Story 1- Heres a hot take, if you and your group of friends on vacation together decide on a nude beach; have a conversation about boundaries. It doesn't have to sound like a therapy session, you should be able to talk to your friends before it goes down. Lesson learned hopefully.
It sounded like they didn’t know it was a nude beach until they were there and saw other people with their tops off. Why they decided to stay after realizing it if they had an issue with it doesn’t make sense.
@kellyhubbard3745 oh I missed that part. I just know I've been in awkward situations where I had to learn that an awkward conversation is better than an awkward/hostile moment later on.
I mean if we're friends I would have said a little something the moment it happened. Everyone just let it keep happening until later then stay mad later.
@@persephone9872 Yes, I totally agree. One of the other girls should have said to her “Let’s go walk in the water” and brought it up then and there. There was definitely a better way to handle this.
Story 7 made me so angry. The bride is NOT the asshole. It’s her wedding day, it is about her and her husband alone. The bride should not have to compromise.
Agreed! Why so many pushovers on this? The idea that every time a bridesmaid has a hard time and cries, the bride has to give them their way is lame. Sure, some weddings don't have a color theme, but saying the bride just shouldn't have had a color theme is a bit much. Slightly too much people-pleasing in some of those thoughts.
@@Conformist138 Sometimes the brides in these stories are a nightmare but this was not the case. That bridesmaid need to go through some grief counseling if not being able to wear her mom's favorite color to a wedding of some unrelated (to her mom) person made her freak out this much.
I was surprised at Morgan saying there should have been compromise on the bride's end. She has been very vocal about how the wedding is about the marrying couple and they should do things how they want, so seeing her backtrack on this one really caught me off guard.
ugh right! I totally understand losing a loved one, but the bridesmaid asked and she was told no. As morgan says, no is a full sentence. If bridesmaids wants to wear purple at her wedding she can, but not at someone else's if they already said no. the pictures would would weird with everyone in matching theme colors and her one purple dress. She is there to support her friend on her wedding day.
For the last story, you have the right to grieve in your own way and as much as you need, but you have no right to impose your grief on someone else. People shouldn't have to walk on eggshells around you or grant your every wish because of your loss. And I'm saying this as someone who lost both parents by the age of 25.
If your friends and family Love you, they would treat your grief with respect. If Your spending a lot of time with someone grieving it inevitably is going to be apparent. So whose job is it To be a little uncomfortable to let the other person feel how they want? I think it makes more sense for the non grieving person to compromise and show a little compassion to their friend
The bride was more than compassionate towards the friend. She tried contacting her multiple times but the friend blocked her on everything and didn't answer the door. She offered her to step down from her position as a bridsmaid, if the dress was really that important to her yet the friend declined. The friend could just NOT wear purple for one day or just step down as a bridsmaid. As much as entiled Brides can get at their wedding, this one wasn't in the wrong. Just because the friend was grieving, doesn't excuse her swearing and yelling at others and make their day all about herself.
Best wishes!!! Hope all goes well you should let a friend or family member know just so they can know what’s going on and make sure you’re doing good after.
As a European, I agree with the NTA comment on the first story. If the friends felt uncomfortable, they should have said something AT THE BEACH. Not corner her when they were back home/at the resort.
@CRYURHEARTOUTANDMAILITTOMYDOOR EXACTLY. Like Jesus. Where I am, you can't even be at the NUDE BEACH and wear swimwear. You can obviously have clothes walking to and from the beach, but at the beach you are supposed to be nude.
Her friends probably didn’t say anything at the beach cause they didn’t want to call her out in front of everyone and embarrass her. I think she’s the asshole, but I also live in America. Probably a culture thing :)
I’m American and I agree with you on the NTA because it was a nude beach. Why didn’t her friends pull her aside and say something? They didn’t. They do sound insecure.
Last story: I don't see why the bride has to compromise for her friend instead of the friend compromising for the bride. This is not about her. This is not about her mom. Is it really so hard to be agreeable to celebrate love for one day? Grief is hard, but it doesn't mean you are more important than anyone else just because you are suffering.
Story #7, the hot takes are so frustrating!!!! I’ve been a bridesmaid 3 times and I am married. If a bridesmaid agrees to be in a wedding, they need to wear the dress/color the bride chooses. It’s the bride’s day!! Bridesmaids have ONE job, support the bride. That means following directions, uplifting the bride on her day, being positive and NEVER make things about you. I get it, the friend lost her mom but that doesn’t give her the right to choose any color dress. Weddings are expensive and require so much planning. The bride had a theme, probably paid thousands for a photographer and someone in the wrong dress would ruin her vision. Saying the purple dress wasn’t a big deal is totally wrong. The friend is the ass hole. If you agree to be a bridesmaid, you don’t get to wear whatever you want. It’s not your day. Period.
Yessss. As someone who I sex averse because of trauma if one of my friends got top less I would politely leave without disrupting everyone's fun. But then again I wouldn't be at the nude beach to begin with 😬
On that second story, if their husbands aren't joining their wives out they can take care of their own children! No need for a babysitter if the dads are staying in and hanging out!
For the last story, I've lost both of my parents. I won't pretend I was an angel afterwards, there were definitely people I treated poorly. But I apologized afterwards and really fought not to in the first place. The friend making the bride's wedding about her and her loss and continually lashing out without ever once realizing she's in the wrong isn't okay. Would it have been nice for the bride to have made room for the purple dress? Sure. But she and her husband were both in agreeance on no. Stick to that, don't be a bridesmaid, or don't come.
I didn't catch that! 😅 I just watched an older episode the other day with a pants-peeing kink story that led into a promo that began with Morgan saying, "Splish, splash..." and it killed me! 😂
friends? What's that like? This concept of having "friends" sounds interesting. Maybe one day I will get to try out this "Having friends" thing I keep hearing people talk about.
The best decision I ever made sexually was to not fake orgasms. I'm loud by default, but I'll always "sexily" guide my partner to what I know works. For the last 4 years, I have had an orgasm almost every time. I'm also an SA survivor and it's helped me take control of my body and my relationship with sex.
Good on you. Too many women forget that sex is a two person activity. Men are not mind readers. If you keep faking it and giving no guidance to what you like how is anyone supposed to know.
Honestly, as a guy, this is really helpful. My wife finally got around to telling me what a tally works and we got tots to accommodate. Sex has never been better since that conversation
@@redbunny22 Unfortunately, I think some folks’ inability to take constructive criticism/guidance out in the world follows them into the bedroom. My wife and I have both had previous experiences with partners like that.
I can’t orgasm during sex but I’m loud as well, I’ve told my partner from the beginning that you won’t get an orgasm out of me but that doesn’t stop her from trying lol, also an sa survivor
For Story 5 about the wedding ring: as a hair stylist pretty much every one of my coworkers tell their significant other to get them a flat ring so it doesn’t get stuck in peoples hair. Every single one ends up with a crazy raised ring that they can’t wear at work. Which then ends up being an argument about them not wearing it. WHYYYY CANT MEN LIIIISSSTTEEENNn.
Last story: I'm 100% with the bride. Think about it: a single white dress stands out in a sea of soft pastels. But throw in a bright vivid purple and now that dress is the center of attention. The wedding day is supposed to be about the couple and the friend was trying to make it about her grief. I get that she is really going through it, but other people's lives don't stop for yours.
I completely agree. If she needed to wear purple so desperately then she can go sit her ass in the seats with the rest of the guests. The second you disregard my first or second “no” and keep asking; let alone BLOCK ME; is the moment you’re no longer my bridesmaid
On that story about getting high, I’m a mom and I don’t think she’s an ahole. I never expect anyone to take care of my kids besides me and my partner. His family have to reassure me that they want to help because I don’t want them to think I’m using them.
Bruh I had to literally push my sister out the door, insisting that it's fine and I wanted quality time with my niece. Even if it was something important but not appropriate for kids, she still had a hard time "dumping my kid on other people."
