No, I'm Not Jealous!

Transcript

You ready to start dinner? I did. I did remember to take the chicken out of the freezer.

You didn't think I was going to, did you? So what was your backup plan? If you didn't think I was going to take it out of the freezer, you must have had some kind of backup plan.

Really? Uber Eats. I mean, if that's what you want, we can do it.

Baby, you know I'm always game for sushi. Teasing, teasing. Let's just.

.. We got the food. Let's eat healthy.

Let's eat in. Yeah, the coconut curry chicken, unless you want to make lemon pepper chicken. I can do either one.

Honestly, we got everything we need for both. Oh, hang on, hang on, hang on. There you go.

Slipped between the cushions. What was that? You're not even going to take his call? Well, I guess I'm just surprised he called.

I thought you guys didn't even talk anymore. Like, when's the last time you've even heard from him? Really? When did he DM you? Seriously? Like, unannounced? Like, out of the blue? What do you want? No, I'm not trying to act crazy, it's just like.

.. It just seems weird that he would DM you out of the blue after all this time. And now he's calling? So what do you want? When you say he's coming to town, you mean passing through, right? That's really not the answer I was hoping for.

So he's moving back when? Well, I mean, I thought he was with someone new. He's asking you out for drinks? Oh, okay, fine, he's single again, but he knows you're not, right? He DM'd you on WhatsApp, yeah? I'm just saying, if he's DMing you there, he must have seen your profile picture, right? With the two of us? It's not like you've been hiding it on your socials.

So all that, and he still asks you out for drinks? No, don't worry about it. Seriously.

You really want me to tell you? Okay, okay. But I need you to keep something in mind, all right? I respect you, I respect your autonomy.

I don't think it's okay for me to dictate what you need to do, what you can or can't do. It's not my place. I will share my thoughts with you, and you're free to do whatever you want with it, okay? I'm just really, yeah, bugged is a good word for it, yeah, um, perturbed, pissed, maybe like angry, maybe even, because this dude is contacting you knowing you were in a relationship with someone else, and then escalating it.

He escalated from DMs to phone calls. He knows you're with someone else. There's no way he doesn't know, and he just doesn't care.

He's like completely got no regard whatsoever for you, for me, for our relationship. Does this guy have boundaries? I'm just, it blows my mind.

I can't even conceive of knowing that you are with someone else, and trying to get you one-on-one to go out for drinks, especially as an ex-romantic partner, okay? It's not like this is your long-lost guy friend from, I don't know, from high school that moved away. This, this, I'm just bugged, okay? It's completely, it's just totally unacceptable behavior.

It's not cool. Can I be honest with you? Honestly, I don't like him.

I never have. I never thought that he was good enough for you. I think he treated you like garbage.

He treated you how I would never, ever want anyone to treat you, or anyone else, really. But especially not my sweetheart. And with this, I like him even less, okay? You could say that.

Yeah, you could say that I hate him. I don't think that's too strong a word. Alright, I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna be as open as I can here, and I'm gonna choose my words very, very carefully, so there is no chance whatsoever that I overstate this.

I hate him with the fury of a thousand fiery suns. And if he shows his face where I can see it, he will end up eating his teeth. I will seriously injure him.

This is not okay. He treated you like garbage. Now he's trying to push me out of the picture and get you back.

You said you didn't DM him back, right? And he doesn't even respect that. I'm just really upset about the disrespect here.

I'm not upset at you. I don't think you did anything wrong here. That doesn't mean I like this jerk trying to insert himself back where he doesn't belong with no regard whatsoever to what you want, to what I want, to what's going on in our lives.

He doesn't care that he might be disrupting something here. It doesn't occur to him. It doesn't occur to him that this is not an acceptable way to behave, or that you might not want to go out with him again, or that I might not want.

.. Baby, what are you doing? You did? You blocked him? No, I didn't.

I didn't realize. I guess it makes sense. You blocked him on WhatsApp and that's why he had to resort to calling, huh? It's still weird he didn't just send a text.

Well, I mean, not weird. It's crappy and lame and wrong and weird, maybe, I guess. It just makes it.

.. It just blows my mind. Like, what is this dude's problem? He said thanks, but no thanks, right? And then you blocked him and he still didn't get the message? I just.

.. I mean, given what you've told me about him, I guess I'm not that surprised. Baby, he never took good care of you.

You and I both know it. That's why you kicked him out of your life. Look, I know I got a bit heated here.

I want to just reassure you, I'm not upset at you. And I trust you. I trust you with my life.

I'm not trying to tell you what you can and can't do. I'm not trying to dictate your choices. I'm not trying to act crazy and possessive or anything like that.

I just. .. I'm just upset by the disrespect.

I'm upset that he thinks that it's okay to move in on our relationship.
