What is up, Daddy Gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy. Hello, Daddy Gang. Welcome back to another episode of Call Her Daddy. I have missed you guys. I have been very busy. Aren't we all just fucking busy, right? But I have been very, very on the go, as some people would say. And I hate being on the go. I like to be in my routine. I'm a very routine type type of person. Just in terms of my work, it's so much easier for me to podcast when I'm home. This studio that I'm sitting in is in my house. We've got the lights, we've got the cameras, we've got all of it set up here. So I am back. It is so nice to see you. I have been watching television lately, and I don't know about you guys, but I am such a television girl. Since my childhood, my parents are big movie people, television people. It was a thing growing up that we would all sit down and we would watch some type of television show. I said to my mom the other day, I remember when Scandal came out, and with Kerry Washington, and I remember I went downstairs to my mom and we were popping popcorn, and she was like, What are we going to watch tonight?

And I'm like, Mom, I saw this one thing online, and I think this new show is going to be amazing. It's called Scandal, and we had no idea what we were getting into. And then my mom and I just went along on this journey with Olivia Pope and President Fitts for a very long time. And it was the thing that bonded us. Even though I was being a menace to society, maybe in my social life, Scandal brought us back together. Same thing with Grey's Anatomy. My mom, my sister, and I really bonded over that. And then with sports, my dad, I would sit with him and watch sports. So I guess football season is back. We're all happy that sports are I was cooking dinner the other night, and it was the Kansas City Chiefs playing some other fucking team. I don't know what team. And is that literally every girl right now in the world? Like, Oh, Taylor Swift was playing. I mean, sorry, Travis Kelsey was playing. And then it's like, I don't know who they were fucking playing, regardless. The Chiefs were playing, and I was cooking dinner, you guys. It is like, who is she?

I know. It's rare that I ever cook, but recently I've been doing a really, really good recipe. I've been making Matt and I these tacos with this turkey meat, and it's pretty phenomenal. So I'm cooking Matt dinner like the trad wife I am, a sexy little trad wife cooking up her taco meat. And then Matt is watching the game in the kitchen. And I tell Matt, every single time that Taylor Swift comes on the TV, you have to tell me so I can turn around from the stove and I can see her. And it's It's just so incredible. Honestly, I like football. I grew up watching football. I was a big Eagles fan growing up. Then I went to college in Boston, and I became a big Patriots fan. Yeah, I have no fucking loyalty. I know that was a big point of contention of whenever I wear a sports shirt on this show, and people are like, Is that a Pittsburgh shirt? I remember I wore one for... It was when I interviewed the chain smokers, and everyone was like, Live it. They were like, Pittsburgh, Alex. You're from fucking Philly. And I was like, first of all, this is a vintage, random hoodie that I sourced and found, and it's cute, and it's comfortable.

I don't give a fuck what it says. And second of all, I don't have loyalty to these sports teams because I don't really care. I don't know if that's going to really upset some people, but I go with what is entertaining me, right? So in college, I was very entertained for multiple reasons by the New England Patriots, okay? We had Tom braided. We had other athletes that I was having entanglements with, and it was fun, and they were the best, and we just kept winning, and it was fun. So I switched. I was a fucking homie hopper. I switched from the Eagles. I went to the fucking Patriots, and now I watch the Chiefs. It's the only fucking team I really watch. Sometimes I pop in, though, when the Eagles are doing well, when the Eagles are sucking. I'm a fair-weathered fan. I don't really care when it comes to... I just want to follow who's doing well or who's interesting. I remember when Carrie Underwood was dating Tony Romo on the Cowboys. I was a fan of the Cowboys. Loved it. Couldn't get enough. Was a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader that year for fucking Halloween.

I don't care. I don't care. I just want to be entertained. A little bit of pop culture mixed with sports. I'm happy. But yeah, overall, everything else is going well. I'm going on tour. Oh, yes. I'm going on tour. So I went on my first live tour last fall, and it was one of truly the most incredible experiences of my life. It is an odd thing with podcasting, where I sit here in my house and I'm going to press upload to this episode, and then I go have a bagel, and I sit down, and it's like nothing ever happened. But live and tour was one of the most incredible experiences because I got to interact with all of you in a way that I've never done before. And that's why I am enjoying these live events with Unwell. It's been so incredible to get to hang out with you guys and meet you guys. And so now I'm going back on tour on the West Coast. We did the East Coast last year. Now we're doing West Coast tour. So we're going Denver, Austin, Dallas, Phoenix, San Diego, Oakland, Los Angeles. I hope I didn't forget a city.

I think that's it. And I'm just so excited because I love creating these fun live experiences for you guys. And I definitely am doing different things in the live show that it's making me work on different parts of my career. I don't know if that makes any more sense, but being live is intimidating, and I get so nervous before I go out on stage, and then I lightly black out. And then the minute you guys are all screaming and hyping me up, I'm like, Okay, I'm safe. I'm with Daddy Gang. Everything is going to be okay. But truly being in person with you guys has just made me even more grateful for this job that you guys have all granted me the opportunity to have. And it's not lost on me that I literally would have none of this if it wasn't for you guys. So getting to do these moments with you just feels really, really fulfilling. And if you haven't, I think there are tickets left. So go get your fucking tickets. It's going to be a time. Okay, so today I have been wanting to, for a very long time, go through your questions because I have a document pulled up on my computer of just so many questions that you guys have had for me that I wanted to properly sit down and talk through because a lot is going on in your lives, right?

So let me go grab my computer and then let us begin. Questions of the motherfucking week, bitch. One second. Sometimes when I wear sunglasses in these episodes, it really just... I feel like I'm activating my freak, and I'm going to be able to just give you maybe some better insight if I'm really feeling, I don't know, weirder. Matt's golfing right now, and it's 110 degrees outside. Please tell me the dedication that men have to golf. I don't want to say anything too crazy, but I have been thinking about getting into golf. And when I say getting into golf, I more just mean, I don't know, in the future. When I'm 50, I feel like I want to get into golf. So we've got a couple of decades to go, obviously. But it's just something that's been in the back of my mind, because I feel like as I get older, there's only so much that Matt and I are going to be able to do. The kids are out of the house. I haven't even had a fucking kid yet, but I'm thinking about the long term effect. Kids are out of the house. I don't want to just become an alcoholic and just every day be pacing around waiting for five o'clock.