Story 7: YTA. I lost my dad at a young age (17) and have been a bridesmaid before. It’s a wedding, you agreed to be a bridesmaid, the bride gets to choose the dress color. She could’ve incorporated purple into her accessories, but she chose to make someone else’s special day about her. I don’t agree that the bride should’ve compromised, her request was 100% reasonable. She is not the asshole, at all. Either choose something within the theme or don’t be in the wedding party and wear whatever you want.
story 7- It’s hard to be real about it but people have lost people too. She had a dress code for a wedding (where there’s tons of pictures) and that’s bottom line, it doesn’t make her any different because she lost someone. I lost my dad at 17 in a traumatic way, but I do not expect to be treated differently, especially if the bride already said no. I would put on an purple accessory or the nail polish is a good idea. I carry around my dads mechanic name tag on my keys, he knows I honor him. :)
@@DiMagnoliathe reception was my thought. Wear the correct dress for photos and the ceremony, and change into a dark purple party dress for the reception. I doubt the bride would have cared.
I hate how as a society we put such a bad stigma on being or feeling insecure. Like there’s something very wrong with you if you have even a little bit of insecurity. I think that’s so toxic too because we are fragile humans just trying to navigate ourselves, connections that mean a lot to us and this thing called life. It’s not easy. Possible. But not easy (this is also about the nude beach story)
Of course, you are not alone. I just wish we could be more emphatic to people being insecure. There is literally nothing wrong with it I think what’s wrong is the outcome/how you react. But I am insecure but I’m not a hater. But if something makes me feel uneasy then that’s how it makes me feel. I shouldn’t be shamed for it. People that make others shamed for their insecurities will only make a person more insecure and not want to talk about it…which solves nothing. I just want others to be more understanding. Not everyone grew up with a secure attachment style or not everyone didn’t grow up with any abuse in any form. The more we understand each other and empathize, the more we grow
If you’re referring to the sex toys story, I think that is a little different. Every person has their insecurities. Exactly like you said, we’re human. But it’s when you push your insecurities onto another person that’s bad. Ie: not allowing your partner to use a toy because you’re insecure. You should obviously be comfortable in your relationships. But if it is an insecurity that’s stopping you from doing something you should work on your insecurity and not apply rules to other people because of how you feel. I do agree that people get upset at those with insecurities or that they’re seen as a bad person. And we should be gentler to people, especially on the internet. But I wanted to butt in a little bit and give another perspective.
Being insecure doesn't make someone inherently less-than. But the reason it's always pointed out is because it is in fact a problem that will negatively affect them and others. It's not some little innocuous thing that doesn't affect a person's own quality of life, nor is it just a personality quirk. You seek to resolve insecurity like you seek to resolve anger or depression or other emotional issues. The reason people who are insecure are often talked about in a negative light is because insecurities often show themselves when people say or do something negative as a result. People who confess to being insecure without actually doing anything as a result of being insecure are rarely ever ridiculed, because they're not affecting anyone else.
@@gracefulsnake6399 I was referring to the nude beach story. The sex toy story has more to do with him straight up lying to her when they both could have been using toys from the beginning. I don't agree with how he handled it one bit. He broke trust basically.
The ring one frustrated me so much. The husband completely disregarded what she wanted. When she wanted something less expensive. I just think it shows his disregard for her opinions and her feelings.
He disregarded his own as well mind you ** it seems genuinely like an unfortunate situation where he may have been raised to believe “parents always right” hence the trust despite also not liking the ring. Hopefully they have a conversation about that dynamic though because that more so comes down to HIM practicing HIS boundaries which it doesnt seem like he knows he can with his parents
As someone who's autistic with adhd I have no idea how you manage to consistently make and bring these episodes out like this but boy do I appreciate it
Story 7- Many people, when they lose someone, feel guilty when celebrating things again, especially if they are still in mourning. Perhaps the color purple made her feel more comfortable with the idea of attending a party. Still, I think if she wasn't ready she should have said soo, skipped the event and wish OP a fantastic wedding.
I always ask before getting nude in front of people even if it seems entirely appropriate for the situation. Some people are just uncomfortable around nude bodies for various reasons and I would hate to be bringing that feeling up in someone I cared about. Especially when it's supposed to be a fun and relaxing time.
I am the same way. I am body positive but I will ask too. The only time there’s no need to ask is when you’re at a festival where people are walking around naked (Big Dub festival) but like if you are with a group of your friends and their partners.. a simple ask or conversation with your homegirls wouldn’t have hurt.
Story 1: personally I wouldn’t care cus it is a nude beach and I probably would have been topless too buuuuuuut I also would have asked the friends with husbands first and been cool if they said nah for whatever reason. Op was wrong when she called them insecure cus I could see the side where it’s like it’s one thing seeing random women you’ll never see again boobs vs seeing your wife’s friends boobs being an issue and it’s being purposefully obtuse to pretend it wouldn’t make some ppl uncomfortable. Even I can understand that.
Regarding the flesh light story I went to reddit and someone asked if using a flesh light is better than a real vagina. Here is the concensus: its not. The people who commented said it was great but there is nothing like the real thing. Question answered!
to that first story - I've had literal NIGHTMARES about being the only person topless in a room of people (yes, I'm in therapy. lol) so like... I would 100% be having a convo with everyone first, before ditching my shirt, regardless of nude beach status.
For the last story: don't compromise with people when they are trying to inappropriately take control away from you. You literally can't do it, because by forcing themselves into an issue that wasnt their choice in the first place, compromise is just a stepping stone to getting what they want. You're the one who acquiesced, so they have you on the move. I won't say anything bad about the bridesmaid because grief is difficult, but everyone grieving differently isn't a valid excuse to insist in changing the details, even seemingly arbitrary ones, for someone else's event. This is a good time to set healthy boundaries, as much as it sucks. It's just not going to serve their friendship in the future if bridesmaid can use unrelated tragedies to push her friend into getting her way. Compromise can be great, but only when both people actually have a valid middle point. "I'm sad so I'm changing your wedding color theme" isn't a starting point with a real middle. Either bridesmaid honors the color scheme or she does not.
Story 5: people are crazy with ring prices and weddings. I picked out a ring set a little over $1000 and my hubby got it for even cheaper. I get compliments all the time. Our wedding was also only around $3000 vs. Friends that got married before us that are still paying off their weddings. Still married 4 years later and just had our first kid.
Story 7: NTA it's my wedding and it's one day, why should I compromise on my once in a lifetime moment. The best friend disregarded the beides wishes multiple time even after being told nicely not to wear purple again mutile times. Also as I said on the other video the friend should've spoke her mind instead of saying it was fine when it clearly wasn't.
For the first story…. Why are you going to a nude beach then get mad if someone partakes in the “nude” part? If they knew they wouldn’t be comfortable with that, they shouldn’t have gone to a nude beach. If anything, the friends should’ve joined in.
I have a Moissanite ring and band set in platinum and it is stunning! The shape and size were perfect for my finger and we wanted something that was affordable since we were buying a house at the same time. I would totally recommend and it's been years and hasn't changed at all. I keep it cleaned and NO ONE knows the difference.
I've been wearing one of those rubber ones for a while because my weight fluxgates due to a medical issue, like a ring will fit perfectly one day and the next it's a little too tight to wear but the next week it's so loose it'll fall off of me. Hubby knew about it so he got me this pretty necklace with my favorite stone as the pendant. Love my necklace, just a little sad I can't wear a ring consistently.
I agree! My ring is Moissanite in a yellow gold band and it’s stunning. I get compliments all the time and everyone thinks it’s WAY more expensive than it actuallly was. I wouldn’t care at all if people knew it was moissanite (all of my friends and family know) but strangers just assume it’s a big expensive diamond haha
Hi Morgan, there is one thing I always want to get out of my chest whenever you talk about diamonds. It is a really deep, depressing topic but people in my home country Congo are getting killed because of diamonds. There is a movie called "Blood Diamond" about it, but it's deeply heavy and nothing to be watched for entertainment
There is also a great book called “blood diamonds” about the experiences the movie was based on. It’s horrific and so sad but I think everyone who is considering diamonds should read it.
@@corablah9809 I don’t think they want her to do anything about it, they’re just saying the movie is informative but the word “entertaining” is not the best word to describe it
I never got why we still endorse this B.S. They are just lumps of carbon. We have lab diamonds. They are nicer than mined ones. We should just stop mining diamonds there is no excuse besides sheer greed. Every one who buys mined diamonds and says they care about people are hypocrites.
