Listen, it's the Bert Show.

All right, we have a Bert Show listener on the line right now, on the voice disguiser.

We're going to call him Jason, very nervous to come on, because he wants to make this work with his girlfriend.

She has given him basically every opportunity to leave this relationship and done it in sometimes very cruel ways.

Okay.

So I think our initial response is going to be a natural one and it's going to be one

to say, you got to get out of this thing, dude.

You got to get out.

But I'm more curious if we can actually find virtual listeners that have hit rock bottom.

I mean, just rock bottom with their boyfriends, girlfriends, wives, husbands, and stayed in the relationship and it actually worked out in the end. Like maybe, because he's so committed to making this work, you can give him some hope. And I'm hoping it's not a dangerous thing to do. I don't even know if he'll get any calls on it. Okay. Well, let's at least hear him out. Hey, Jason. Good morning. Hey, what's up, guys? Hi, you're on the voice disguiser. That's good. That's good. All right, go ahead and detail for us, the relationship. How many years you guys have been going out and some of the kind of infractions that have gone on in the relationship, because you really do. And reading your email, you have, I mean, if it's me, I'm out the first time,

but you have stayed in time and time and time again.

Yeah, that is right.

I've been with this girl, say, I don't know, about two and a half, three years,

and she's loved my life, I'll admit that.

And we've had some rough times recently, but we came across the situation

where she went on this business trip. She's in sales, and she's not a very good salesperson,

so she's excited about this opportunity. So she tells me she goes on this business trip, and she leaves,

she gives me goodbye, and I don't hear for about two or three days and of course I get a little

worry um I look in a kitchen I find it kind of strange that her briefcase is still there and I thought

she should have taken a briefcase on the business trip so me being a little nosy I go in there and

kind of take a peek and there are all these brochures like Virgin Islands and there's these little stickiness attached to him saying I love you I can't wait to see you I can't wait to you a bathing suit of course I'm getting a little curious about at this point trying to figure out what's going on so I call her boss and go listen there's a way to get a hold of so-and-so in Houston that's where she told me she was going. And her boss told me that she's not in Houston. She took an eight-day leave of absence to go to the Virgin Islands. Oh, no. And so it turns out, like, do you have to know who she went with? And he told me that another coworker took enough eight-day leave of absence as well. So you started putting it all together. Yeah, I finally just figured it all out. All right. Of course, I'm a little angry at this point. I don't know what to do. A little, a little angry. I'm a little annoyed. That's kind of a little bit of a thorn on the side. But other than that, I love her. Yeah.

So if I can confront her, and she didn't give me any really good reason about what she did, so I was sorry, and she felt stupid about it. Of course, Big Parvin wants to take her back, and Big Parmer says, you know, dude, what are you thinking? Move on with your life. Did she give you any indication that this was just a kind of a physical thing with this guy