And so I'm just thinking to myself, what is something that Matt and I can do that we obviously We will continue to watch television shows together. But that only goes so far. And when you get older, you want to be active, baby. I want to keep those knees from creaking. I want to keep those hips from having to get a hip replacement. And I want to make sure I'm out there looking cute in my outfits. So, yeah, I don't know. I've thought about starting golf in a couple of decades. But if you guys want to join me, I'll let you guys know when I do decide to start that journey. But again, we have time, so don't go getting your golf clubs without me. Just know it's coming. Okay, let's start doing questions of the fucking week because, bitch, we got a lot going on right now. Life is fucking tough, and life is a roller coaster. And some of you are at the top of the fucking roller coaster, and some of you are stuck upside down on the roller coaster. It's always nice to be on the top, but most of the time we're all upside down.

So let's get you guys to the top. What the fuck am I saying? I told you the glasses, they ignite something. Okay, here we go. First question from the Daddy Gang. I can't fucking see with these things. What am I even fucking doing? Let's try this again. Okay. I want to break up with my boyfriend, but I don't know how to. I really enjoy time with him and everything, but I just feel it in my gut. It's not the right person. I want him to find his person and me to be single for a while, but I have never really been single. I jump from relationship to relationship and only felt able to end one when I already had someone else to focus on. I now really want to break this pattern and finally be there for myself. I just need that last kick in the ass and a little help in how to break up with someone and going through the whole breakup. Oh, my God. I mean, I could do a whole episode on how to break with someone. But I think my first bit of advice would be, there's no reason to ever stay in something longer than you have to, not just for you selfishly, but also for the other person.

Imagine if your boyfriend was aware that you were just so not into it anymore, I feel like you are on the right track. Like, yes, you do need to end this. I do think when it comes to breaking up with someone, we overthink it because is you're a good person. You don't want to hurt this person's feelings. And I think a lot of times when you're breaking up with someone, you can sometimes feel so awful because a lot of the times you do love the person. This doesn't mean that you're not... You don't love your boyfriend, but you're not currently in love with this person. And so you have a lot of love for this person. So it makes it so hard to what you think is going to happen is break their heart. And that may be the case. But what's more heartbreaking is if you stay in something and You fake it for what? Not for him and not for you. No one would be happy if you knew you were faking it, right? So I think the best case is this that I always tell my friends. When almost like how you used to have the next thing lined up of who you were going to go to in a relationship, I think you have to have that in some capacity, but not with another man, but with your situation.

So before you completely break up with your boyfriend, I don't know your circumstances, maybe you live together, maybe you, I don't know, have a bunch of his shit at your house, whatever it is, I I think you always have to plan how the minute you end something, be able to cut the cord, because there is nothing worse than when you try to end something with someone, and it lingers because of logistics, or because you weren't firm enough, or because you're like, Oh, we live together, so I'm breaking up, but now I have to go on Zillow and now find a new apartment. You have to get all your ducks in a row before you make that decision with this person, because it's going to make it so much easier on both of you to have a clean cut. So let's say you living together. I would say, talk to one of your trusted friends or your family. And obviously, unless you can get an apartment right away, but if you are on the same lease with this person, there's so much drama that goes into that. But know where you're going to go, know where you're going to live before you make this decision.

So that when you are doing this and you're breaking this person's heart and they're like, well, can we have another conversation? Obviously, we live together. You'd be like, so I am moving out and I have a place lined up right now to go stay with Bethany or whoever the fuck you're going to go stay with. Line up your logistics so that the only thing you're focusing on is the conversation of the relationship ending and nothing else has to fucking linger. Because what I do find with my friends and with myself in the past is There are times where it's so fucking hard to break up with someone. And the worst is when you almost get to the point where they're letting it go. But then it's like, oh, but now we need to deal with all of this other shit. So then you keep talking and then it makes it either harder or they try to get back with you. And then you feel so bad that you ended up not keeping your backbone, and you just fold, and you stay with the person longer. I've seen it so many fucking times. So how now do you have the conversation?

So once I think you've lined up all of these dynamics of where you're going to live, what you're going to do, getting all the things prepared, I would say you one day sit this person down, whether it's on a Sunday or a Saturday. I would recommend maybe doing it on a weekend where maybe you had planned to have dinner in together or something, just because, again, the level of breakup is always going to be different depending on the person. But I just know if you are the one getting broken up with, it would be nice to have a reset day before you have to go in to work on a Monday. So let's say it's a Saturday night, and you had asked your boyfriend, Okay, let's do a night in. I'm going to order us some takeout. I think you sit them down and you say, Hey, there has been something that has been weighing on me, and I have been thinking a lot about it, and And this isn't just a rash decision. This has been this building feeling that for a while, I couldn't really pinpoint and explain it. So this is why I didn't bring it up.

But I I feel so awful saying this, and it truly breaks my heart because I love you, and there is nothing blatantly going wrong in this relationship, but I don't feel completely fulfilled and happy. And I feel like we have gotten to the point in our relationship where we have done everything we could to make each other happy. You've been so incredible to me. I am happy when I'm with I know our connection has been amazing, but I do feel like I'm getting to that point, where I am starting to think about my future, and I am starting to think about long term, and I don't feel that we are compatibility-wise, the fit for me long term. And it makes me want to cry and throw up at the same time and saying that to you, because I know this would be easy easier if I was saying, This is the thing that you did wrong. You did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong. We literally have given this our all. But I just don't know if you're my person. And that is really painful to admit, but it's the truth. And so I have lined up, I'm going to go stay with my friends, and I'll make sure I get all the stuff out of the apartment.