Someone said that being at a nudist beach implies consent and I agree absolutely. However you're not there by yourself, you're there with multiple people. Im all for free titties but 3rd party consent is so important when it comes to closer relationships. If you were alone, by all means do as the Romans do. But these are people I assume you have a level of respect with. I think the topless OP should've at least gave a warning.
I know my husband would be incredibly uncomfortable if my friend was insistent on showing him her tits and rationalizing it because we accidentally walked on a nude beach. It's weird. I hate women like her. It's different if you're being normal, you feel comfortable nude and you're known for being casual about your naked body, but that's not her case lol, she's one of those girls that wants every man in existence to look at her boobs.
That’s also if they knew they were going to a nudist beach, which it doesn’t sound like it did. It sounds like the OP saw a girl with her top off and thought it was fair game.
Not to mention very few people were at the beach in the first place, and all the other topless people were in the distance, so it's not like the friend group was clearly fine with nudity just by being there, which people seem to assume despite all this being mentioned in the story
@@T_Cup THANK U FOR NOTICING THAT the nude beach argument doesnt work cuz you cant force people to be nude in a nude beach either so ofc they thought oh its a beach and empty what others do is none of our business and like op said just two people that too far away it all made sense to me until op does what they did
NTA on the first story! Why would you go to a nude beach if you’re not comfortable with nudity? In Europe nudity is for the person who is nude. Not anyone else. So to take it so offensively, her friends need to check their insecurities and maybe research the area their going before going on vacation. Nudity is extremely normal in lots of areas in Europe.
My opinion on the first one: I do think it was kind of weird for her to take her top off when nobody else did especially in front of everyone’s husbands lol to be honest I’m kind of that person that I would probably take my top off at a nudist beach as well, but if nobody else was doing it I would feel a little awkward and probably put it back on. LMAO. I do think that her friends should’ve just said something to her right on the spot about it. If it was my friend, I would’ve tried to make a joke or some thing and say girl, our men are here put your damn top back on! 😂 and then laughed about it a little bit. I wouldn’t have just acted like everything was fine and then avoided her the rest of the night and then ganged up on her after the whole thing was already over with and she couldn’t even do anything to fix the situation. I know it’s hard but I wish people would just speak up in the moment more, when they can do so.
@@mellodees3663I’m thinking they didn’t want to embarrass her in front of literally the whole friend group? Or maybe each one was uncomfortable but thought the others were ok with it until they all talked later
I don't know why out of the entire podcast this got me, but when you were talking about Dahmer and she said "I saw it through" it sent me 😭 just the way she said it lmao
Last story, pastel blue, pastel coral, and pastel green were my spring wedding colours. If anyone's interested I can make a THT reddit post with some pictures. They actually paired nicely! :)😊
There is nothing wrong with picking your own ring. If you’re getting engaged, I would hope you would have talked about marriage at that point so an engagement ring isn’t a huge surprise. I picked my exact ring out without even knowing it. We had looked online and I thought I knew what I wanted. We were on vacation antique shopping and I fell in love with a ring. My now husband called his family we were visiting and had them pick it up for him. His parents met them halfway to get it. I was shocked when I saw it. Also, my ring was less than 2k and he got a deal on it because his aunt was good friends with the owner. It was perfect!
For story #7 purple accents with the pastel green that OP allowed for a bridesmaid color as well would've looked amazing. Green and Purple's frequently look amazing and mesh so well together. She still could've worn some purple accessories. She's childish for not just putting up with it for ONE DAY. She doesn't just get to walk all over OP and disrespect her wedding day just because she's grieving. I didn't go around screaming at people when my mom's heart stopped (she's fine now, but has almost died multiple times and technically has flatlined once with no pulse.) When that happened it felt like the world stopped, but I didn't go around treating my friends like garbage because of it. Just because she's grieving does not mean she gets to ruin other people's day's just because her life isn't going the way she wanted. She doesn't get to set other people on fire to keep herself warm. That's simply not right or fair to OP or her husband in this situation, who have paid for this wedding and deserve to have their special day. If she can't behave for one day and not throw a tantrum for one day, then she should be prepared to lose some friends. Not every single day and every single second of everyone else's lives are going to revolve around her, and it's time she learned that.
Story 1- NTA. Going to a nude beach , consent is implied. If OP's friends didn't want to see her breasts they should have said something then and there. It sounds like OP's friends were insecure but didn't want to say anything until they all knew that they could get a concensus against OP. At worst, this one is an ESH, but just barely because of the beach rules
Agree - The friends 100% should’ve spoken up. Personally if I was OP though I would’ve quickly asked ‘hey are you’ll cool if I take my top off’ before doing so because they did not plan to go to a nude beach, they stubbled upon it (5:24). So I think there’s the tiniest bit of fault on her for not asking
@@andresfincher668f op saw the other people that were nude the friends most likely did and chose to not say anything until they could gang up on her. ppl don't go topless for no reason usually so they had to have looked around just like op did and seen it was okay.
@@succubitch1054 yeah the wives definitely needed to speak up. I feel bad that OP didn’t ask, bc if she had and they still didn’t say anything she would be fully NTA
I am absolutely disgusted and SHOCKED about the coconut story 😭. I literally cannot even fathom why he thought he could keep that coconut there without it even rotting at least!!!
Nooo! Not the coconut story! I would love it if you did an episode with classic reddit horror stories, like the cum box story or the dude who broke both his arms... 😂
Story 1: The issue here is that all three women should be holding their husbands accountable, not their friend. My question is, why does it matter whose chest is exposed? Whether it’s a friend, a stranger, or anyone else, it’s clear that others were topless as well. Are these women going to ask everyone to cover up? It seems like they were feeling insecure and, instead of addressing it with their husbands, they unfairly took it out on OP. Even if they later realized they were at a nude beach, they should have left if they were that concerned about their husbands looking at other women.
obsessed with the one co-host that isn’t originally from new york but inexplicably has an even HEAVIER brooklyn accent than the one from NY lmfao. they were such fun and funny guests, and i enjoyed hearing their perspectives! WILD stories in today’s episode, what a fun time!
Story 1: I'm from europe and I think she's TA, even though it might be a little too strong of a word. I thing she's in the wrong. I'm personally cool with people going topless, I don't care. BUT while it can be normal to go topless depending where you are in europe, it also always depends on the context, and to just do it without making sure that your friends are comfortable with it says that you're not a good friend period. It's one thing to see random people go topless, but it's different if your friend does it and then stays right there next to you without asking if you are comfortable with it. While it's "normal" it's still nudity and you need to make sure that all the people that are with you consent to see you naked, and not because there are men involved, it would be the same for a group of women. People need to learn to be mindful and respectful of other people boundaries, just because you can do something it doesn't mean you should then do it every time everywhere at all cost "just because you can".
i just wanna say since i saw a recent comment that some ppl dont like the collabs, i personally love them! i love seeing new perspectives on the new stories, but i of course love the regular cast, i just dont want morgan to be too let down, since alot of ppl like the fresh faces and opinions :) this is my fav podcast, i tune in no matter whos on as long as morgan is there!
LOVE the podcast, but as an APCC (associate professional clinical counselor/therapist) I finally have to get something off my chest… Enmeshment is NOT just between mothers and their sons. Whilst that is one example, a more accurate definition of enmeshment is a relationship pattern in which personal boundaries and identities are unclear. Mothers grooming their sons into thinking no other woman can take her place? Absolutely enmeshment…and enmeshment can look like twins who can’t make personal decisions without the approval of the other, famous couple Bonnie, and Clyde, etc. Just had to get out that brain itch. BUT with the vastness of the topic, I would love to see an enmeshment or not episode!
when people say “it definitely feels better for men” i don’t understand how they dont realize that people experience sex differently. like for me, outer stimulation is meh, inner stimulation is fucking mind blowing. for most afab people it’s the opposite.
