Subject has my husband been 11 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: faking it? Dear Stephen Shirley. I'm a thirty nine year 12 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: old married woman and my husband is thirty seven. My 13 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: husband lost his job in twenty twenty and we moved 14 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 1: to a smaller house and use the equity from our 15 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: old house to cover our expenses until he could find 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: another job. The change of lifestyle made us closer and 17 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: really humbled him. He finally joined my church and he 18 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: stopped pressuring me to have a baby. He told me 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: that he was happier than he'd been he'd ever been, 20 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: and he felt at peace. Then he got a job 21 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. Late last year, he got a 22 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: big promotion and now he earns more than he's ever earned. 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: By the first of this year, he started saying that 24 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: we're outgrowing the small house and we need to find 25 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: a house in our old neighborhood. He suggested that I 26 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: start looking for a new car for myself, but I 27 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: just paid off my Volvo, so I'm good for now. 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: I am a teacher and I have no desire to 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: drive a nice car to my job in the hood. 30 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: He bought a new SUV and renewed our membership to 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: a private club where we were usually the only blacks 32 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: at events. He started going back to his old tailor 33 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: and he cut off his beard that I loved. He 34 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: was becoming his old self again. I Memorial Day, his 35 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: company had a cookout and I could not wait to 36 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: meet his coworkers that he bragged about most of the 37 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: black ones don't know they're black. And I didn't know 38 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: if I should laugh at my husband or clap for 39 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: him when he used proper subject verb agreement. My husband 40 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: really wants the status that he won. Had I told 41 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: him that he lied about being comfortable with my downs 42 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: with downsizing our lives. He said that it is time 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: for a change. Was my husband faking his happiness with 44 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,119 Speaker 1: me for the past five years. Well, I mean, definitely, 45 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he was faking it. But what I'm 46 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: trying to figure out is what are you complaining about? 47 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I would think you would be happy to 48 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: move into a nicer home and also that your husband 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: wants to buy you a new car and do nice 50 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: things for you. I mean, he's obviously making more money 51 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: now and he's being the provider and that's what real 52 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: real men do. He's getting a swag back. Okay. He 53 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: wants you to be proud of him. He wants you 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: to go with him, but you're seem stuck and resistant. 55 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I really again, don't think he was lying 56 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: about being comfortable with the downsizing, not at all. He 57 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: made the necessary adjustments to deal with the life he 58 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: had while he wasn't working. He didn't complain, He dealt 59 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: with it. Now he's back and he wants to live 60 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: and thrive and take his life your lives to the 61 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: next level. He wants you to go with him. You're 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: his wife. What's wrong with that? It shows he's adaptable. 63 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: He's making up for lost time now while you're trying 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: to stay stuck in the past, you know, and focus 65 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: on the wrong thing. 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: Steve, You know what I think.

After Wow, 173 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: we didn't have no human books. 174 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: Somebody just jumped up and busted out into a song 175 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: and we followed. 176 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: Well. Finally joined the church. Stop pressing you to have 177 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: a baby. 178 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 3: He told you he was happy and that he had 179 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 3: ever been and he felt at peace. This is a 180 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: man who's adjusting to the circumstance. So instead of getting 181 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: down the downside and complaining, he told you he was 182 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 3: at peace. Last year he got a new job, got 183 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 3: a big promotion. He want to move out the old neighborhood. 184 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: He suggested they start looking for a bigger house. Then 185 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: he told you to find yourself a new car. I 186 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 3: just played off my vovo. I'm a teacher. I don't 187 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 3: want to drive no new car to no hood. Keep 188 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: your Vovo. Then he bought a new SUV renewed your 189 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: membership down at the private club where we usually only 190 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 3: blacks at the event. That's what happened all the time. 191 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: When you move out into neighborhoods. It ain't a lot 192 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 3: of us out there, so you wind up being the 193 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 3: only one that ain't the first time. Then this company 194 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: had a cookout. I couldn't wait to meet his co 195 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 3: workers that he bragged about. Most of the black ones 196 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 3: don't know that they black, or they playing the game too, 197 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: because when they're at home, they got to be something else. 198 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 3: We done all had to put the mask on to 199 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 3: come to work, so you know, everybody know what the 200 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: masks look like. They's work in corporate America and put 201 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 3: the mask on, go down here and deal with it 202 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 3: so we can go home. Yeah, most of the black 203 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: ones don't know they black. They probably do. They just 204 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: got to play the game. And so I didn't know 205 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: if I should laugh at my husband or clap when 206 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 3: he used proper subject verb agreement. You a teacher, you 207 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 3: ought to be happy about that. My husband really wants 208 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 3: the status that he once had. Yes, he does, because 209 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 3: that's what money does. It provides you with the status. 210 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: I told him he lied about being comfortable with downsides 211 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: in our lives. 212 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 2: No, he didn't. 213 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 3: He just adjusted and instead of being a whiner and complainer, 214 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 3: he went along with it. Man, that's the kind of 215 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 3: man you won't. He said that it's time for a change. 216 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 3: Was my husband faking his happiness with me for the 217 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: past five years? 218 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: Why is that your question? Exactly? Why is that your question? 219 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: If he was faking it, what you would would having 220 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 3: a real family and another family or woman on the 221 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 3: side and all that I could have. But was he No, 222 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: he wasn't faking it. That's the happiest he's been. He 223 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 3: was at peace. He was out the rat race for 224 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 3: a minute. He took a break but the true him 225 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 3: wants to get back in the game. And yes, he 226 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: wants that status because that's why you make more money. 227 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 3: And he's doing exactly what a man should do. He's 228 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 3: making more money to provide a better lifestyle for you. 229 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 3: He buying you a bigger house, he buying you a 230 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 3: new car.
