Boy Talk: He has a GIRLS SHELF… should I be worried?

In short

“Boy Talk” episode mixing dating stories and a dilemma about an 80-year-old neighbor who may be romantically fixated on a boyfriend, plus a separate dilemma about a Hinge date who has a fully stocked “girls shelf” in a shared bathroom.

Guests

No named guests appear in the transcript. Hosts are Danny Pellegrino (intro) and two co-hosts who discuss as “girls” (including “Gemma” and “Lydia” mentioned in banter).

Key claims

  • Weirdest mid-date comments include: forcing tequila shots, flexing a recording studio, “dictator” from Naked Attraction, asking to split the bill, sperm count bragging, and rating sex “out of 10.”
  • Dilemma 1: The 80-year-old neighbor has a spare key, judges the girlfriend (called her an “old bint”), monitors routines (dog/washing/flowers), and questions the girlfriend’s claims about the boyfriend.
  • Advice: remove the neighbor’s key and set new dog/house arrangements via the boyfriend.

Notable examples

  • The neighbor takes the boyfriend’s laundry home, returns it folded with post-it notes and kisses.
  • The neighbor “curtain twitches” and claims the boyfriend “doesn’t like” dance, implying she knows him better than she should.
  • The “girls shelf” dilemma is debated as either thoughtful (for visiting women) or a red flag (revolving-door dating).

Hi, it's Danny Pellegrino from Everything Iconic. Have you been putting off that annual doctor's appointment because you don't want to make the call?

0:39Or maybe you've been meaning to find a new dentist, but you have no idea where to start. I find that's especially true when you move. It's hard to find your people. I've been there, which is why I use ZocDoc.

I recently had a last-minute health issue pop up and needed to see someone fast.

1:14Instead of calling around or sitting on hold, I found a doctor on ZocDoc and booked an appointment in just a few minutes. It made the whole process so much less stressful. Ready to be seen? Download the ZocDoc app today. That's ZocDoc, Z-O-C-D-O-C, and book that appointment on your to-do list.

Well, let's just do it together. Let's harmonize. Like we're in Destiny's Child. Okay. Destiny's Child? Yeah. Question of the week. I was doing the line. I didn't like that at all. I actually didn't enjoy that at all. What was coming up? Yeah, I enjoyed what I did. I definitely didn't enjoy that low tone. You wanted to harmonize. That was the whole point. I know, harmonizing is about like the vocals blending like butter.

23:27Okay. Here's the backstory. Sarah, you're not going to convince me that this 80-year-old woman is the devil. Well, she might well be. She might well be. Disguised by her cute wrinkliness, you know. Let the woman live. So last year, she casually told him, I could have had you when you first moved in. Okay. Fair enough. Ha, ha, ha. Of course, of course. Of course, little old lady. Yeah. yes you read that right he was absolutely gobsmacked he's been living next to her for five years and she helps out with the dog during the day has a spare key to his back door and genuinely seems to think she's some kind of claim on him a key is kind of crazy a key is kind of crazy off the back of this comment i doodled a drawing of myself one night with sarah 2.0 new and improved version written underneath followed by old bint what?

24:26you've lost me right, so one night she doodled she drew, the old lady Sarah Arthreiter the author doodled a picture of herself okay let me just read that again, I doodled a drawing of myself one night written underneath Sarah 2.0 new and improved version followed by old bint what does that mean? I think she was making a dig at the old lady I want to say she was drawing a picture of herself being like I'm Sarah I'm the lady of this house you're an old bint it must just be something for you old lady she said big mistake left the notepad on the counter she came to get the dog the next day. I didn't realize how offensive that word was.

25:22She then wrote underneath, explain. So old bin is obviously a derogatory term for an old lady. For an old lady. I've never heard of that word. Me neither. And I felt like the worst person on the planet. I'd only been with him a few weeks at the time. Right, so you just kind of heard the story of the old lady. Yeah, whatever. Right, right, right, right. Since then, things have gotten seriously awkward. I overheard her on the driveway slagging me off last week, saying I leave the washing in the dryer until it's freezing cold, and I called her a bint for no reason. I'm just going to Google bint. Good idea.