For story 1: NTA imo. If there was any chance of the group being uncomfortable with nudity, either express that to the group beforehand or just don’t go to a topless beach. Or when OP took her top off, express your discomfort. She would have apologized and fixed it. But as far as I know, OP is not psychic so unless the friends would have expressed this in the past, I see her choice as a “when in Rome” situation especially where there were other topless women on the beach. She wanted the experience. If her friends didn’t, they should have said something earlier instead of acting so hostile. Just my take…
Story 1: Imo OP is clearly in the wrong. It’s not about being prudish or sexualizing anyone, it’s completely situational. If you wouldn’t take your top off in front of your friends’ husbands at a pool party, being on vacation doesn’t make it okay. My feeling is OP knew this and did it anyway without asking because she knew her gfs husbands wouldn’t complain even if they were uncomfortable and her gfs wouldn’t want to seem like buzz kills. Her immediate response of calling her gfs insecure instead of being apologetic or trying to reason with them is a big tell that she’s TA. Plus, everyone else who was topless other than OP were in the distance and the beach was fairly empty, so it’s not like her friends were comfortable with anyone being nude Story 7: Anna is 100% TA. She saw an opportunity to hijack OP’s wedding as a way to divert all attention to her by being the only one in purple, and when OP “stole” that opportunity from her, she didn’t act like a grieving daughter, she got as loud as possible in a last-ditch effort to refocus all attention to herself. She’s just using her grief as a get out of jail free card for her ridiculous behaviour. Otherwise, she could’ve not attended the wedding at all - she had no problem blocking the OP, so why not just opt out of this one event?

Just my take… for story 6: I could totally see this issue being valid if she was relating it if it was the mother of the groom who passed, but like this marriage doesn’t have anything to do with your mom’s passing. I understand loss, but sadly not everything revolves around the loss of your mom. Sad for her grief, but like there is a time a place to honor that loss
The last story omg. The bride is not at fault!!!! Even before she mentioned the thing about paying for therapy and sleeping in her bed - it’s literally her wedding day and she made the colour scheme clear from the start. The friend is trying to make it about her for no reason it’s so disrespectful
I had kidney stones at 37 weeks pregnant 😅everyone at the hospital was convinced I was in labor and I was in too much pain to speak but I would manage to get out "NOT. LABOR." 😅😂
Morgan you are the best 🥰❤️ telling her to use that cream and you could just tell you REALLY gave af about the fact that she couldn’t get there MORGAN is the MVP of friends guys!
The ring story: my husband and i got married before we got our rings. When we went ring shopping i told him no rocks, i want a band, i dont want anything normal wedding rings look like. We ended up getting matching one of a kind hand crafted rings from a jewler. Now here is the kick we spent the same amount on our two rings that a buddy of his spent on his wifes one ring. I love my ring so much and i want to wear it. I need this prego hand swelling to come down so that i can wear it
Related to the engagement ring story: my fiancé and I went shopping for my engagement ring together and I was repeatedly told by family, friends, AND jewelers that my taste was “simple” and “plain” because I wanted a band with inset diamonds/stones (I think it’s called an infinity band), and I was always told that I needed to go for these super flashy rings that I thought looked hideous. My fiancé ignored everyone’s opinions, EXCEPT for mine, and now we are engaged and I wear a ring that I love and is more my style rather than a big rock for the sake of having a big rock. Get yourself a man that listens to YOU lol
I wish my bf had taken me too, or even ask my sister but instead he asked his male best friend. My ring is white gold (which I never use), with the stone too high up which is uncomfortable for me specially since it’s too big and he didn’t even ask if we could request a resize 🥲 for my wedding band I choose it myself and I’m planing on wearing it alone after the wedding
Story 5-ish...you do what you need to do at your pace! I am 42 and from a small town so I understand certain timelines. I have been in a monogamous relationship for 20 years, yet we had our wedding ceremony 2 years ago (we joke about being newlyweds). We got engaged at 9 years, ceremony in our backyard at 18 years and our two boys were the ring bearers (5 & 8 yrs old)....it was perfect and on our own time!
Story 1- Heres a hot take, if you and your group of friends on vacation together decide on a nude beach; have a conversation about boundaries. It doesn't have to sound like a therapy session, you should be able to talk to your friends before it goes down. Lesson learned hopefully.
It sounded like they didn’t know it was a nude beach until they were there and saw other people with their tops off. Why they decided to stay after realizing it if they had an issue with it doesn’t make sense.
@kellyhubbard3745 oh I missed that part. I just know I've been in awkward situations where I had to learn that an awkward conversation is better than an awkward/hostile moment later on.
I mean if we're friends I would have said a little something the moment it happened. Everyone just let it keep happening until later then stay mad later.
@@persephone9872 Yes, I totally agree. One of the other girls should have said to her “Let’s go walk in the water” and brought it up then and there. There was definitely a better way to handle this.
control your fucking husbands!!! their takes on the first story are bad
Story 7 made me so angry. The bride is NOT the asshole. It’s her wedding day, it is about her and her husband alone. The bride should not have to compromise.
THISSSS!
It’s her day. The mom has nothing to do with this day…
Agreed! Why so many pushovers on this? The idea that every time a bridesmaid has a hard time and cries, the bride has to give them their way is lame. Sure, some weddings don't have a color theme, but saying the bride just shouldn't have had a color theme is a bit much. Slightly too much people-pleasing in some of those thoughts.
@@Conformist138 Sometimes the brides in these stories are a nightmare but this was not the case. That bridesmaid need to go through some grief counseling if not being able to wear her mom's favorite color to a wedding of some unrelated (to her mom) person made her freak out this much.
I was surprised at Morgan saying there should have been compromise on the bride's end. She has been very vocal about how the wedding is about the marrying couple and they should do things how they want, so seeing her backtrack on this one really caught me off guard.
ugh right! I totally understand losing a loved one, but the bridesmaid asked and she was told no. As morgan says, no is a full sentence. If bridesmaids wants to wear purple at her wedding she can, but not at someone else's if they already said no. the pictures would would weird with everyone in matching theme colors and her one purple dress. She is there to support her friend on her wedding day.
For the last story, you have the right to grieve in your own way and as much as you need, but you have no right to impose your grief on someone else. People shouldn't have to walk on eggshells around you or grant your every wish because of your loss. And I'm saying this as someone who lost both parents by the age of 25.
If your friends and family
Love you, they would treat your grief with respect. If
Your spending a lot of time with someone grieving it inevitably is going to be apparent. So whose job is it
To be a little uncomfortable to let the other person feel how they want? I think it makes more sense for the non grieving person to compromise and show a little compassion to their friend
The bride was more than compassionate towards the friend.
She tried contacting her multiple times but the friend blocked her on everything and didn't answer the door.
She offered her to step down from her position as a bridsmaid, if the dress was really that important to her yet the friend declined.
The friend could just NOT wear purple for one day or just step down as a bridsmaid.
As much as entiled Brides can get at their wedding, this one wasn't in the wrong.
Just because the friend was grieving, doesn't excuse her swearing and yelling at others and make their day all about herself.
“He came back around. His mom probably passed away” I spit out my drink and laughed so hard at that omfg hahaha
So funny 😂
Read this comment right as they’d said that lol
I’m breaking up with my boyfriend of two years tonight.. I freakin needed this episode
Wishing you all the best, hope you are doing well
Best wishes!!! Hope all goes well you should let a friend or family member know just so they can know what’s going on and make sure you’re doing good after.
Yes. let a friend, acquaintance, anyone you know and trust about the breakup plan. You never can predict how he’ll react.
Oof, good luck!!
Best of luck!! You’ve got this friend.
As a European, I agree with the NTA comment on the first story. If the friends felt uncomfortable, they should have said something AT THE BEACH. Not corner her when they were back home/at the resort.
Exactly
You can’t go to a NUDE beach and then get upset when someone is NUDE.
@CRYURHEARTOUTANDMAILITTOMYDOOR EXACTLY. Like Jesus. Where I am, you can't even be at the NUDE BEACH and wear swimwear. You can obviously have clothes walking to and from the beach, but at the beach you are supposed to be nude.
Her friends probably didn’t say anything at the beach cause they didn’t want to call her out in front of everyone and embarrass her. I think she’s the asshole, but I also live in America. Probably a culture thing :)
YESS, it’s literally so normal here
I’m American and I agree with you on the NTA because it was a nude beach. Why didn’t her friends pull her aside and say something? They didn’t. They do sound insecure.
