| 0:10.1 | So I was just calling to see if this was normal. |
| 0:15.2 | My boyfriend has used the credit cards that are in my name, and two of them are in both of our names, but I don't use the credit cards that are in my name and two of them are in both of our names but I don't |
| 0:23.3 | use the credit cards and I was wondering if that is a normal thing because he's saying it's normal |
| 0:29.0 | and I don't have to worry about the transactions because he's making he's taking care of the bill. |