26:01So she is like, so she looks after the dog. So I think she's letting the dog out. Yeah, she's making notes on the home and its appearance, and she's noting like, oh, she's not emptied the dishwasher. or a washing still in the dryer. Like she's judging you. Yeah, well, you offended her with that. So then she's just all out, isn't she? And she was here first because you've only been with, this was only a few weeks in. So she's thinking, I've known your boyfriend for a long time. So bint is British slang for a woman or a girl, generally regarded as offensive, disparaging or contemptuous. You silly bint or you dozy bint.

26:39Wow. It's things that were said. New word unlocked. it's like when we learned what jezebel meant oh my god yeah jezebel because we were singing because it's a harry sound song well i was a jezebel i think it's a beautiful name it's like cross of jessica and bella yeah jezebel but it's not a good word right okay so she's slagging you She's slagging you off. Look, if someone I didn't know called me a slewzy bint, I'd be all ready to go as well, I reckon. Oh, really? Well, yeah, bint. You didn't even know what it meant. Well, now I know. What if someone on the street is saying, I'd be ready to go.

27:23You dizzy bint. I now know. I think you just called me pretty. Yeah, I think you just said I'm beautiful. I now know that that is a nasty word. Yeah. All right, she's just out. She's 80. She don't give a fuck. You've called her a bint. You've called her an old bint. You old bint. That's my new favorite word, actually. You old bint. To make matters worse, he's now asked me to move in with him, which has only made things more intense. She actually came over the other day to drop the dog off while I was in the kitchen and introduced herself as the old bint. She's ready to go. I told you. She is not playing.

28:03She's ready to go. I like this woman. Our Sarah is going through hell. Sorry. She then gave me a massive telling off and I had to apologize repeatedly and tell her I didn't appreciate being spoken to like a child. The record and 28. But here's where it gets juicy. So you guys had a little thing in the kitchen. Here's where it gets juicy. Obviously, I'm trying to break the ice and make conversation because she's getting... Why don't you just take this key off this lady? Literally. You can't be waltzing into my kitchen. I think let's just take that. I think it's just changed a lot. We need boundaries.

28:37Obviously we need help with the dog. Yeah, but it needs to be more arranged. Like you don't just come and go as you please. Yeah. That's also like you could be doing anything. Yeah. Sniffing his boxers. Like, but here's where it gets juicy. Obviously I'm trying to break the ice and make conversation because she's going to end up being my neighbor too when I move in. Yeah. I'm on an international dance team. Cool. Wow. You're cool. You're our idol. And told her my boyfriend was coming to watch me compete this weekend. I was just trying to make conversation Good luck Her response Quotes That doesn't sit right with me Brian doesn't even like dance And she's saying That doesn't ring true So she thinks you're lying She thinks you're lying That doesn't ring true Little does she know I can't wait to be 80 I'm just going to call everyone out Yeah me too Little does she know He cried watching The Greatest Showman Hung over in bed a couple of weeks ago Right So she's acting like she knows him That doesn't ring true Yeah it's not like my brian conversation was like a tennis match of her trying to slag me off for 20 minutes and me batting back kindness she then went on to say all sorts gloating about her raising the dog from a puppy and questioning why i'm feeding the dog now in the morning which apparently is a part of the deal with him because his ex used to do it of course so now she's bringing the ex up you know she also casually mentioned that his ex once told her he quotes has feelings for her his ex once told her that he's got feelings for the old lady but she's never told him about it right okay she's just trying to put things in your head well the ex actually told me that he kind of likes me yeah um I'm hoping she's just a bit delulu and has some kind of water infection because honestly what even she was so cryptic and looked like a rabbit in headlights when i said i'd ask him about it she said quote i only ever thought we were friends so never took it further lol okay she's also weirdly obsessed with the washing she takes his stuff out of the wash basket washes it at hers and then brings it back folded with a post-it note with kisses on it it wouldn't surprise maybe she he has slept with her if i'm honest i don't put it past him at this point there was obviously a period where he was single she's been coming around for five years she's doing all this madness they must have had sex i mean it's a pretty sweet deal it's like you've got a built-in granny that lives next door yeah who's doing your washing around doing your washing but she's not doing sarah's laundry no she's not it wouldn't surprise me if she goes into our bedroom and sniffs his underwear drawer.