Last story: I don't see why the bride has to compromise for her friend instead of the friend compromising for the bride. This is not about her. This is not about her mom. Is it really so hard to be agreeable to celebrate love for one day? Grief is hard, but it doesn't mean you are more important than anyone else just because you are suffering.
Story #7, the hot takes are so frustrating!!!! I’ve been a bridesmaid 3 times and I am married. If a bridesmaid agrees to be in a wedding, they need to wear the dress/color the bride chooses. It’s the bride’s day!! Bridesmaids have ONE job, support the bride. That means following directions, uplifting the bride on her day, being positive and NEVER make things about you. I get it, the friend lost her mom but that doesn’t give her the right to choose any color dress. Weddings are expensive and require so much planning. The bride had a theme, probably paid thousands for a photographer and someone in the wrong dress would ruin her vision. Saying the purple dress wasn’t a big deal is totally wrong. The friend is the ass hole. If you agree to be a bridesmaid, you don’t get to wear whatever you want. It’s not your day. Period.
morgan i appreciate how sex positive you are while also acknowledging how hard it can be for women. it makes me feel much better
Yessss. As someone who I sex averse because of trauma if one of my friends got top less I would politely leave without disrupting everyone's fun. But then again I wouldn't be at the nude beach to begin with 😬
On that second story, if their husbands aren't joining their wives out they can take care of their own children! No need for a babysitter if the dads are staying in and hanging out!
Right? It’s giving dads that think watching their own kids is “babysitting”
For the last story, I've lost both of my parents. I won't pretend I was an angel afterwards, there were definitely people I treated poorly. But I apologized afterwards and really fought not to in the first place. The friend making the bride's wedding about her and her loss and continually lashing out without ever once realizing she's in the wrong isn't okay. Would it have been nice for the bride to have made room for the purple dress? Sure. But she and her husband were both in agreeance on no. Stick to that, don't be a bridesmaid, or don't come.
“You could milk that thing” “Today’s episode is sponsored by PayPal honey”😹 i dont know why, but that sudden transition had me😹😭
I just got to it and I’m crying laughing 😂
Omg yes 😂😂😂 I’m so glad someone else noticed on that! Had me laughing out loud for a hot second
I didn't catch that! 😅 I just watched an older episode the other day with a pants-peeing kink story that led into a promo that began with Morgan saying, "Splish, splash..." and it killed me! 😂
I came to the comments just to find someone who was thrown that hard 😂
man that coconut story might make me start listening to trigger warnings 😭😭
Literally!!! I had to pause the show and rethink why I think i should ignore tws. Never again.
LMFAO LIKE.... i've been ok with the poop stories, really sad stories, etc. But MAGGOTS? 😭
I had to skip some of it. I wished I skipped more. 😵💫🤢
Lmao no seriously!!
I started dry heaving and I usually have an iron stomach that was absolutely disgusting ugh 🤢
“I just want a penis so I can piss everywhere” this is the realist thing I’ve ever heard. I think about this like 20 times a day
I’m glad I’m not alone in that occupying my thoughts so damn much 😂
Fr tho! I've said the same thing many times 😂😂😂
I wanna helicopter 🤣
morgan makes travel plans with every guest just about every episode 😂😂 i love it lol 💖
Always down for new friends hehe
@@TwoHotTakesI need more friends who want to travel like you do 😂
friends? What's that like? This concept of having "friends" sounds interesting. Maybe one day I will get to try out this "Having friends" thing I keep hearing people talk about.
The best decision I ever made sexually was to not fake orgasms. I'm loud by default, but I'll always "sexily" guide my partner to what I know works. For the last 4 years, I have had an orgasm almost every time. I'm also an SA survivor and it's helped me take control of my body and my relationship with sex.
Good on you. Too many women forget that sex is a two person activity. Men are not mind readers. If you keep faking it and giving no guidance to what you like how is anyone supposed to know.
Honestly, as a guy, this is really helpful. My wife finally got around to telling me what a tally works and we got tots to accommodate. Sex has never been better since that conversation
@@redbunny22 Unfortunately, I think some folks’ inability to take constructive criticism/guidance out in the world follows them into the bedroom. My wife and I have both had previous experiences with partners like that.
I can’t orgasm during sex but I’m loud as well, I’ve told my partner from the beginning that you won’t get an orgasm out of me but that doesn’t stop her from trying lol, also an sa survivor
the coconut story is absolutely sending me, I think the accents made this episode so much more hilarious
Gotta call the “Fawy dapatman” 💀💀💀
For Story 5 about the wedding ring: as a hair stylist pretty much every one of my coworkers tell their significant other to get them a flat ring so it doesn’t get stuck in peoples hair. Every single one ends up with a crazy raised ring that they can’t wear at work. Which then ends up being an argument about them not wearing it. WHYYYY CANT MEN LIIIISSSTTEEENNn.
Last story: I'm 100% with the bride. Think about it: a single white dress stands out in a sea of soft pastels. But throw in a bright vivid purple and now that dress is the center of attention. The wedding day is supposed to be about the couple and the friend was trying to make it about her grief. I get that she is really going through it, but other people's lives don't stop for yours.
I completely agree. If she needed to wear purple so desperately then she can go sit her ass in the seats with the rest of the guests. The second you disregard my first or second “no” and keep asking; let alone BLOCK ME; is the moment you’re no longer my bridesmaid
On that story about getting high, I’m a mom and I don’t think she’s an ahole. I never expect anyone to take care of my kids besides me and my partner. His family have to reassure me that they want to help because I don’t want them to think I’m using them.
Bruh I had to literally push my sister out the door, insisting that it's fine and I wanted quality time with my niece. Even if it was something important but not appropriate for kids, she still had a hard time "dumping my kid on other people."
yes! omg it always baffles me when parents think their kids are just things that you can hand off. like what?
Story 7: YTA. I lost my dad at a young age (17) and have been a bridesmaid before. It’s a wedding, you agreed to be a bridesmaid, the bride gets to choose the dress color. She could’ve incorporated purple into her accessories, but she chose to make someone else’s special day about her. I don’t agree that the bride should’ve compromised, her request was 100% reasonable. She is not the asshole, at all. Either choose something within the theme or don’t be in the wedding party and wear whatever you want.
story 7- It’s hard to be real about it but people have lost people too. She had a dress code for a wedding (where there’s tons of pictures) and that’s bottom line, it doesn’t make her any different because she lost someone. I lost my dad at 17 in a traumatic way, but I do not expect to be treated differently, especially if the bride already said no. I would put on an purple accessory or the nail polish is a good idea. I carry around my dads mechanic name tag on my keys, he knows I honor him. :)
Why couldn’t she just be a guest? Then she could wear purple. Or change into purple for the reception? Idk it’s so odd that she demanded that.
That’s very sweet♥️ I’m sorry for your loss.
@@DiMagnoliathe reception was my thought. Wear the correct dress for photos and the ceremony, and change into a dark purple party dress for the reception. I doubt the bride would have cared.
@@Conformist138 That's a good idea!
@@cecile5780 Thank you so much
I hate how as a society we put such a bad stigma on being or feeling insecure. Like there’s something very wrong with you if you have even a little bit of insecurity. I think that’s so toxic too because we are fragile humans just trying to navigate ourselves, connections that mean a lot to us and this thing called life. It’s not easy. Possible. But not easy (this is also about the nude beach story)
Thank you so much for saying this, I've been feeling the same way. This weird phenomenon of dog piling on someone for being human is so aggravating.
Of course, you are not alone. I just wish we could be more emphatic to people being insecure. There is literally nothing wrong with it I think what’s wrong is the outcome/how you react. But I am insecure but I’m not a hater. But if something makes me feel uneasy then that’s how it makes me feel. I shouldn’t be shamed for it. People that make others shamed for their insecurities will only make a person more insecure and not want to talk about it…which solves nothing. I just want others to be more understanding. Not everyone grew up with a secure attachment style or not everyone didn’t grow up with any abuse in any form. The more we understand each other and empathize, the more we grow
If you’re referring to the sex toys story, I think that is a little different. Every person has their insecurities. Exactly like you said, we’re human. But it’s when you push your insecurities onto another person that’s bad. Ie: not allowing your partner to use a toy because you’re insecure. You should obviously be comfortable in your relationships. But if it is an insecurity that’s stopping you from doing something you should work on your insecurity and not apply rules to other people because of how you feel.
