Chapter 1: What shocking event did Bryce experience at the baseball game?
Your ego wants to hear from her. I'm guessing, you know, but like you should like, she's not changing anytime soon. You know what I'm saying? Whatever that was stopping her from saying yes to you and yes to moving in and yes to moving forward and taking the next step. Like that hasn't changed in her life. You know what I'm saying? Correct. And, And she wasn't wrong.
You know, that's a, that's a thing that we struggle with. Like, right. Is that in the heat of the moment when you were trying to convince her or talk with her and you needed an answer, whatever was telling her I'm not ready was her truth.
And she can love you and think you're great and know that a life with you would be pretty good and realize, I don't know, man, I just, I'm not ready to be a fucking housewife.
yeah i wasn't it you know i'm not saying you're pressuring her at all that worked up yeah right i wasn't worked up i wanted it either it was like okay that's that's fine like i'm you know i'm patient i have patience no i know but like you know like you said though once sometimes a relationship gets to a certain point and like i think two people act like you know like in terms what are we doing here we have been dating for three and a half years where is it going you know like
So it's a, there's no wrong answer. Like the only thing that really sucks is that like, she just was like too cowardice and too immature to just give you an honest fucking answer. And like, I don't know, man, I'm not, I'm not ready for this type of relationship. And yeah, I think we, I think we need some distance, but she didn't have the guts to do it. So you did it for her.
And then she took the easy way out and, and, and, and, and got a little sloppy and she wasn't stupid. You know what I'm saying? I'm not saying she went to get caught. But like you said, like she, she went out, she was doing, she knew what she was doing. And, and maybe there's a part of her that kind of wanted, you know, maybe she doesn't want to be lying.
You know, like most, very few people are like narcissistic sociopaths who just don't give a fuck. They're just they just don't they lack the maturity or the emotional whatever the fuck that like allows them to just say, you know what? Fuck, I'm scared as fuck. I don't know. I don't know if I regret this, but I do know right now I'm not ready.
And yeah, we should probably take some real time apart and. I wish I could be friends with you and I wish I could call you every day, but I know that's not fair to you and we should break up. And I'm really sorry that I made promises to you about getting married to you. And, and if I, you know, but like, I'm sorry.
And I fucked up and I know you're going to hate me, but like, this is what I need for myself. And she didn't have the guts to do that. She went to a baseball game instead.

Chapter 2: How should Bryce handle his girlfriend's betrayal?
Yeah. I feel... Listen, I don't know your sister. I don't know you very well. This is obviously a bump in the road. That's for sure. You know? I think... I'm sure you heard me say... It's just like... There have been... You know... Not maybe to that degree. We've all had times and periods in our life where we're going to look back and be ashamed of the person we were.
And maybe that's this bouts of narcissism, selfishness, self-centeredness. Sometimes we just get so caught up in our own bullshit that we come across to many people like your sister seems to be coming across to you. And again, definitely not a therapist. I'm not even in a position, even if she was here, I'm not in a position to diagnose. But like, I don't know.
I'm going to just go ahead and bet that like your sister didn't magically become a narcissist. Right. And that like it's not as if right now you're looking back at your entire relationship and like for the first time ever seeing your sister in a whole new way and realizing that since the age of like 10, she's kind of been the narcissist, you know, and she's like some sociopath or whatever.
That doesn't seem to be the case, right? You know, so she's going through something and, you know, certainly demonstrating narcissistic, you know, she's only caring about herself. So listen, I'm optimistic that she can work through this, but to work through it, you know, you two might have to go through some periods of major reform and that might require you to what you feel,
You say, yo, if I don't have my sister, who am I? This is also an opportunity for you to rediscover yourself as an individual. I don't know what it's like to be a twin or have a twin or that bond, and I have no doubt it's very special and something that you two have that most people who aren't twins don't have. That is not an excuse.
Yeah.
to look the other way or ignore bad behavior because you guys have such a bond that you need to basically be there to enable each other and approve of bad behavior in the spirit of being close, you might have to say, I don't know who you are anymore. I don't like who you've become right now. I believe in you as a person.
I'm glad you're working through this, but I'm no longer going to listen and approve of things. And if you want to be in my life, get ready to start hearing exactly how I feel. I will always unconditionally love you, but I definitely do not like who you are right now. I don't like what you've become. I don't approve of it. You can say things like, I'm just, I don't know.
I don't know how direct you want to be, but you have to, you know, without name calling and trying to hurt her, you have to start being honest with her.

Chapter 4: How can Hannah support her sister while maintaining her own boundaries?
Well, maybe thank your boyfriend for saying some of the same things I've probably said. And like, you're just willing to listen to me because I'm some third party who's not invested. So like maybe give him some acknowledgement and like maybe a little bit of like, hey, I'm sorry. Yeah, because you have obviously alienated yourself and your relationship in the sake of being there for your sister.
Correct.
So, all right.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much.
My pleasure. I'm sorry you're going through this. It obviously sucks. But you have a lot of control that you don't feel like you have. And I think that needs to be your lasting takeaway of this. And so stop being a victim in this situation. It's a shitty situation. I understand that. You wish you could fix it on your own. You can't.
But you still have a lot of control in a situation that you've honestly probably made more worse than better.
I think you might be right. All right. Well, thanks, Nick.
All right. Take care. Truly. All right.
All right.