31:18Well, it is giving that. Why does she have to take it home? I then tried to make some friendly conversation and said the weekly flowers she puts in the vase were lovely. This is a bit, this is too much now. I got that wrong too. It's a flower arrangement art. She shut me down in the most condescending way possible. She even tried to give me advice about moving in with him, saying, make sure it's right before calling me Brian knew something or other. He's even told me that when he was single, girls used to stay over, she'd curtain twitch from her bedroom window and watch them sat in their cars outside.

31:58Oh my God. She is so jealous of anyone being near him. Before she left the house the other day, she actually said, just watch your P's and Q's. Excuse me? I'm moving into this house and I've just handed in my notice on my flat. What does she mean by that? I nearly rang the estate agents to cancel now my boyfriend is fuming and says he's going to have to have a word with her he says he feels mean and that he feels like he can't take the keys off her I get it she's an old and lonely lady but this whole thing is off he's green flags all round and legit the love of my life but she is a big fat red honestly I don't know what to do should I just let him deal with it and keep my distance or should I be worried about her behaviour am i just being paranoid or does the situation actually seem as dodgy as i think i'm also hoping his ex doesn't listen to this podcast because she will know exactly what i'm talking about yeah thanks a million a girl in a very strange triangle this is so strange right i mean the old lady i think the old lady is just like she's obviously formed a bond with her neighbor i.e your boyfriend and if it's been years like she probably quite enjoys like it gives her purpose to her day like looking after him and the house almost she's got a key she pops in she walks the dog she does the washing like she's putting flowers in the vase like she's just keeping busy and obviously she likes being the woman of this house yeah and she's seen women come and go she's seen women come and go she's seen his ex other ladies of the night she's seen it all and you like when i'm 80 i'm gonna be watching through the curtains as well i already am she's already doing it i'm already watching through the fucking curtains what are they doing over there but she is but she's taking it to a slightly new level i think look is if it's do you think this could escalate i think you just need to take the key off her i think if you're gonna move in yeah she can't be a boundary like you don't feel comfortable with someone who you don't really know having a key and also come and go and say you're going to be there now to help with the dog like surely now we've got two pairs of hands let's have a new arrangement whether it's like i'll drop i'll come to you with the dog if i'm on my way out to work like let's just switch up the routine i think a lot of problems will be solved if you just get your key back yeah because and it's not personal you can write her a nice letter put it through the post or something like get your boyfriend to say like oh I'm gonna need that key for Sarah you know Sarah's moving in now so I'm gonna need that key um that's a good one that's a good one because she obviously thinks you're another lady who's gonna come and go yeah actually you're not going you're actually moving in yeah and she's like the arrangement she's had she's got a liking to Brian if she had it her way they'd be together obviously if there wasn't an age gap and she's just got weird and protective and she doesn't like any other woman who's especially because she's setting her ways yeah you didn't get off on the right you could have been mates but you got off on the right wrong thought but she is being a bit weird now and i don't think she should be doing this fucking laundry and i don't think she should be letting herself in through the back door but then brian needs to tell her like not to do that yeah he's been letting her this is brian's thing he's been letting her do it he needs to go around that gave her a key he's the one that like Like, was like, oh, thanks for the washing.

35:25I don't know. Like, Brian needs to sort this out because she's just been doing what she's been told. Brian needs to go around and say, as you know, Sarah's moving in. I'm going to need that key back. You're always welcome. He's just going to have to have that really awkward, uncomfortable conversation. Yeah. But that is what it is. He got himself in this mess. Because she shouldn't be helping herself to his washing. No. And walking it back to her house. What the hell is she doing with his washing over there? I'd dread to think. I mean, maybe she's, maybe it's innocent. but yeah but it but it could also brian needs to get it to stop yeah i think it's his he gave the key he needs to get the key back agreed during lowe's pro savings days save more on the products you count on to get the job done right get a free two pack of dewalt 20 volt max xr 8 amp hour batteries when you buy a select dewalt 20 volt max power tool plus save up to 35 on select major appliances.