I do agree that people get upset at those with insecurities or that they’re seen as a bad person. And we should be gentler to people, especially on the internet.
But I wanted to butt in a little bit and give another perspective.
Being insecure doesn't make someone inherently less-than. But the reason it's always pointed out is because it is in fact a problem that will negatively affect them and others. It's not some little innocuous thing that doesn't affect a person's own quality of life, nor is it just a personality quirk. You seek to resolve insecurity like you seek to resolve anger or depression or other emotional issues. The reason people who are insecure are often talked about in a negative light is because insecurities often show themselves when people say or do something negative as a result. People who confess to being insecure without actually doing anything as a result of being insecure are rarely ever ridiculed, because they're not affecting anyone else.
@@gracefulsnake6399 I was referring to the nude beach story. The sex toy story has more to do with him straight up lying to her when they both could have been using toys from the beginning. I don't agree with how he handled it one bit. He broke trust basically.
I have a moissanite stone ring and I love it!! It is more sparkly, ethical, and affordable than diamonds. 10/10.
Same!! I love mine!!
Same! I love that it shines rainbow!
The ring one frustrated me so much. The husband completely disregarded what she wanted. When she wanted something less expensive. I just think it shows his disregard for her opinions and her feelings.
He disregarded his own as well mind you ** it seems genuinely like an unfortunate situation where he may have been raised to believe “parents always right” hence the trust despite also not liking the ring. Hopefully they have a conversation about that dynamic though because that more so comes down to HIM practicing HIS boundaries which it doesnt seem like he knows he can with his parents
I'm glad it ended well though. I think he just had an unfortunate laps in judgment
The trigger warning on story 4 doesn't do it justice 🤢🤢
Way too late, I was like this is worse than any poop story morgan could tell 😂
@@Kitakat994 fully agreed. That story was VILE
“I’m going to get my nails done” -Morgan “I’m calling CPS” 😂😂😂
As someone who's autistic with adhd I have no idea how you manage to consistently make and bring these episodes out like this but boy do I appreciate it
Story 7- Many people, when they lose someone, feel guilty when celebrating things again, especially if they are still in mourning. Perhaps the color purple made her feel more comfortable with the idea of attending a party. Still, I think if she wasn't ready she should have said soo, skipped the event and wish OP a fantastic wedding.
I always ask before getting nude in front of people even if it seems entirely appropriate for the situation. Some people are just uncomfortable around nude bodies for various reasons and I would hate to be bringing that feeling up in someone I cared about. Especially when it's supposed to be a fun and relaxing time.
Yeah honestly even when men are shirtless, I'm uncomfortable. I don't want to see anyone's titties.
I am the same way. I am body positive but I will ask too. The only time there’s no need to ask is when you’re at a festival where people are walking around naked (Big Dub festival) but like if you are with a group of your friends and their partners.. a simple ask or conversation with your homegirls wouldn’t have hurt.
if you’re uncomfortable about nudity, don’t go to a nude beach 😆
@@katrinaa980 I don't think they knew it was a nude beach. Op said she figured it out when she saw topless people in the distance.
Story 1: personally I wouldn’t care cus it is a nude beach and I probably would have been topless too buuuuuuut I also would have asked the friends with husbands first and been cool if they said nah for whatever reason. Op was wrong when she called them insecure cus I could see the side where it’s like it’s one thing seeing random women you’ll never see again boobs vs seeing your wife’s friends boobs being an issue and it’s being purposefully obtuse to pretend it wouldn’t make some ppl uncomfortable. Even I can understand that.
morgan looking fiiiiine. justin better be mf appreciative of her every single day♥️
I thought this said Justin Bieber and I was like omg?? I can’t wait for this ep. Lol
Hahaha Justin adores her, you can tell. She is gorgeous and her man is all for her
he better put a ring on it before i do fr 😈
She better appreciate him thoooo

Regarding the flesh light story I went to reddit and someone asked if using a flesh light is better than a real vagina. Here is the concensus: its not. The people who commented said it was great but there is nothing like the real thing. Question answered!
to that first story - I've had literal NIGHTMARES about being the only person topless in a room of people (yes, I'm in therapy. lol) so like... I would 100% be having a convo with everyone first, before ditching my shirt, regardless of nude beach status.
For the last story: don't compromise with people when they are trying to inappropriately take control away from you. You literally can't do it, because by forcing themselves into an issue that wasnt their choice in the first place, compromise is just a stepping stone to getting what they want. You're the one who acquiesced, so they have you on the move. I won't say anything bad about the bridesmaid because grief is difficult, but everyone grieving differently isn't a valid excuse to insist in changing the details, even seemingly arbitrary ones, for someone else's event. This is a good time to set healthy boundaries, as much as it sucks. It's just not going to serve their friendship in the future if bridesmaid can use unrelated tragedies to push her friend into getting her way. Compromise can be great, but only when both people actually have a valid middle point. "I'm sad so I'm changing your wedding color theme" isn't a starting point with a real middle. Either bridesmaid honors the color scheme or she does not.
It's funny because "do you ever feel like you missed out" is the question I would only think to ask people who got married and had kids young.
Story 5: people are crazy with ring prices and weddings. I picked out a ring set a little over $1000 and my hubby got it for even cheaper. I get compliments all the time. Our wedding was also only around $3000 vs. Friends that got married before us that are still paying off their weddings. Still married 4 years later and just had our first kid.
just saw the video where morgan heard “it’s a teammate not competition” for the first time from a guest and now it’s a frequent phrase😭
Story 7: NTA it's my wedding and it's one day, why should I compromise on my once in a lifetime moment. The best friend disregarded the beides wishes multiple time even after being told nicely not to wear purple again mutile times. Also as I said on the other video the friend should've spoke her mind instead of saying it was fine when it clearly wasn't.
Fr. If she wanted to wear a damn purple dress then she is more than welcome to be a guest and go sit her ass in the seats.
I love that they referred to the device to help girls pee in public as a diva cup and everyone just went with it 😂
🤦♀️
Ok now i really wanna know this magical toy that morgan has bought 14 times 😂
Was listening on spotify and came to RUclips just to see if it was linked
same, so…. MORGAN!!!!! we’re waiting!!!!
Pure romance o cream
Lol same!!! Please update if you find it! I’m guessing it’s a pure romance underwear vibe
For the first story…. Why are you going to a nude beach then get mad if someone partakes in the “nude” part? If they knew they wouldn’t be comfortable with that, they shouldn’t have gone to a nude beach.
If anything, the friends should’ve joined in.
it sounds like they weren't aware it was a nude beach until the girl who got topless saw some people walking around topless?
They didn’t know it was a nude beach
#rolltide
I have a Moissanite ring and band set in platinum and it is stunning! The shape and size were perfect for my finger and we wanted something that was affordable since we were buying a house at the same time. I would totally recommend and it's been years and hasn't changed at all. I keep it cleaned and NO ONE knows the difference.
I've been wearing one of those rubber ones for a while because my weight fluxgates due to a medical issue, like a ring will fit perfectly one day and the next it's a little too tight to wear but the next week it's so loose it'll fall off of me. Hubby knew about it so he got me this pretty necklace with my favorite stone as the pendant. Love my necklace, just a little sad I can't wear a ring consistently.
I agree! My ring is Moissanite in a yellow gold band and it’s stunning. I get compliments all the time and everyone thinks it’s WAY more expensive than it actuallly was. I wouldn’t care at all if people knew it was moissanite (all of my friends and family know) but strangers just assume it’s a big expensive diamond haha
For sure. A ring you love and suits you is much more important than a price tag assigned by Hollywood and Tiffany's
Hi Morgan, there is one thing I always want to get out of my chest whenever you talk about diamonds. It is a really deep, depressing topic but people in my home country Congo are getting killed because of diamonds. There is a movie called "Blood Diamond" about it, but it's deeply heavy and nothing to be watched for entertainment
My brother loves that movie, idk if that's insensitive to say. But he also loves anything involving history if that makes it better
That's such an insanely old movie, I'm not sure what you expect her to do about that 😭
There is also a great book called “blood diamonds” about the experiences the movie was based on. It’s horrific and so sad but I think everyone who is considering diamonds should read it.