Again, I'm literally talking about logistics, but I'm going to go stay with Casey, and I'm really, really sorry. And I, of course, want to hear your thoughts, but this is a decision that I have been suppressing, but I have made up my mind, and I feel so awful. But I also don't want to waste any more of your time. I love you, and I want you to find your person, and I want you to be happy. And I know this is probably coming as a shock, I love you, and I'm really sorry, and I'll always care for you, but this is not right for me. And I can't stay in something that I don't feel completely happy in. I think the word compatibility is always the way to go when you're breaking up with someone that didn't cheat, that hasn't been malicious towards you. Obviously, when you're sitting someone down to break up with someone, and there is a literal problem in your relationship, relationship that you can be like, I have been trying to get through it. I know I said I would get over you cheating, but I have now spent enough time where I literally can't get past it.

It just isn't going to happen. Headphone is literally ripping out my hair. So yes, I think the answer is it's always easier, not emotionally, but it's easier logistically when someone does something to be so hurtful to you. It's, of course, easier to end that relationship because you have this concrete example of why XYZ needs to happen, right? And that's the thing that's weird about friendships versus romantic relationships or even jobs, right? It's like when you're in a friendship, if everyone is acting, loving, and amazing, and you're happy, and you love the person, there's never a reason to end the relationship. You know what I mean? Why are you ending a friendship where you are happy, and you love them? And of course, every friend has their wrongdoings. But it's like, you're never ending a relationship because you're not the right one. I don't think you've done nothing wrong, but you're just not the right one. That never happens. So specifically for romantic relationships, that is what's so weird about those dynamics is this person can be doing every fucking thing right. They can be so incredible, and you can literally love the person, but they may not be your person.

Because in romantic relationships, we need certain things filled up in our cup that sometimes you can't even explain it. Sometimes it's a feeling, sometimes And they're not doing anything wrong. And that's so different than relationships with friends. You're like, why would I ever end a friendship with someone that's literally the best and makes me happy and I love them? Well, that happens in romantic relationships. And sometimes there's literally no reasoning. But when you tell someone that compatibility-wise, it just doesn't feel like it's a fit, what the fuck is someone going to say to that? If you are telling someone, I don't feel like we are compatible, they're going to be like, No, we are. And then you're like, In your eyes, but in my eyes, we're not. And again, you can use the compatibility thing if you think that the person is literally going to make it impossible for you to move on. I've had friends that are literally like, What the fuck am I supposed to do? And I think the compatibility is a good thing, or I just think the you're not my person. I don't think this is it. I know this isn't it for me.

Don't say, I don't think. Sorry. Rewind. You are not my person. It doesn't mean I don't love you. It doesn't mean that our relationship has meant nothing to me, but you are not my person. If someone tells you that you are not their person and they still want to be with you, that's the person holding on because they have something going on that they're basically not listening to you. If someone said to me, You're not my person, I don't think there's a bigger insult. Not in the way that I can be mad at them. It's literally just like, not an insult. It's more just There's literally nowhere to go. Don't open your mouth and try to fight for the relationship. Don't try to fucking say, They're literally telling you you are not the love of their life. They are telling you that they do not see you as long term. And they are telling... It's one thing if they're like, it's really frustrating to me because even if it was something about your job or your humor that you're imposing on them at times that's annoying them, no, this is literally just like, you're literally not my person.

And as hard as that is to hear, if you're the on the receiving end, that is a very definitive, done answer. There's no coming back from that. So every single dynamic and breakup is different. And I wish I could sit with you on this couch and ask you more questions, because obviously, the way that I would break up and help you break up with this person is going to be indicative of a lot of different factors in your relationship. Have you guys been dating since you were 16 years old? Did you meet in college? Have you only been dating for a year? The point is, is have your logistics set up, have your go to, whether it's the compatibility or you're not my person, or whatever feels right for you. That is basically like they can't argue it. And you have to be super strong. And my other point of advice is when you're doing this. You need to have someone in your life that is downstairs when you do it. That is my personal opinion. When you do this, have someone in the car, whether it's your friend, your mom, your dad, your sister, your brother, your whoever the fuck, your support system, and have them waiting downstairs.

Because when you do it, what I've learned from myself and my friends is breakups can go on for so fucking long to the point that you're literally like, We are going in circles. And understandably, that person is blindsided, probably. So they're trying to get this closure in the moment from you, and you've been thinking about this for so fucking long. So you have to give them some grace of conversation. But what you could also do, which I actually think is totally fair, is tell them, I'm going to go. I know that this is a lot, and I just put this on you, and you didn't know this was happening. And so I want to give you time to process it. And I love you. And I want you to know, I'm here if you want to have one more follow-up conversation of any questions you have, because I acknowledge, I had this information. I'm giving it to you. You haven't had a chance to really digest it and to sit it. And so if you want, I'm down to have more of a closure conversation for you. That's if you don't get all of that in the first conversation of the breakup.

And sometimes people, if this was a six-year relationship, you're probably going to need to have another conversation. What I would tell you to avoid, though, is the two hour long breakup. You're going to go in circles. You're going to literally just be spinning out and continue to talk about the same thing over and over. And that's why I think it's the best decision to have a friend downstairs waiting for you so you can say, my mom is downstairs. She's going to bring me home. And I know you probably are going to have more questions, but I do think I need to go because I don't want us to also just keep spinning in circles. And I also want to give you some alone time and me some alone time because I know this is a very emotional situation. So overall, I'm really sorry, though, because breakups are so fucking horrible and awful, and there's no right way to do them. I just think there's a sweet spot of the shortness period and how long and short it goes. And then also there's those things that you can say that leaves them, there's nothing really to say back.

But I'm really sorry, and I hope you're okay. And that's the other thing that I will just say to you guys is, if you think that you are not with the right person, you need to end the relationship. We're all too fucking young to be in a situation where we have doubts, and we're all too young to be like, But maybe it will get better. It's not going to get better. It's not going to get better. It only gets worse as time goes on. Any problem that you're having, it only gets worse. And so I think when you have that doubt in your brain where you're like, Is this my person? The answer is no. The answer is no. Of course, there's moments where it's big, Oh, my God, are we going to get married? And, Oh, my gosh, am I sure this is my person? Of course, there's natural pauses that you have to assess your fucking life. I'm not saying that. If you have had this little lingering voice in the back of your head or that gut feeling of like, I love them so much, but the but is bigger than you love them so much.