37:52okay oh this is interesting oh lord my hinge date has a fully stocked girl's shelf in his bathroom oh god interesting and is he is he kind of saying it as like um this is just um like is it stuff he's collected over the years or has he saying he's made it for you or what Hi girls, I have a dilemma that has completely divided my friendship group and I need your help. I met this guy, let's call him Brian, on Hinge and we hit it off immediately. On our first date we were chatting non-stop, laughing loads and just being a bit silly. It was one of those really easy fun dates where you feel like you've known them for ages.

38:35The weirdest coincidence was that halfway through the night we realised we were born on the exact same day. Same birthday, same year. We both thought that was a bit crazy and took it as a good sign. We went on a couple more great dates and I started to really like him. So far, there have been no red flags. He's sweet, communicates well, has been clear he's dating to find a girlfriend. That's nice. I'm quite avoidant because of a history of toxic situationships, so it's been nice to actually feel comfortable with someone again. However, the spanner in the works came when I finally got invited back to his place.

39:10Oh, so we've not been around yet. He's been at ours then. For context, he lives with three other boys All single All mid to late 20s Ew We have a cute Sunday date Long walk, dinner And I end up staying over Oh no When we're getting ready for bed He casually says Do you need anything from the girls' shelf? Ew, ew, ew What is this fucking Space NK? So we're self-proclaiming it I'm like, the what? He tells me, check the bathroom girls i go in and there's genuinely a whole shelf dedicated to women i don't think i mean like super convenient but yeah that is convenient but no i'm talking makeup wipes tampons hairbrush headbands deodorant lip balm the works like a full is it summer fridays what have we got here is it road what have we got naturally i mean if if this is items that boys have gone and purchased to stock up a female shelf that's great yeah if he's gone out and thought sarah's probably gonna come around tonight there's three boys but we all sharing that bathroom then oh so it's a communal girl's shelf i think so yeah i was hoping they've probably had instances before where girls are like no i can't stay over because i need to get my makeup off so maybe they thought it's kind of smart let's go tesco and let's just lock these let's get tampons hairbrush hair dryers these girls are gonna feel so comfortable in our house they're gonna love our house they're gonna want to come around even more they're never gonna want to leave however but if this is items that women have left and they're storing them on the shelf which I'm assuming so me too different story anyway naturally I come back and say sorry how many girls are you lot getting through in this house he just laughs it off and says it's nice no oh so it is the communal like house shelf for when the women come by oh god it's like kind of thoughtful but like also really not well it's just like no and quickly changes the subject i bet he does now here's the issue this has completely divided my friends right half think it's actually really sweet and thoughtful like the boys have clearly thought about the fact girls might stay over and wanted to make them comfortable i actually think i'm on this side of the fence You are?

41:33I think so, yeah. I'm trying to really put myself in the shoes. The other half think it's a massive red flag and proof that the house is basically a revolving door of girls. Well, like we can also just assume though, like there's a house of three guys. Of course it's a revolving door. Of course there's women in there. There's three single men in there. They're in their late 20s. Mid to late 20s. They've had girls round. I genuinely can't decide which side I'm on. It's weird, but also maybe they just have female friends staying over. No. Sarah, that's delusional. Oh, no. Am I being naive? To add to the confusion, he's quite jokey and unserious and we wind each other up a lot.

42:09He's joked before about being a bit evil.

42:15Okay. Ted Bundy evil or what? Like, what do you mean? That's not funny. And that I should watch out. That's not funny. No, I don't actually appreciate that joke. But it's always clearly in jest. Sure, yeah. I'm a bit evil. And generally, he's actually very sweet and makes me feel really secure. So my dilemma is, is the girl's toiletry shelf a green flag because it's thoughtful? So there's no discussion here. I'm assuming these are like, it's not giving like, this is stuff that girls have left. I think it is. Okay. Think, let's think. These boys, I'm assuming they've lived together at least two years at this point.