@@corablah9809 I don’t think they want her to do anything about it,
they’re just saying the movie is informative but the word “entertaining” is not the best word to describe it
I never got why we still endorse this B.S. They are just lumps of carbon. We have lab diamonds. They are nicer than mined ones. We should just stop mining diamonds there is no excuse besides sheer greed. Every one who buys mined diamonds and says they care about people are hypocrites.
Someone said that being at a nudist beach implies consent and I agree absolutely. However you're not there by yourself, you're there with multiple people. Im all for free titties but 3rd party consent is so important when it comes to closer relationships. If you were alone, by all means do as the Romans do. But these are people I assume you have a level of respect with. I think the topless OP should've at least gave a warning.
I know my husband would be incredibly uncomfortable if my friend was insistent on showing him her tits and rationalizing it because we accidentally walked on a nude beach. It's weird. I hate women like her. It's different if you're being normal, you feel comfortable nude and you're known for being casual about your naked body, but that's not her case lol, she's one of those girls that wants every man in existence to look at her boobs.
That’s also if they knew they were going to a nudist beach, which it doesn’t sound like it did. It sounds like the OP saw a girl with her top off and thought it was fair game.
Not to mention very few people were at the beach in the first place, and all the other topless people were in the distance, so it's not like the friend group was clearly fine with nudity just by being there, which people seem to assume despite all this being mentioned in the story
@@T_Cup THANK U FOR NOTICING THAT the nude beach argument doesnt work cuz you cant force people to be nude in a nude beach either so ofc they thought oh its a beach and empty what others do is none of our business and like op said just two people that too far away it all made sense to me until op does what they did
before starting the episode i just wanna say i got so excited when i opened youtube to see grace and brianna on my fav podcast
Story 7: She can wear purple at her own wedding, not at her friends
I hope Pure Romance is paying Morgan at this point 😂
NTA on the first story! Why would you go to a nude beach if you’re not comfortable with nudity? In Europe nudity is for the person who is nude. Not anyone else. So to take it so offensively, her friends need to check their insecurities and maybe research the area their going before going on vacation. Nudity is extremely normal in lots of areas in Europe.
My opinion on the first one: I do think it was kind of weird for her to take her top off when nobody else did especially in front of everyone’s husbands lol to be honest I’m kind of that person that I would probably take my top off at a nudist beach as well, but if nobody else was doing it I would feel a little awkward and probably put it back on. LMAO. I do think that her friends should’ve just said something to her right on the spot about it. If it was my friend, I would’ve tried to make a joke or some thing and say girl, our men are here put your damn top back on! 😂 and then laughed about it a little bit. I wouldn’t have just acted like everything was fine and then avoided her the rest of the night and then ganged up on her after the whole thing was already over with and she couldn’t even do anything to fix the situation. I know it’s hard but I wish people would just speak up in the moment more, when they can do so.
If they were her friends why did no one say anything until later.
But she went to a nude beach?? They went somewhere where it’s encouraged to be nude and then got mad at her for being nude???
@@mellodees3663I’m thinking they didn’t want to embarrass her in front of literally the whole friend group? Or maybe each one was uncomfortable but thought the others were ok with it until they all talked later
I fell like most of them being married makes it more alright, like u shouldn’t be concerned about ur husband
Their accents make this 10x funnier 😂 their reactions in the coconut story lmao
There accent made this 1000x better I love😂
"With his porka"
The coconut story had me gagging…
I read it a few months ago on Reddit for the first time and I was physically ill and couldn't fall asleep 💀
The engagement ring story turned out so wholesome🥺
Ah, the coconut story. A classic. I'm not caught up to current yet, but i wonder if Morgan will find out what happens if you break both your arms.
If you’re going in order that’s coming up for you soon
I don't know why out of the entire podcast this got me, but when you were talking about Dahmer and she said "I saw it through" it sent me 😭 just the way she said it lmao
Last story, pastel blue, pastel coral, and pastel green were my spring wedding colours. If anyone's interested I can make a THT reddit post with some pictures. They actually paired nicely! :)😊
There is nothing wrong with picking your own ring. If you’re getting engaged, I would hope you would have talked about marriage at that point so an engagement ring isn’t a huge surprise.
I picked my exact ring out without even knowing it. We had looked online and I thought I knew what I wanted. We were on vacation antique shopping and I fell in love with a ring. My now husband called his family we were visiting and had them pick it up for him. His parents met them halfway to get it. I was shocked when I saw it. Also, my ring was less than 2k and he got a deal on it because his aunt was good friends with the owner. It was perfect!
About the last story, the bride should not have to compromise. She’s not being an AH, it’s her WEDDING.
For story #7 purple accents with the pastel green that OP allowed for a bridesmaid color as well would've looked amazing. Green and Purple's frequently look amazing and mesh so well together. She still could've worn some purple accessories. She's childish for not just putting up with it for ONE DAY. She doesn't just get to walk all over OP and disrespect her wedding day just because she's grieving. I didn't go around screaming at people when my mom's heart stopped (she's fine now, but has almost died multiple times and technically has flatlined once with no pulse.) When that happened it felt like the world stopped, but I didn't go around treating my friends like garbage because of it. Just because she's grieving does not mean she gets to ruin other people's day's just because her life isn't going the way she wanted. She doesn't get to set other people on fire to keep herself warm. That's simply not right or fair to OP or her husband in this situation, who have paid for this wedding and deserve to have their special day. If she can't behave for one day and not throw a tantrum for one day, then she should be prepared to lose some friends. Not every single day and every single second of everyone else's lives are going to revolve around her, and it's time she learned that.
I’m never this early! Been going through a really rough breakup and this is the perfect distraction - my favorite podcast posted!!
I love these guests,had me dying with laughter the whole episode 😂
Story 1- NTA. Going to a nude beach , consent is implied. If OP's friends didn't want to see her breasts they should have said something then and there. It sounds like OP's friends were insecure but didn't want to say anything until they all knew that they could get a concensus against OP. At worst, this one is an ESH, but just barely because of the beach rules
Agree - The friends 100% should’ve spoken up. Personally if I was OP though I would’ve quickly asked ‘hey are you’ll cool if I take my top off’ before doing so because they did not plan to go to a nude beach, they stubbled upon it (5:24). So I think there’s the tiniest bit of fault on her for not asking
I would totally agree if they knew it was a nude beach if they didn't then idk I would say yta
@@andresfincher668f op saw the other people that were nude the friends most likely did and chose to not say anything until they could gang up on her. ppl don't go topless for no reason usually so they had to have looked around just like op did and seen it was okay.
@@succubitch1054 yeah the wives definitely needed to speak up. I feel bad that OP didn’t ask, bc if she had and they still didn’t say anything she would be fully NTA
it seems like everyone didn’t necessarily know it was a nude beach, so i wouldn’t say consent was implied in this scenario.
I love these girls, I’m only a few minutes in and I’m cackling 🤣🤣🤣
I am absolutely disgusted and SHOCKED about the coconut story 😭. I literally cannot even fathom why he thought he could keep that coconut there without it even rotting at least!!!
Nooo! Not the coconut story!
I would love it if you did an episode with classic reddit horror stories, like the cum box story or the dude who broke both his arms... 😂
Omg no! I would definitely skip that episode 😂
OMG I immediately knew which one it was and I skipped. I can typically handle poop stories, but that coconut one just makes me squirm.
If they do that, they have to include the rainbow dash jar.
@sierrasebring5144 Thank you lol. I had successfully forgotten that one.
Story 1: The issue here is that all three women should be holding their husbands accountable, not their friend. My question is, why does it matter whose chest is exposed? Whether it’s a friend, a stranger, or anyone else, it’s clear that others were topless as well. Are these women going to ask everyone to cover up? It seems like they were feeling insecure and, instead of addressing it with their husbands, they unfairly took it out on OP. Even if they later realized they were at a nude beach, they should have left if they were that concerned about their husbands looking at other women.
obsessed with the one co-host that isn’t originally from new york but inexplicably has an even HEAVIER brooklyn accent than the one from NY lmfao. they were such fun and funny guests, and i enjoyed hearing their perspectives! WILD stories in today’s episode, what a fun time!
