This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. My ex of eight years is trying to rejoin my friend group. What should I do? This is OKOP, home of the craziest stories on earth. I'm Sophia. And what should O.P. Do you? Riley, what do you think? OP should eliminate the threat. Yeah. And get your friend group back.

Yeah.

Those are your friends.

No one else is.

The trick is you have to do it legally and she still has to be live.

So what are you suggesting?

I don't know.

Just get rid of her.

If that's what you want.

Interesting advice from Riley.

Anyway, there's only one way to find out.

Spill that tea. All right. So

throw R.A. 192 says, me and a girl who I will just call Jessica, were a couple for eight

plus years and engaged for three plus of them. I met her through a mutual friend in my group of

friends. We ended up hitting it off pretty quickly as our dorky, nerdy hobbies

align really well. Nice. Are they dandy hobbies? I personally fully expected to marry this person and

spend the rest of my life with her. As usual. Yeah, as per usual. In early 2016, her job offered her an

amazing opportunity to temporarily work four months in the company's satellite office in New Zealand. She was an environmental engineer to temporarily manage and lead a new team. That's sick. That's a sick place to go. It was very sudden and I was really not happy with the idea, but she really wanted this chance and opportunity. So off she went. I flew out to visit her after two months. Only when I arrived at the airport, I got a text message from her. The message was short and more or less consisted of she was sorry, but after thinking it through, she thinks it would be best if we went on our separate ways from now on. Whoa. After, after he got to the airport? Dude, I don't even know where he's from, but whatever set of hours that you were on that plane. And then you get to the airport? That's, oh my God. Sit him before he leaves. Yeah. Like, presumably he had said he was flying. Like, that's not a thing you do on a whim, usually. Oh, my God. No. The amount of money. Oh, God. She then completely blocked me on almost every single form of social media, cell phone, etc. I was confused, devastated, and became an absolute wreck. I remember completely breaking down in Auckland Airport. Oh. I don't know what happens next, but I hope that you got to have like a really nice time in New Zealand. Yeah. Just solo, like a solo trip. You found yourself.

You went river rafting.

You went on an adventure.

Some Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings style. Stuff. I spent the next four days living at a motel basically trying to get into contact with her in any shape or form. She had apparently blocked everyone of her circle of friends. Even her close friends from our circle of friends were shocked, confused, and basically lost.

Even her parents were extremely confused when I called them. Her dad, who I was extremely close with, we coached pee-wee hockey together and played a lot of beer league for hockey together, refused to believe it at first. Yo. That's, yeah, I feel like something else is going on. What are you got? Where are you feeling? Okay, okay, okay. I think that, there we go.
