Speaker: Yeah, 18 is an inherently irresponsible time, mine is 24 and getting married soon so that makes a lot of difference.

At least you know the family will support you!
Your instruction here	Speaker: There was a time when I really messed up. Listener: Oh! What happened? Speaker: Some folks were counting on me to buy some things, but I never did. Listener: Wow!

Your instruction here	Speaker: I don't know why my boyfriend lied to me about seeing another woman. I thought he loved me. Listener: Do you think it's possible that he does still love you and also made a horrible mistake? Speaker: I'm not sure, but I'm hoping that he will realize he's messed up. Listener: I think that when people cheat and lie, it's because something is wrong with them and not their partner. If he doesn't realize his mistake, then he doesn't deserve your love. I wish you all the best! Speaker: Thank you so much. Hopefully, it all works out, and he comes back to me. Listener: I hope you realize your worth too. I do this thing where I think about another woman in my life who I really care about (mom, daughter, etc.) and I think "if this was happening to them, what kind of advice would I give them?" Sometimes, we think we deserve less.
