Kraudel vs.Hodge
Judge Toler, you are only human, and you missed this one. This episode is about a man who is over 50 who wants to have a relationship with a 29 yo virgin. I believe she wanted her paintings back, and I think he was really just keeping them out of spite and to manipulate her. While she did give them to him, they are one of a kind. She probably did ask for them back. I would have told her to forget about those pics, create more great ones and move on. When she said she is no good at confrontation that is probably what she was talking about.
This manipulative man (lied about his age because he knows he'd too daggone old) feels like if he stays around long enough, and takes up her time long enough (she said she has other things to do than be bothered with him, but he wants to go to the movies three times a week), he should be entitled to be the first with her. He will probably add that conversation too later on.
She is still really too young to know how far an old man will go to get what he wants. You should have told him that by a year and a half if she has not made a decision with him she never will, and he needs to get out of her life, rather than to stay around and take away any more years of hers, and then have the nerve to get mad and frustrated when she shows him in so many ways ( by flirting with everyone else) that she is is not that interested. You should have told him he does not have any more time to in his life to waste, stop being a jerk and "kick rocks."
You gave excellent advise to her but horrible advice to him. You told her "you're not going anywhere", and she really does need to. She said she wants to live her life. Is she living with him? She can be broke on her own, with no children yet. You should tell her when he is truly older, he won't be able to make her happy, because she is already more energetic than him. She is going to be tied to misery just because he is selfish. No amount of money can make up for that. Hell, they don't even listen to the same music.
Judge Toler, PLEASE call them back and tell them both the real deal. I hate to see this happening to her. .
Really really annoyed,
