Hey, this is Dakota. And this is Riley, your favorite OK Stories I'm host. And we got some great stories coming up. But before that, we have a quick two-minute break from the sponsors that keep this show alive.

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human.

My best friend lets her boyfriend listen to all my private calls without telling me.

I think you should break the speaker button.

My 27 female best friend, Lucy, 27 female, and I live in different countries and have had

regular long catch-up calls for years.

Since she started dating three years ago, her boyfriend has become a permanent presence

in our calls.

At first, it was occasional, which was fine, but now it's the default.

Lucy often doesn't tell me he's going to be there, and I'll find out when I join the

video call or later that I was on speaker, and he was in the room.

By the way, this comes from user Fit Comedian 5674, and if you want to submit your own

okay story time subred it i'm dakota and i'm savanna and we're here to give good advice goofily we're

going to yap about this story but we're not experts here we only know what we know so tell us what you

know in the comments and op says the first time i met him was without warning lucy brought him

into a video call when i was in PJs and I just

had a big fight with my family. She knew I planned to talk about it during this call. I ended up venting

in front of him anyway because I was an emotional wreck. Lucy thought it was a great bonding moment

until I told her it wasn't. After that, I asked for separate calls sometimes. She agreed, and while she'll

always have a private conversation if I ask, he's around most of the time by default. The private

calls are reserved for when we're having a rough time, usually, not day-to-day girl stuff.