42:55Like, you know what I mean? At least two years in this house. Yeah. I think, obviously they've had women round. maybe a couple of them have had girlfriends true true true true and then obviously this is the one communal bathroom where other women are having to use they're taking turns stuff has naturally gathered there and I thought you know what let's actually just pop that on the shelf because that one time that lady wanted a makeup wipe and now we've got some I actually think it's better that it's not just Brian in Brian's bathroom me too it's just like look it's just stuff they've gathered over the three years that they've lived there yeah if you were at a new boy's house and you don't want to go around like assuming yeah you don't want to go around you're just going around for dinner you don't want to assume yeah you don't want to take your makeup and they've got a fully stocked fucking shelf all of this like i'd be like oh brilliant makeup wipes great i'd be gassed yeah have a makeup wipe with cindia and a bit of moisturizer yeah i'd be like oh thank you and a hair bubble for bedtime like i'd be so happy but i wouldn't though but i would also go to sleep thinking who whose hair has this bubble been round.

44:00I really like him. I mean, you could see what color the bubbles were. I bet you it's all in a row. Like it's not from one pack. It will be like discarded bubbles. Like there'll be a black one. There'll be a blonde one. There'll be some weird other one, a weird scrunchie. Like it's gathered stuff. Random clips. Yeah. I really like him and want to keep seeing him, but I cannot stop. I cannot stop thinking about that damn bathroom. Please help because my friends are 50-50 and I I need an outside opinion. Unfortunately. It's not bothering me. That's brilliant. You are secure and that's amazing. And I'm really happy for you.

44:34I would like that, I think. Me too. Only because like if this was, if I was going to a guy's house and he lived on his own. Yes. I would be like, okay. Yes. You're obviously like churning through the ladies here. Yes. And don't get me wrong, but it's convenient. but like it would I it wouldn't make me feel great no but the fact that he lives with two other guys I'm like yeah great let's go for it yeah because imagine when we live together we had a shelf help yourself to the man's shelf fellas are some links there and we've got some links we've got a couple pairs of boxes yeah a lint roller yeah what else some hair gel yeah like what else some male grooming things uh yeah some pube trimmers like go on lads help yourself like yeah but I do think it's better that it is shared with all the other boys at the end of the day there are three single boys we're gonna have to assume anytime you even start talking to boy we have to assume they're sleeping with multiple women and chatting to multiple women yeah and they have been sleeping with multiple women in that house and that shelf is gonna come in handy that probably already has has already saved my life yeah i appreciate that shelf yeah and you just need to block out the idea look he has been with other people in the past is what it is i think if you're really enjoying your dates you're having a good time he seems really sweet he seems like green flags i just think like he was up front about the girl's show yeah he was like help yourself it would have been worse if we went into the cupboard of his own bathroom cabinet and found like weird makeup and found all this weird stuff and he was like being really sneaky about it yeah you know what i mean it's better that it's all out there and it's like this is the girl's show yeah like like i think it's kind of thoughtful i actually do think it is thoughtful yeah in a weird weird way because they live together because there's three of them if it was just brian's then it's different it's like that boy we know and that girl was seeing him and he's got a drawer full of like girl sex toys who i didn't know that what really i told you that no yes that's why she didn't like she was struggling to commit because like in his bedside drawers there's all these like sex toys it's obviously used on loads of other women like that is more of a red flag yeah that's crazy yeah he's got all these like toys for women that he hadn't used on her yeah see that's bad that's worse and he lives alone i take a packet of tampons over that any day yeah exactly like he's got feminine hygiene products yeah i appreciate that he's got some feminax in the cupboard as well i wouldn't be surprised if these boys all had sisters if there was feminax i'd marry him yeah like get me a feminax ad i ride for feminax hard and it's nice to have like you know products there still I think it's thoughtful me too I think it I think it's a cute thing that they thought was really cute and that's all it is look at the end of the day women have been in that house we can't deny it look at least I leave them their makeup wipes for me thank god you know so I'm not hopefully someone leaves it so we're not waking up crusty dusty at least we could take our makeup off thank you I mean I look if they want some tips on what to add to the shop I was gonna say I would say you know what would really really make me happy like a bit of better tint for the lips just so we've got a bit of color on the lips even a wonder skin yeah a little color on the lips yeah maybe an spf wouldn't go amiss if we were going out back morning just so i've got some protection on yeah a road what about a dry shampoo that would be really nice a bit of hair oil i'd like a hair oil i agree that would be i think if we want to amp it up boys get the summer fridays in yeah do a road order get some pocket blush for the morning yeah so we look a bit alive i also really like the lip tint idea that's a good idea me too i I think that's valuable.