It always is, because the but is... We can love so many people in our fucking lifetime. I truly believe that. I have believe, I have loved many people before Matt. But I feel like there's the immediate pain of ending a relationship and the fear of being single for one year, two year, five years even. Those small years of being single and fearing, Will I ever find someone again? You will. You will find someone again. And I would rather restart and get single and have to go through those single periods of a couple of years, figuring out who's what you want and who is the next person, than spending 70 plus years with someone and being fucking miserable. Again, I know it's very scary for women because it's like, we have our clock And everyone's telling us we have to find our person. And oh, my God, hurry up. But it's also like, pause for a fucking second. There is no need to stay with someone just because you're afraid of starting over. If that is the only reason you're staying with someone, then you need to end the relationship immediately. Because I'm telling you. I've seen my friends do it.

I've had it happen where it's like, oh, my God, you think you're never going to find someone? And then most of the time when that happens, you literally find the person in a couple months, and you're like, oh, fuck. So we're so clouded by the fear of moving on that we stay. If you have any fucking doubts in your gut and in your head that keep creeping up, they're not the right person because I'm telling you, you will know when you found the right person. There will always be problems in every relationship. You will always have these little things that you're like, oh, that is upsetting me. But the core of, I don't know if this is my person that I want to be with long term, then you have your answer. That is not your person. So any girl listening right now or any woman listening right now, whoever is listening, just please trust your gut. If you have any fucking doubts, you have your answer. Oh, this is like a vibe shift. Does anyone actually eat ass? I'm talking about getting all up in someone's butt hole. We had a poll between all of our friends, and 60 % of them said they have either eaten ass or received it.

I don't believe them. Believe them. Yeah, it's a thing, sweetie. We're eating ass good these days. No. Yes, there is a lot of... I remember the first time I got my ass eaten, and I was like, What the fuck is happening? I don't personally love it, but I have had guys that loved it. I remember the first guy that asked me to do that. I was also obsessed with him. So I would have literally eaten his shit. That's fucking disgusting. And I actually wouldn't have done that. But the concept of giving a blowjob and then going a little downtown and giving him a little. Yeah, that's not foreign. That's happening. That's in real-time. Some Someone, as I'm saying this, and I'm making this podcast, someone right now is eating ass in the world. They may not be loving it, but they're doing it. It's happening, sister. Either get on board or you don't need to get on board. But if you want to get on board, get on board. Get I'm bored. Some people fucking love it. And then some people are like, literally get away from my asshole. Oh, my God. Speaking of assholes, what is going on with the Daddy Gang this week?

Okay, ready? Here's a story time. So I work in real estate. One morning, I was early for a showing to make sure all looked good. I just had some coffee, so I went to use the bathroom to go number two. I tried to flush and realized the toilet was broken and the water wasn't on. I was like, Fuck, some people are coming in a minute, and I hope it doesn't smell like shit. So I closed the toilet and hoped for the best. The property sat vacant for a month until that person moved in. My boss and I got a text in our group chat, a picture of a hardened shit, and said, This needs to be fixed immediately from the new homeowner. This was on Christmas Eve, and the repair cost to get a handyman over was double the normal. The owner of that unit, our client, was demanding to know what happened and who used the bathroom. Do I fess up? Bitch, absolutely fucking not. No, no, no, no. You don't have to be like, Hey, just coming in to take a little accountability here. You never What are they going to do? Fucking fecal test that shit and test whose it was?

No, no. You don't need to fess up on who shit in the toilet. You got to play it cool. You got to play it safe. You got to play it just... You got to play it mortified. My God, I can't imagine. Maybe it was someone that was like, we were showing the house to, laid it down, laid the pipes down, let it all loose and free. My God, thank God it's hardened. That one's going to be easier to pick up. We're on it. We got you. We're going to get it out. It's a classic white lie. I don't believe in lying in a way that's really going to fuck some shit up. Have I done it in the past? Yeah, I guess when I was younger, but lying is fucking stupid. What's not stupid is a white little fucking lie that's going to uphold your dignity, that's going to allow you to have some fucking source of respect at your real estate You don't need to fucking put yourself under the bus here, sweetie. You just keep driving the bus and let everyone wonder who shit their brains out that day. You know it was you, but they don't need to, okay?

Keep that shit to yourself, sweetie. Literally. Oh, God. Okay. I'm scared. Here's another story. This story, I was reading this when I was picking this, and it gives me like, I have anxiety for you. My husband and I got married six months ago. We're currently renting and would like to buy a house. So a few months ago, I picked up a second job bartending at a local place that I used to work a few years ago. It was my first night back getting into the groove of things, and and I didn't think anything of it. And then all of a sudden this guy that I used to hook up with prior to meeting my husband, walks in with one of his buddies. I completely forgot that he existed in the world, but my stomach was in constant knots. I played it casual and grabbed them a few beers They stayed until the bar closed and got pretty hammered. We were locking up and he asked if I could give him a ride home. I told him, yes, but if you tried anything, I would kick him out of the car and make him walk the rest of the way home.

He agreed with my terms and we were on our way. The whole to his house, he was telling me about how much he missed me working there, and he was so happy to see me. I dropped him off and went on my way. Fast forward to present time. He comes to see me almost every weekend when I work. I always give him a ride home, and we have now hooked up twice and talk every day. I just can't keep my hands off this man. My husband knows nothing. We just have this undeniable connection, not even just sexual. I can feel myself slowly dissociating from my husband, and I don't even feel bad. Is six months too soon And for a divorce? Kim K has had shorter marriages, so this isn't even that bad, right? What the fuck? This is bad. This is really bad. There's multiple reasons that this is bad. This literally sounds like a fucking smut novel that someone would write for a book. Listen, this is in my life, so I'm not here to judge you, and you're writing in and you're asking for advice, and this is my advice. I understand that you had an on and off again fling with this guy, but it seems like you have an entire relationship with your husband prior to getting married, and you're getting married, and you're not saying you were even thinking about this man, nor was he thinking about you.

