On episode 5 of The Joevelocity Show, Joe is joined by Hubba and we discuss some stories from the r/AITA Subreddit:
• General Discussion
Our conversation begins with lighthearted remarks about in-studio guest audio quality improvements and the challenges of recording in hot weather. Hubba shares their experience with training in Pittsburgh's Strip District, highlighting the area's vibrant community and the growth of the local filmmaking industry. The discussion transitions to personal anecdotes about career paths, including a shift from video to audio work and hands-on carpentry training. Workplace dynamics are explored through stories of supportive training environments and past experiences with challenging colleagues. The narrative also touches on the Joe's decade-long tenure at their current company, their decision to avoid managerial roles, and the balance between professional and personal pursuits. Themes of authenticity, self-identity, and the importance of staying true to oneself are emphasized as keys to success and fulfillment.
• My FWB no longer wants to have sex with me but wants to remain friends.
In the Reddit AITA stories, we begin with a scenario where the poster's FWB decides to cease sexual relations while trying to maintain a friends-without-benefits arrangement, leading to hurt feelings and the eventual dissolution of the friendship. This raises questions about the transactional nature of their bond and the cultural trend of ghosting as a way to end relationships. The discussion expands to the emotional impact of silent treatment and ghosting, highlighting their severity and the importance of respectful communication when ending relationships.
• AITA for considering ending a 5 year long relationship over how my GF treated me on my birthday?
We examine a relationship scenario where one partner's repeated self-centered actions, including dismissive behavior on the other's birthday, reveal a pattern of manipulation and disregard for emotional well-being. Examples such as mishandling a partner's phobia further illustrate the strain caused by a lack of empathy and consideration, emphasizing the need for individuals to prioritize their emotional health and establish boundaries to avoid future heartache in relationships with self-centered partners.
• I found out my husband had a second phone and now I don’t trust anything.
Next is the story of a woman who discovers her husband's hidden second phone, leading to trust issues and speculation about infidelity. The husband's defensive behavior and lack of transparency raise concerns about the foundation of their marriage. Commenters emphasize the difficulty of rebuilding trust after deception and speculate on the implications of the husband's actions.
• And in the Moment of Conclusion, my husband told me I am lucky he hasn’t cheated.
Finally, we discuss another scenario where a woman struggles with intimacy after childbirth, facing her husband's frustration and hurtful comments. This highlights societal pressures on body image and the importance of emotional support in relationships. Efforts to rekindle romance through compliments and flirty behavior are met with mixed responses, underscoring the need for mutual appreciation and understanding. he chapter concludes by reinforcing that fidelity and love should be based on deeper qualities beyond physical appearance, and warns against the consequences of negative behavior in relationships.