48:15And also like a little spoolie so we can brush our eyebrows and our lashes. Absolutely. I really like a spoolie on that. Absolutely. That sounds great. I mean, some estrid razors if we're really going for it. Just some nice razors. Yeah, it would be nice. Just for the morning time if I just want to refresh the pits, whatever. Also, just get a pack of Primark thongs. Just a fresh pack of Primark thongs. I was going to say, they're a pound of thong. And I think that's just good to have a fresh pair of knickers in the morning. Yeah, like just put them in a little, with a cute little box. And if we're really going to go for it, just get some Metacube face masks in the morning.

48:44Some of the sheet masks. Some under eye patches. And some of those sweet under eye patches that we really enjoy. And you can keep them in the fridge, boys. That would be really nice. That would, like, then, like, the girls would be knocking down your door, boys. What about a shark LED mask? Well, yeah, if we're going to go for it. And now it's a pamper night, you know? If we're going to go for it, boys, yeah, absolutely get the shark LED. And if we've got cash, maybe a Dyson Airwrap. Yeah, that'd be great for the cupboard. That would be really handy. You would enjoy that too. if you like some curls going on.

49:11Yeah, if you want a bit of volume. Absolutely. But also, it just does also double boys as a hairdryer. So. Absolutely. Yeah. You know. I mean, some socks. I mean, I guess you can wear the boys socks, but. Yeah. I mean, but some pink fluffy socks wouldn't go amiss. Yeah, like really cozy. You know. And even just like some. Bit of perfume. Yeah, bit of Delina wouldn't go amiss as well. What about those Colgate toothbrush mini things? Yes, I love those little on the go things. Maybe just some fresh toothbrush heads. So that I could grab a fresh toothbrush head and use it on your electric and some nice floss.

49:44That's getting really thoughtful. Boys, girls will just be like loving it. They'll be knocking down to do their beauty routine. Yeah, they're just going to want to pop over. Yeah, it's a good thing to invest in. Good luck.

50:03Oh God.

50:07this is hell our Sarah's found herself in a situation where she's having to live with her ex she says it's hell that's just you know when you break up we'll take the 80 granny 8 year old granny over the ex any day yeah I guess so yeah you're right Sabia but there's nothing worse than moving in and after 4 months we've signed a year lease we broke up after four months. That's brutal. Now we're stuck here for... That is brutal. What's the math on that? Eight months. Yeah. That's the math. Yeah. Hi, girls. I'm a committed listener. Thank you, Sarah, for being here. It's the pod. And I have watched every YouTube video since the days of lockdown try on hauls.

50:52Wow. Thank you, Sarah. Wow, way back when. Thank you, Sarah. You have got me through two breakups this past year. You've made me laugh when I have needed it most. Thank you. Oh, Sarah, thank you. This is a long one. the end of this last year my life was turned upside down and i've been living in a nightmare ever since and have to for the next seven months oh my god i would love some advice and honesty and honestly some confirmation that i didn't deserve what has happened to me yeah absolutely okay let's lock in so my now ex-boyfriend and i moved in before we were together three years ago into our shared uni flat of five okay so this is obviously where our love you know started and had a relationship for the last year and a half.