He was never reaching out. So this, to me, is a complete lust temptation thing. Even though you're saying there's more of a connection than you having a sexual connection, the temptation of you have this separate job, and you've almost created a second life, which is It's really, really concerning. I feel like it's when people cheat online, and it doesn't even count. They're almost able to close their phone and then reenter reality. And I think that's been a huge problem with a lot of couples is online cheating. I think this is almost like a workplace relationship type of cheating situation, too. It's like, your husband is never coming into your job. Your work at the bar is your own fucking thing. And so it almost is creating this alternate universe that you are participating in, and you're not even feeling guilty because it's so estranged from your own life, that it's a person from your past. It's a place you used to work. You're almost regressing to that time in your life. And I never, ever, ever think that cheating when you're married is acceptable. If Matt cheated on me, I would leave him immediately. I don't personally...

I couldn't do it. And I get everyone is different, so I want to be clear. I know there are so many people that have stayed in relationships when they're married with infidelity and everything. But I just could never. It's just something that in my body, I know I would never be able to get rid of it. I know I would turn into the worst version of myself. I know that I would feel so insecure. I would be paranoid. I would want to be checking his phone, and I don't want to be that version of myself. And so when the trust is broken, the trust is broken. And that's, again, that's me. I don't want anyone to feel judged. I think I completely see the other side, and I have friends that have stayed, and I have supported them. It really, really comes down to your individual ability to move past something. With that said, what you're currently doing is you not having any remorse? I'm worried that, are you going to now marry this man? You know what I mean? He never reached out. You weren't reaching out. This man was not even a thought in your brain.

And all of a sudden, you start this job that you used to have, and it's bringing back all these old memories. But what I can say is, aside from this man, because this isn't about the man that you're cheating with, he honestly has fuck all to do with it. The fact that you agreed to put this person in your car, he got there with his buddy. You know what I mean? They can get a fucking Uber, they can get a fucking taxi. How do they get to the bar? And how do they plan on getting home from the bar? You know what I mean? He clearly was using that as an excuse to just get you to drive him home. How did his buddy get home? So the fact that you put this man in your car and you drove him home, you knew what you were doing. I worry that that's more just telling to maybe you are really not happy in your romantic relationship with your husband and your marriage. And that's okay. But I don't think it's okay to just start falling into this new thing without giving your husband a chance.

This is someone that just got married six months ago. And I don't know what's going on at home. But if you're also acting like nothing is wrong at home, This is going to ruin this man's fucking trust for the rest of his life. Six months into the marriage, and you're cheating on him with a past person, and you're not even fucking remorseful about it. If he finds out, this man is going to be fucking broken. And I think when I was younger, when I thought about cheating, I think the stakes are lower. I'm not saying cheating is okay, but when I would see my friends cheating or even when I look back, if I got cheated on, It fucked me up for sure. But as you get older and you get closer to genuine, actually looking for monogamy, if that's something you're looking for, getting cheated on in high school is absolutely going to be traumatizing in the moment. But you are not getting married to this person. You probably don't have a child with this person. The stakes are much lower. But as you get to the point in your life where you are looking at marriage and you are thinking about kids and all those things, it is so much heavier, in my opinion.

Again, people can disagree. But I think people in college even are like, cheating on each other. And it's like, Oh, I fucked Jessica in the sorority, and the girl's crying, and she's like, Fuck you. And then she goes and fucks his frat brother. And it's like, it's all very messy because no one is actually like, I'm going to marry you in college. For sure, you could stay with your college person and then you get married. But in the moment in college, no one's getting fucking married in college. So it's a little like, whatever. Again, not saying is okay then, but you know what I'm saying. The stakes are just lower. And so now you are adults. You are talking about you got this job because you were planning on buying a house with this person. So which is it? Are you genuinely looking to start a life with this person, post getting married and build a life with this person? Or are you out? Listen, I love you. And the way that this is written, I know I don't ever have all the context. Maybe your husband hasn't been having sex with you or looking at you since you got married.

I don't know. You didn't write that here, but I don't know. I just think living a life based on a lie is going to eat you alive, and it's going to come back to bite you in the ass at some point. And whether he finds out and he leaves you, and then this guy actually It was actually, it was just hot for a minute that we found each other again. But I actually am out and I have a girlfriend now. I just want you to take care of yourself and the people around you to know that your actions will have consequences. And I think you just have pause and think for a minute, what do you actually want? If you want out of this marriage, get out of the marriage. As upsetting as that is, that it's only been a six months marriage, yes, you can end your fucking marriage. It's okay. But I think you have to try to discern, are you unhappy in that marriage? Was this random affair or something that was just out of insecurity or lust or temptation? First, you need to figure out what you want and why you made this decision.

And then I think you need to act accordingly and make decision because you can't keep going at this rate because you're fucking with someone's life right now. Your husband is sitting at home in love with you, thinking that you guys, you're at your job, trying to get more money so that you guys can get a house. This poor man is probably fucking packing you a lunch or a dinner when you're going to your job being like, I love you, sweetie. Thank you so much for taking on this fucking second job. Like, little does he know it's become a second fucking relationship that you have. I'm sorry. It's just... That's a really complicated situation. But my also advice would be before you guys, if you are thinking of children, before you think of children, or if you're not thinking of children, before you get this house, don't buy the fucking house while you're having an affair. You need to stop it at some point because I believe, and again, I don't know you, but I believe you're probably a good person, and this is a situation you got yourself into, and it's thrilling, and it's exciting, and it's all the things.