Their accents were so distracting lol I’m from ny and the only people with those thick accents are people 50+ so their’s sounded forced 😂
@@spicymcchickpea953 yeah, but hey, couldn’t say i wouldn’t also speak with that accent if i had a reason to 😂 its very fun
I’m sorry guys. I’ve never had to skip a story but number 4, I actually threw up twice before throwing in the towel & skipping 😅
Oh my gosh imagine if it was a YEAR’S salary. The wedding industry/markup is already insane!!!
Story 1: I'm from europe and I think she's TA, even though it might be a little too strong of a word. I thing she's in the wrong. I'm personally cool with people going topless, I don't care. BUT while it can be normal to go topless depending where you are in europe, it also always depends on the context, and to just do it without making sure that your friends are comfortable with it says that you're not a good friend period. It's one thing to see random people go topless, but it's different if your friend does it and then stays right there next to you without asking if you are comfortable with it. While it's "normal" it's still nudity and you need to make sure that all the people that are with you consent to see you naked, and not because there are men involved, it would be the same for a group of women. People need to learn to be mindful and respectful of other people boundaries, just because you can do something it doesn't mean you should then do it every time everywhere at all cost "just because you can".
i just wanna say since i saw a recent comment that some ppl dont like the collabs, i personally love them! i love seeing new perspectives on the new stories, but i of course love the regular cast, i just dont want morgan to be too let down, since alot of ppl like the fresh faces and opinions :) this is my fav podcast, i tune in no matter whos on as long as morgan is there!
LOVE the podcast, but as an APCC (associate professional clinical counselor/therapist) I finally have to get something off my chest…
Enmeshment is NOT just between mothers and their sons. Whilst that is one example, a more accurate definition of enmeshment is a relationship pattern in which personal boundaries and identities are unclear.
Mothers grooming their sons into thinking no other woman can take her place? Absolutely enmeshment…and enmeshment can look like twins who can’t make personal decisions without the approval of the other, famous couple Bonnie, and Clyde, etc.
Just had to get out that brain itch.
BUT with the vastness of the topic, I would love to see an enmeshment or not episode!
when people say “it definitely feels better for men” i don’t understand how they dont realize that people experience sex differently. like for me, outer stimulation is meh, inner stimulation is fucking mind blowing. for most afab people it’s the opposite.
For story 1: NTA imo. If there was any chance of the group being uncomfortable with nudity, either express that to the group beforehand or just don’t go to a topless beach. Or when OP took her top off, express your discomfort. She would have apologized and fixed it. But as far as I know, OP is not psychic so unless the friends would have expressed this in the past, I see her choice as a “when in Rome” situation especially where there were other topless women on the beach. She wanted the experience. If her friends didn’t, they should have said something earlier instead of acting so hostile. Just my take…
Story 1: Imo OP is clearly in the wrong. It’s not about being prudish or sexualizing anyone, it’s completely situational. If you wouldn’t take your top off in front of your friends’ husbands at a pool party, being on vacation doesn’t make it okay. My feeling is OP knew this and did it anyway without asking because she knew her gfs husbands wouldn’t complain even if they were uncomfortable and her gfs wouldn’t want to seem like buzz kills. Her immediate response of calling her gfs insecure instead of being apologetic or trying to reason with them is a big tell that she’s TA. Plus, everyone else who was topless other than OP were in the distance and the beach was fairly empty, so it’s not like her friends were comfortable with anyone being nude
Story 7: Anna is 100% TA. She saw an opportunity to hijack OP’s wedding as a way to divert all attention to her by being the only one in purple, and when OP “stole” that opportunity from her, she didn’t act like a grieving daughter, she got as loud as possible in a last-ditch effort to refocus all attention to herself. She’s just using her grief as a get out of jail free card for her ridiculous behaviour. Otherwise, she could’ve not attended the wedding at all - she had no problem blocking the OP, so why not just opt out of this one event?

She wanted the experience. If her friends didn’t, they should have said something earlier instead of acting so hostile. Just my take… for story 6: I could totally see this issue being valid if she was relating it if it was the mother of the groom who passed, but like this marriage doesn’t have anything to do with your mom’s passing. I understand loss, but sadly not everything revolves around the loss of your mom. Sad for her grief, but like there is a time a place to honor that loss
The last story omg. The bride is not at fault!!!! Even before she mentioned the thing about paying for therapy and sleeping in her bed - it’s literally her wedding day and she made the colour scheme clear from the start. The friend is trying to make it about her for no reason it’s so disrespectful
Catching up on the last few weeks of THT and I see this was posted 2 min ago?!?! This gloomy Thursday just became so much better!
I was NOT prepared for the coconut...🤣😭🤣
@@meghanpowers359LOL
Holy crap I LOVE these guests this episode. These ladies remind me so much of my New England uncles but funnier.
i did too but it sucks bc Bri and Grace aren’t friends anymore 😭
I have run out of episodes to watch so thank god for this one 😭
Was binging old episodes while at work and so excited for the new episode. The coconut broke me
I had kidney stones at 37 weeks pregnant 😅everyone at the hospital was convinced I was in labor and I was in too much pain to speak but I would manage to get out "NOT. LABOR." 😅😂
24:02 “I’m calling CPS” 😂😂 Bruh I spit out my coffee 😂😂
Morgan you are the best 🥰❤️ telling her to use that cream and you could just tell you REALLY gave af about the fact that she couldn’t get there MORGAN is the MVP of friends guys!
This is the crossover we needed!!! ❤❤
Haha but no, in the 70s they didn't fight for the right to be half naked. Thats not related to having equal rights
37:41 “you can milk that thing!”- “Todays episode is sponsored by PayPal Honey!”
Lmaoooo comedic timing was great
I was brushing my teeth during the coconut story... did not go well, haha.
Literally this is my favorite episode! I was cry laughing in work over the coconut story! Have then on more!!
The ring story: my husband and i got married before we got our rings. When we went ring shopping i told him no rocks, i want a band, i dont want anything normal wedding rings look like. We ended up getting matching one of a kind hand crafted rings from a jewler. Now here is the kick we spent the same amount on our two rings that a buddy of his spent on his wifes one ring. I love my ring so much and i want to wear it. I need this prego hand swelling to come down so that i can wear it
Related to the engagement ring story: my fiancé and I went shopping for my engagement ring together and I was repeatedly told by family, friends, AND jewelers that my taste was “simple” and “plain” because I wanted a band with inset diamonds/stones (I think it’s called an infinity band), and I was always told that I needed to go for these super flashy rings that I thought looked hideous. My fiancé ignored everyone’s opinions, EXCEPT for mine, and now we are engaged and I wear a ring that I love and is more my style rather than a big rock for the sake of having a big rock. Get yourself a man that listens to YOU lol
I wish my bf had taken me too, or even ask my sister but instead he asked his male best friend. My ring is white gold (which I never use), with the stone too high up which is uncomfortable for me specially since it’s too big and he didn’t even ask if we could request a resize 🥲 for my wedding band I choose it myself and I’m planing on wearing it alone after the wedding
Please. PLEASE have these guests again. They are HILARIOUS
These might be my favorite co-hosts you’ve ever had!!! (besides the OGs of course)
Maybe this is my hot take since I hear a lot of "more people should get divorced" on this pod... I disagree. Less people should get married.
Story 5-ish...you do what you need to do at your pace! I am 42 and from a small town so I understand certain timelines. I have been in a monogamous relationship for 20 years, yet we had our wedding ceremony 2 years ago (we joke about being newlyweds). We got engaged at 9 years, ceremony in our backyard at 18 years and our two boys were the ring bearers (5 & 8 yrs old)....it was perfect and on our own time!
the coconut story is so disgusting i’m literally cryibg
I’m listening but I’m blocking it at the same time because I’m eating 😂
I’ve never woken up with a hangover and thought “what a silly goofy mood am I in?”
I almost puked from the coconut stories. Just thinking about it ....,ewfjmkojargojaw
When tops start being taken off, someone has to be the first... So that no one else did isn't really an argument