51:33The relationship was great to start with, but began to fizzle out as he had certain communication problems and he acted in ways in which I felt were disrespectful, which I addressed and he never changed. So to put it bluntly, I lost interest and almost fell out of love with him. He used brackets. He used to send girls to his mates calling them hot and he was friends with every girl he had ever been with um making me super insecure the whole relationship but he never changed any of this okay so this guy was just no no he broke up with me earlier last year at the end of august firstly the way he did it did this was not okay my opinion after a holiday to greece together which my dad had paid for.

52:18He broke up with me at 1am when we were drunk after I cooked for him, took him on a day date to the aquarium and went to the pub with his friendship group. That's not okay. Not okay. So he took his free holiday and then he broke up with you. Idiot. I hope you sent him an invoice. Yeah. Yeah. Literally. I went home to my amazing parents to look after me and give me support for three weeks and came back at the end of September to begin my final year of uni. To my surprise, I walked into the house to a girl I know in the bedroom we had shared for the last year and a half. With him? With him. Oh, my God.

53:01Yeah, of course. He was shagging someone new and of course it's a girl I know. Yeah, of course it is. I've been gone for mere three weeks. We were in Greece a month ago. Wow. for reference we had slash have separate bedrooms but i used to sleep in his bed majority of the time due to the tv he he so this late new lady was in his bedroom right the one rule we made when we split was no one in the house i told we living in the house with other people we're in it i think we're still in this house of five there's five rooms that's something at least and we're still in yeah it is just the two of at least we have we do have separate rooms yeah and we've got other but we set a rule we're like look if we're gonna break up don't strike anyone in the house i'm here you're here and look she said i told him he can do what he wants as long as it's not in my house where i should feel safe and comfortable and he agreed to this and promised he would never hurt me clearly that did not go through i could describe and take up all your time trying to explain the situation but pretty much he had a girl who i know in his bedroom for obvious reasons and who we actually were with when we went out the day he broke up with me so she's in our friendship group or whatever god fucking hell also bad bad really bad form from her but what are you doing even worse form from him like yeah but like come on yeah come on everyone long story short i knocked on the door found her ring gave it back to her and pretty much let rip on him i also texted his parents lol perhaps not the ideal thing to do but I was just so furious and I was on a mission.

54:37Yeah, let him know. She left and had nothing to say. Well, yeah, yeah. That next week he came to me crying, of course, apologizing, saying how awful he felt and how guilty he felt. This at the time made me emotional and made me feel some sort of sorry for him. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, it pulls on the heartstrings. Yeah, I agree to be civil for my own peace of mind, not his, as we have to live with each other for the next year. And also like this is your last year of uni. like I need to lock in I need to get through uni I need to get my degree and I'm not having you you know affecting me day to day and you're not gonna mess this up for me because like I've been at this uni for years and this is my final fucking year it's time to lock in and I'm locking in and you're not gonna fuck this up you idiot so like yeah we agree to be civil whatever being uni students already signing the contract neither of us can afford to move out yeah like we're locked into this contract.