But you're also like, forgetting that the person you fell in love with and married is going to be heartbroken. So I'm sorry. That was dark. We went from eating ass to this. I'm like, whoa. Okay. So I'm 23 and I'm a virgin, not because of any religious beliefs or anything. It just hasn't happened. I've struggled with my weight a lot, and my inner voice always tells me I'm too fat for anyone to think I'm hot, but I'm a very sexual person. I think about sex a lot. I started masturbating at 11, but I haven't done anything with another person. Recently, I've started to get more attention from guys that I actually think are hot. My looks haven't changed, though, but I don't really know how to handle the attention. This is so weird for me that guys are just randomly texting after we hung out in a group setting and for guys to actively seek me out in a group with other girls. So I guess my question is, how do I handle this? Where do we go from here? Because I want it to go further. I just don't know how. First of all, I just want to say, you are so deserving of happiness, and I completely empathize and understand we all have our own insecurities that can keep us from living the life we want to live, whether it's like, you don't go to the party because you're feeling insecure about, whether it's your weight, or your skin, or your friendship standings, whatever it is.

We've all been there where you're prohibiting yourself from actually thriving and enjoying because you're so in your head about something. And I also want to clarify, it may also not be just fully in your head. You may have had people say things to you and make you feel more insecure. And so you've been shut down, and you feel awful about yourself in moments. And it's hard to put yourself out there and act confident, especially on something that privately you actually enjoy and you want to do. But publicly, you're like, I don't know if I can connect with the guy on this level because is he going to judge me or is he going to be focused on my weight when we're having sex? That's all fucking normal. And I think so many fucking women, not even so many women, every fucking woman goes through it at some point in their life when you're having sex and you're feeling insecure and you're like, Oh, my God, Is he looking at this or that? No. If he's in the room with you and he's courting you and he's interested, he's interested, babe. And you got to just fucking embrace that.

And I know that's hard. I think my advice to you would be this. Being a sexual person and the fact that you have been masturbating since you were young, that is incredible. You are in tune with your sexuality, and that is a great step. There are a lot of women that have never touched themselves or have never self-masturbated, right? And so I think the fact that you are wanting this and knowing you want this, now you just have to put yourself out there. And it's fucking terrifying. And I know you're going to be in your head. I think you just have to find a way to recognize that half of the reason that we are insecure in these moments is because we're being too fucking hard on ourselves, and no one else is thinking the things that we're thinking about ourselves, right? And so if you are getting this incredible fun, exciting attention from a guy, go Go for it. Go for it. And if anyone ever fucking makes you feel bad about yourself when you do go for it, whether it's the guy or people public, whatever it is, they're fucking shitty people, point blank.

And that's not on you. You know what I mean? I feel like as we get older, it's like, I don't have time to judge people or be like, catty or mean or whatever. It's like everyone's doing their fucking best. And so you have to just try to find it within yourself. You want something, go fucking get it, bitch. Go have sex, go enjoy yourself. And if a man ever makes you feel insecure while that's happening, fuck him and his little fucking dick, okay? He doesn't fucking deserve you. You are fucking hotter than you ever fucking could imagine. You just have to start to believe that. You have to look at yourself in the mirror and start to be like, I am that fucking bitch. And when you're masturbating and you're feeling fucking good, channel that fucking energy when you're having sex for the first time, okay? You are embracing your sexuality when you're alone. Do it in front of someone else, and I bet you're going to feel so fucking empowered. But what I do want to prep you for, like I'm saying, is so many women can relate to this. There are many times I have had experiences with men that they did not show up and treat me the way that I expected them to.

We cannot control what other people are going to treat us like, but you can control how you let it make you feel, and how sad if a man makes you feel insecure about your weight or your when you're having sex. And if that happens, shame on that fucking person. That's a fucking shitty ass person. And guess what? You're not. So don't own any fucking behavior that is someone putting you down because that's their own fucking shit that they need to handle. I'm not saying it's not going to make you feel bad, but at some point, you're going to have to just take control of your life and be like, You know what? I am that fucking bitch. I fucking want to have sex. I want to enjoy myself. I've got one fucking life. I want to do it, and I want to get down, and I want to get dirty, bitch. And I'm going to do it. And when little bitch boys make you feel insecure, he's a little fucking bitch, and you're not. That has nothing to do with you. So own that shit, bitch. And to every woman listening, we all have our own fucking shit that prohibits us from leaning in and enjoying certain things.

Who gives a fuck? Again, I know it's not easy, but we got to just start to be like, I literally don't care what you think about me. I don't care if you're going to call me ugly or fat or X or Y or Z. Fuck you. Fuck you. How do you have time to critique me in my life? How do you have time? We're all just doing our fucking best. So, bitch, get after it. Write me in. I want to know when you lose your virginity, I'm excited for you, and I'm proud of you. And I'm really sorry that you've had that experience of feeling suppressed. But I promise you, once you open the door, it's only going to get better. And the first time may be fucking shit. I'm going to be real. Don't have the craziest, highest expectations. You'll probably prefer masturbating to sex for maybe a minute. And then once you find the right person or you find the right physical connection, it's going to be fucking amazing. I'm really happy for you, though. Hey, Daddy. Obviously love the pod and you. I got married in May. Yay. Congrats, right? Little did I know.

Wrong. I'm 30, so usually I'm not the one going through phones. But one night after a couple of bourbons and my husband falling asleep, I found myself wondering if he had anything to hide and me to worry about. Mind you, if you asked anyone before, he worshiped the ground I walked on. Well, as I dove into his phone, I found he was messaging an X for a year. Dirty pictures exchanged, but that's not what really hurt. I found he was saying, I love you to her, trying to fly her out while on my bachelorette, oh my God, we live in a different state, and on the wedding day, sending her pictures in his suit. I called him out, and he owned up to it, and I stayed since we're newly married, and told him if I ever find anything again, I'd be gone. Question, did I go too easy? We've been through a lot. He beat cancer, and when he went into remission is around the time he started messaging his ex. I understand the insecurity and need for reassurance after that, but I went through it, too. What do I do? I'm so fucking sorry.

Like, first and foremost, I'm so sorry. I can't imagine. It's two-pronged. It's number one, the fact that he's cheating in general, and you're finding all of this, and it's the worst fucking feeling when you have that gut feeling and you're like, Okay, I'm going to go through the phone, and I'm really hoping that I don't find something. But how much worse to know that the cheating was transpiring while you were getting married all the way down to the day of your wedding, and he's sending a picture in his suit. That is a fucked up person. I don't care if he's beat cancer or whatever the fuck. I'm sorry. And We'll get to the cancer thing in a minute. But that is not an excuse for betraying you on one of the most important days of your relationship. The day that you are committing to each other, the day that you are vowing that you will be there for each other in sickness and health, as you already proved you would do, the day that you talk about your loyalty and your love for each other. And this man is sending this fucking girl a picture in his fucking suit.

