1136.585

I, I completely agree. I think my biggest problem is as her, the owner, I didn't want to, completely overstep boundaries. Um, but I know that for her, she has had no leadership experience prior opening this business and being the doctor.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

1380.174

No, honestly, I'm about to go back into the room and get things going.

Fabulous. Thank you so much for asking.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

355.212

Well, there's a reason why I asked the question I did today. Okay.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

361.817

What you got? So I just kind of wanted to see, you know, at what point do you stop pouring into something? Especially when it won't receive what I bring to the team. The team sees me as a leader, but I'm not empowered to lead by the owner. I believe in the mission. I'm a manager. I have attempted to put a lot of things in place, but I'm kind of at a crossroads of, you know, when is enough enough?

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

408.958

You know, do I stop? being underused here and grow where my value is honored, or even I'm on a crossroad of opening up my own business.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

438.311

Absolutely. So I was hired as the manager background. I've had 10 years of running hotels and switched career paths and got into wellness and health. And I understood from the initial interview that me coming into this team was to help build create SOPs and help grow the business. But as I've come into the company again, I had moved away for a few months and then moved back.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

490.471

Cause I moved out of state, but I was still always helping. And when I came back, we're hitting our two year anniversary this week. And there's still no use of SOPs. There's no contracts even for us as employees. And there's just been multiple conversations about trying to create a background for the business so we can be successful.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

527.762

Yes. It's one owner. She's the doctor. I'm on my third conversation.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

538.964

They are typically very positive, but no follow-through.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

555.253

I have presented all documents. and follows up on my end.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

572.569

Yeah, absolutely. The best way for me to put it is that though I'm the manager, she won't allow me to rule anything out.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

631.843

Absolutely. So our meeting today, any of the initiatives that I've put forward and have been attempting to understand, I was told that she was not comfortable doing that until end of year or maybe next year when we hit our three year.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

676.089

She says that it is too busy to put any of the processes in place.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

682.151

It's definitely very busy, but I don't believe we can grow unless we have these processes in place.

REAL AF with Andy Frisella

889. Q&AF: Loyal But Stuck, Ethical Dilemma & Dealing With Bitter Coworkers

708.151

Today, the line has been, I want to put a playbook in place for the office, but use your best judgment. It's your decision, but then she does not support it.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1322.99

Hey, what's up?

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1326.894

We're doing all right.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1331.776

So my question was, how could I help my husband set boundaries with his mother?

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1349.701

Yeah, I know.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1355.888

No, no, not at all. I think it's more of a I think there's some underlying is not with him. My husband's great and he cares a lot about or he worries a lot about his mother's mental health. And considering that his other siblings completely exclude her and dismiss her, he kind of feels like he's the only son that she has left.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1384.867

Um, so I think that worries him and he doesn't, he, I think he fears, um, uh, her going to an extreme because she has been very extreme in the past.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1403.072

Yeah. Uh, because there's been stuff like that that's happened in the past where, um, if she doesn't get her way, then she'll go to the bathroom and

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1416.016

at the hospital yeah so yeah so i man those are really really tough um what why now why is this call coming up now so um he warned me when before we even got married um when i first met his parents he was like i'm just warning you my mom you know he said that she's had trauma in her past and um you know she kind of has the mental capacity of a 12 year old girl And I was like, okay, that's fine.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1444.086

And when I met her, I was like, he's being very generous. I do not think she has the mental capacity of a 12 year old girl. I think it's way lower than that. But the thing that for me broke the camel's back was, um, naming, we're having a baby, um, in April and it's going to be a girl.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1460.158

And he was really nervous about like, if we, um, don't name her after his mother, his mother is going to be very upset.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1473.246

Yeah. And, uh, like even like, and because I know this is a month out, but like during Christmas and Christmas shopping, he wanted to get his parents like grandma and grandpa shirts. And I couldn't find some shirts in her size. Um, so I found her a grandma shirt and I found her and her father, a grandpa shirt, but his grandpa shirt said, you know, best dad promotes grandpa.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1497.506

And I couldn't find that in her size for grandma. So I just got her to like the flowery one. He's like, can't we can't give one a promotion and the other one just grandma like she's going to be very upset if she's not promoted to grandma i'm like okay where is where is his dad in all of this his dad um is very protective of his mother um where like he said that growing up

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1524.544

If his mother went into these rages, his dad would kind of like pull her into a room and like push the dresser in front of the door so that she wouldn't act that way in front of the children. But he tries to kind of keep an eye on her. Again, it's very much like a child where... to the point where he has to remind her to go to the bathroom.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1546.266

He has to, um, like if something like if she leaves, he's like constantly kind of figuring out where she's at. If she's like, uh, like for example, we're at a hotel lobby and some kids were playing and he knocked a sign over and he said, Oh my gosh, is that okay? That was just some kids. Like he thought it was his wife like doing that.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1632.572

Yes, yes.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1743.556

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1792.598

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I know that I think he tries to compromise with, um, like for me, like I, you know, I, I don't have the best, the best relationship is better, but best relationship with my personal parents. But that's because it was like 15 years of therapy, you know, trying to make it work. And I was like, I'm not doing this again with your parents.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1852.865

Yeah, it's kind of... You know, except it was my dad and not my mom, but, or, you know, but yeah, absolutely.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1924.558

Again, he's the peace, it's not a peacemaker, peacekeeper.

The Dr. John Delony Show

My Husband Is Living a Double Life

1930.06

Yeah. And his family where his siblings have all just kind of dismissed her and their whole family and stuff. So he kind of feels like he's the only one. And we're the only one having kids. This is their first grandchild. This is my parents' 12th. Yeah.