55:35Cut to two weeks later, another girl comes in and he introduces her to me. What are you doing? Then another. He invited round for two nights from London. We're in Brighton. How lovely of him. What is wrong with him? What is happening? The only way, Sophia, the only way right now he can make himself feel better is by sleeping with other women. yeah he cannot he can't face it you already said he had a lot of communication issues like all these issues yeah he cannot handle his emotions right now the only way he can cope with it is by replacing you and you're handling it you're coping with your feelings you're healing he can't work through it no he needs to distract distract distract fill the void fill the void stay busy who else is there who's next and maybe not stand the thought of just like no working through his what's happened in his emotions and maybe he's seeing you kind of like be at peace and kind of be happy yeah and seeing you like not needing any like male attention or distraction and he's thinking like how the fuck is she doing and also also maybe you're like not not bothering him like you probably thought you'd be knocking down his door and he's thinking why isn't sarah bothered about me i need to and he's probably thinking he's trying to get a reaction he's trying to trigger you i think yeah i think he wants to see you crying yeah he wants to see you bothered yeah he wants to see you still care because that's going to make him feel something so this what a loser pretty much i'm asking your advice on how you would handle this situation i have remained calm good and have decided to really really try to see in a positive light of i wouldn't want to be with someone who treats me um who treats someone they love like that anyways yeah well he's got no respect to be honest i'm so fed up with this hearing these girls with my recent ex in my own kitchen being introduced to them on my staircase having hit and him having absolutely no remorse or feelings for me and how it makes me feel even though i made it very clear to him i quote from him when i tried to talk to him after the second girl to ask him to stop this is quotes what he said i don't care for what you have to say i am single i can do what i want i'm tired of hearing you who the fuck are you i honestly have never felt so betrayed and regretted a relationship so much the anger hurt and pain he has and is continuing to put me through is gut-wrenching and so anxiety inducing in my own home from someone who i felt i opened up to and love so deeply any advice on how to get through the next seven months until i graduate would be so much appreciated lots of love um do i sell his clothes on depop yeah make some fucking cash uh do you want to see the evil man yeah go on well it's this is our sarah i mean stunning beautiful gorgeous amazing oh my god sarah gorgeous yes this guy's going for it because he knows what he's lost let's see him like because look at him loserville no he's the mayor of loserville he's the mayor of loserville you're the mayor of loserville listen sarah you cannot regret the relationship because what do we always say at the time it's what you wanted to do like you had lovely memories with that guy like i know it didn't end well and like he's you're seeing a different side to him now but you can't regret the whole relationship like don't be too hard on yourself because at the time you connected you wanted to be with him so you did but we can read him like a fucking book yeah and i genuinely think in these instances like look you've got to hunker down for seven more months and i think the best way for you to behave is as unbothered as you can because he's trying to trigger you he's trying to upset you he's trying to literally shove it in your face like look at me like i'm doing this like is it annoying you like am i triggering you like it's like you will not get a rise out of me and i think the more unbothered like happy like just not caring energy that you can exude even though you don't feel it yeah you need to fake it so hard that he is like fucking hell and then you know what are we doing getting to her like you can be like hey oh my god you look gorge i'll love that oh have fun guys like i'm going out see you later like honestly like give it all of that and then and then she's gonna say oh she's really nice yeah she's really nice who's that and then he'll be knocking down your door crying because yeah like because he's not getting that reaction and he's like shit look what I've actually lost this lady who's exuding light and warmth and what look what I've done to her like also I think like the minute that he realizes that it's actually not bothering you and you're actually like finding it kind of like humorous and like yeah okay um i don't think he would do it as much i agree and i don't exactly because he's only doing it because you're there yeah i think remind yourself he's a fucking loser don't want to be with that prick you disrespected me time and time again i will never forget how you broke up with me you know you don't treat me with respect we set boundaries you're breaking them like we hate him which is good we're not good there's no part of us that's wanting we're not sad over him we're just angry at him because i'm angry because this is my last seven months of uni i want to enjoy it but you're making it extremely hard yeah for me to now enjoy these last seven months so hard if it was right in front of your face if this was lydia or whatever i'd say get a mini fridge in your bedroom i know it's a bit isolating but in order so that we're not running into anything in the kitchen like we want we do want to try and avoid him as much as possible i would get a mini fridge and like i don't know i would just try and avoid him at all costs and keep as much stuff in my bedroom as possible and like where are the other like um the other flatmates i'd be like i'd say like is he in his bedroom is he out can you let me know when he's out the kitchen like can we just work together so that i don't have to see his fucking face yeah hopefully you've got other people to lean on yeah but if you do run into him it's just unbothered as possible yeah unfazed like look him in the eyes say down hi hey don't even be avoid hi like confident you know confident like you look amazing you're insane yeah every day is gonna see you when he's regretting his decision because he's doing he's trying to replace you he's trying to find you another women already and he's embarrassed he's embarrassed just see it's so embarrassing yeah so like you're embarrassing yourself also in front of everyone like we broke up three weeks ago yeah and you've you're tuning through all these women already you're so embarrassing

it's not going to be like this forever i know seven months feels like a long time and it is but this will be over like you've not got five years ahead of you like it will be over you won't be in this