In what world is this man living on? That is a seriously fucked in the head person. And I'm sorry. Now, let me backtrack because I recognize this as your husband. And I said this earlier, everyone is going to be different when it comes to cheating. But what I do think, even if you're going to stay, is there needs to be some serious, serious, serious conversations. You can't just say, I'll never do it again and never do it again. We need to almost go through a 10-step fucking program to ensure that this is never going to happen again, and that you actually show that you're remorseful, and how did this happen, and why did this happen, and how are we going to move forward, and how are we going to rebuild trust? When someone cheats, I feel like there is a lot of difficulty around the person that cheated feels feels like if we're going to stay in this relationship, you have to let it go because I can't keep living in this, I'm under a microscope every five seconds, and you never trust me. I get that, but it is also on them to make sure that you feel 100 % confident in this relationship, or you at least get to that at some capacity.

And so it's on them to put in so much fucking work to build back that trust. And I feel like a lot of times with cheating in relationships, once they say, I'm sorry, and there's the blowout fight, and there's the crying, and there's the screaming, then it is just over. And there's some follow-up conversations, or there's not follow-up conversations. There's just breakout fights when it's like, Well, you didn't text me, and I was getting worried. And obviously, you've cheated on me. So I was getting fucking paranoid that you were doing it again. And he's like, I was just out with the boys. I wasn't fucking cheating. You're so fucking crazy. I told you I'm never going to do that again. There's this animosity that starts to build, and I don't want that for you. So number one, I think you did go too easy. Again, you only shared a brief recap of how you handled it. But I just think that there's something wrong with this person, which leads me to think that he may be I'm not a fucking therapist, so I don't want to diagnose here. But my brain goes to, and again, please don't take my word for this, but something with him is mental health going on, maybe.

And maybe It is because of the cancer that he was going through. But to be able to check out and to dissociate and to... Because a lot of times I feel like, and again, I'm saying this, and I could be wrong, but I choose to believe that a lot of times when people cheat, they're not these awful bad people. Again, there are those type of men or women that are so narcissistic and sociopathic that it's like they're getting off on going behind their partners back and making these decisions. But I do feel like that's a two out of 10 scenario, right? A lot of times when people cheat, it is this deep-seated insecurity or need for validation, or they have sexual needs or there's a disconnect in the relationship, whatever it is, they're doing this and they're not thinking. They're not thinking about their partner and the ramifications it's going to have and the emotional damage it's going to do to their partner. They're being selfish in a moment, and they're acting on it, and they're not thinking past that. If anything, they're not thinking. So my problem, though, with this decision is the layer of it being on your wedding day and leading up to your wedding, that is a very, very potentially emotionally cut off person, to be in wedding planning, to be talking about forever with someone, to be walking down the aisle, to be saying I do to someone, and all while sending pictures of their fucking suit on the day to their mistress.

What the fuck? So let's make it less about his infidelity and more about what is going on with your husband, that he is so capable of something so hurtful and evil And we can choose to believe he's not the two out of 10, right? That's like an evil person. So if I were you, I would say you need to get into couples therapy if you're going to stay. He needs to get into individual therapy because, again, Who knows? Maybe the cancer, he has lost all capacity to process emotions because he shut himself off during chemo and was just like, I don't know. I can't speak for him. I'm just trying to think of maybe something in that process made him really disconnect from his feelings. And therefore, his decisions of this person were his ability to feel something that he wasn't getting from you in a stable relationship. I don't fucking know. But you need to find that out in order to move forward, in my opinion. And listen, I also want to say, if this happened when you're writing this in and you just found this out, because you said six months after the marriage, or was it six months?

You said you found this So even if this was two months ago when you're now writing in, you can always bring it back up. And to anyone listening, if you had accepted someone and forgiven someone from cheating, and you now are listening to this or you're having regrets, you can always bring it back up in a thoughtful way of saying, Hey, I know that I told you I could move past what happened in the cheating, and I genuinely meant that in that moment. I love you, and I want to work this out, and I still want to work this out. But through time, I have realized that I do not feel fulfilled and happy in this relationship in the context of everything that happened, I don't feel like I got full resolution from that. I don't feel like... I still feel anxious. I'm still finding myself being a bad version of myself, thinking maybe you're doing it again and thinking So I realized that in order for us to move forward and to actually move forward, where we could try to actually genuinely rebuild to the place, not even where we were before the cheating, actually get to a better place, a more communicative place to really get to a place that we've never been, I think we need to go to therapy.

And I am asking you to do couples therapy with me, but I also recognize this was an individual decision that you made. I don't fucking give a fuck every time everyone's like, it takes two to tango when someone cheats. Yeah, maybe, maybe in some situations. But what I don't fuck with is when someone goes and cheats and never fucking articulated to their partner what they were not happy with. That's then one sided. If you have consistently gone to your partner and said, I am not fulfilled in our sex life. We don't connect anymore physically. And then your partner is not meeting you where you guys can come together and be like, Okay, how are we going to work on this? If you have just been thinking this and you never gave your fucking partner the chance to redeem themselves or to fix something that they were fucking up on, or even if they weren't fucking up on it, and you just have this need, you have to fucking communicate what you're missing in order for them to then participate in trying to fucking make it all better and to make you guys both feel fucking happy and fulfilled.

So cheating, for sure. It can take two to tango where your partner is emotionally checked out, and you keep asking them, Can we please schedule a date night? Can you please attention to me? And they're never paying attention. And then you go cheat. I'm not justifying the cheating, but I am saying, then it maybe is. I can lightly agree on that it takes two to tango because you're begging your partner to feel seen, to feel heard, or to meet you somewhere that you're asking them to meet you, and they do not do it, fine, fucking fine. But I would rather the person go and say, before you cheat, then you could... I just wish people would be like, I had really concerning temptations tonight. There was this person at the bar, or there was a person at work, or whatever the fuck, and I had these terrifying temptations, and I think we need to go to therapy because I know I voiced this to you, but it got real tonight, and I want to be real. I would never cheat on you, but it is lightly getting to the point where I'm feeling very unhappy, and I don't want to be that person.

I don't want to be that version of myself. I fucking wish everyone can handle it that way. Unfortunately, that's not how this fucking goes. So what I will say back to your situation is, you have to get to a place where your You're okay. That's all I give a fuck about. I don't know your husband, but your daddy-ing, and I know you. If you listen to this podcast, I feel like I know the vibe of the women that listen to this podcast. And I feel like what you need to do is take care of yourself. And Obviously, there has been a lot of trauma in this relationship, having your partner beat cancer, being there through the chemo, being there through all of this. I can only imagine the emotional connection and ties you have to this person. And I completely understand trying to work something out. I do. I wish I could say I was better. So my advice is creating a plan where you feel like you will feel better and more resolved. Because by you writing and asking, did I go too easy? You know your answer. You know that you feel like you went too easy.

And that's okay, because half of the time when we are all... I feel like whenever I got cheated on, which time? No. When you get cheated on, there's so many layers, almost like how you talk about there's the... What is it? The X amount of stages of grief. Is there seven or five? There's certain stages of processing getting cheated on. There's the I don't need to go through them all, but we all know how it goes if you've been cheated on, of being so shocked in the moment and hurt, and the foundation of your reality has been completely shaken up. And the person you thought you were with is not the person that you knew. And now you're like, what is my reality? But then you're also the person that you're closest to and you rely on just hurt you. So then you broadly want to be closer to them in that moment, but you're not supposed to want to be closer to them. There's so many things that happen. So that is my advice to you. I'm so fucking sorry. And I just want to close out by saying I am so sincerely sorry to anyone who has gotten cheated on or is recently getting cheated on because it is a very, very isolating feeling that is so devastating and heartbreaking, and your entire world feels like it's collapsing.

And it's really fucking difficult when you have people around you that love you so much, and your friends and your family understandably are going to tell you, Fuck him, or to leave. And while in moments, I do believe that to be true, I think we have to understand that relationships are so complex. And relationships, there's so much more than that moment that was It's like, this is someone you loved, you live with, you're married to, there's so much. And you have to unwind all of that before you can make a decision. And so anyone that makes it look easy, I can even sit here. And like I said earlier, being like, I would leave Matt. You don't fucking know until you're in the moment and all of it's going down, and you have to personally and individually decide what works for you. No one else can fucking tell you. So I I can sit here and I can give you advice, but all you need to do is make the decision that you know you can live with. If you know you will be able to trust this person again, and you guys can work through this, and you know you have a partner sitting next to you that is willing to do the work, that is willing to show up for you, that is willing to make sure that you can live without feeling like you need to check over your shoulder and look at his phone and worry when he's out, if you can get to that point, then you know your answer.

It's different for everyone. I love you. I'm so sorry, and It just fucking sucks. I fucking hate people that cheat. I think it just... Yeah, it fucking sucks. I remember in college, playing games as I was. I constantly I didn't really made an effort as backwards as it was. I remember my first college boyfriend, but he was never my boyfriend because I made a very big annoying point to be like, We're not official. We're not official. Because I didn't trust myself. And And I didn't want him able to be like, Wow, you cheated on me. So yes, I was talking to other guys. And was he heartbroken? Yes. But what did he know? Yes, because I wasn't saying you'd be my boyfriend. I think there's a lot of situations where I know that the beginning days of this show, I would joke and be like, Cheat or be cheated on. Yeah, with a lot of men, they're all fucking cheating. But what I know is I just fucking think that people that cheat, there's just so much fucking damage, and they're broken, and there's something something really fucking off about them that you can't fix.

And unless they're like, I'm getting into therapy. I recognize why I cheated was X, Y, Z, and this is how I'm going to take the steps to make sure I never do that again, I would be out. And everyone's going to be different. There are some people that will be like, I will do fucking anything. I feel ill. I feel sick. I'm so fucking sorry. Sure. Words are great. Let's see the fucking actions. If you still feel terrified to open your husband's phone, that's not okay. That's not okay. So I'm sorry. I love you, and you will get through this. And I think, don't bear this alone. I said this in my other solo episode of the Paris episode. Do not bear the weight of this alone. I know it's really, really, really awful to share with a friend or a family member that you're having these thoughts again. It's embarrassing. Of course, it's embarrassing. And you also are like, what if we do get to a better place, and then will they hate him forever? That's fine. That's on them. It's not their relationship. Your relationship with them is your best friend or your family member that you're closest to.

Your relationship with those people is when they are having a hard time, they come to you and vice versa. So don't not go to people because they're going to judge your relationship. Deal with that after the fucking fact, okay? You need support right now, and you can't deal with this alone. So find that person. It can be one fucking person that you know you can go to and say, I need you to not judge me here. I need you to know I'm trying to rebuild my marriage, and I need your fucking support because this is really fucking hard. And I just need a friend that's not going to judge me, that's not going to tell me to fucking leave him right now. I need your fucking support of just handling this with me in moments when I come to you. And you should also get into therapy if this is weighing on you. Okay. Daddy Gang, Matt is back with my lobster roll, so I'm going to go eat a lobster roll. Hopefully, by this time, yeah, new episodes of Tell Me Lies will be out. So hopefully, we're just like, episode three and four are just going to be riveting and just incredible, and we're just going to be having the time of our lives.

I love you all, and I'm so excited to see you all on tour. I cannot wait to see where you guys go for your pre-games and your early drinks and food. Go get your tickets, meet up with Daddy Gang, meet friends, meet like-minded people, and go enjoy yourself before the show begins. And when the show begins, I promise you, I have so many surprises up my sleeve. Many, many, many surprise guests. And yeah, I love you, Daddy Gang. I will see you, fuckers, next Wednesday. Bye-bye..
