0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 1>love it, y'all, I love this ship. I still got

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stories to read. What I'll revisit that

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>next week. We're gonna start with the voice notes. Make

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>those priority this week. How I'm gonna do it is

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll do for the first two weeks out of the month,

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll do voice notes, and in the last two weeks

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>out of the month, I'll do the red stories because

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 1>I still want you guys to send in paragraphs or whatever.

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I joke and play. When I say, you guys, don't punctuate.

0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I can read through it and I can make sense

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>of it unless you just playing damn slow. All right,

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>get your ship together. We're gonna start off, jump straight

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>into it. Here we go. Hey, Jess, I just want

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>to say I've been listening to since episode one of

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, and girl, I love you. I love you, Rails.

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I missed just with the mess, but I know why

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>you stopped doing it with your son and Chadwick, and

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>I respect that. But anyways, my mass is family related,

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna try to keep it shorter than it

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>really could get. So I have a cousin, and me

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and that cousin grew up kind of like sister brother cousins,

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 1>similar age, and we got to be older, you know,

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.559
<v Speaker 1>groups mingo, I have a date his friends, he would

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>did a few of my friends. Always was you know.

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>That's how it went. As we got a little older,

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>it started to seem like he wanted to kind of

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>shut me out but still dat my friends. So I

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>had a friend and at the time, he had a

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>child on the way, and I invited my friend to

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a family event. She met my cousin, unknowing to me.

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>They exchange numbers. Fast forward a few weeks later, him

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>and his baby's mother fell out because she went through

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.880
<v Speaker 1>his phone and found messages of him and my friend.

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>When I approached my friend about it, she kind of

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>told me, basically, it's none of your business. I didn't

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.120
<v Speaker 1>tell you it's not your business, So I left it

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 1>at that. Um From there, she kind of just distanced

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>herself from me and let it be known that she

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to be my friend no more. Basically, she

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:22.679
<v Speaker 1>got what she was there for. So that was the

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>end of our friendship. My cousin and I never really

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>mended things back to where we were, but you know,

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>feeling his family and I still was around him here

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and there. He meets another friend of mine, the same

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>thing things go left with them. She's actually a closer

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine, and she tells me what he actually

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>says about me when he's with her, the things he

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>says about me, and gives me insight on why every

0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:47.799
<v Speaker 1>time he dates one of my friends they stopped being

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 1>my friend. He was going as far as saying anything

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>that you hear from my cousin, don't believe it. Just

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>completely assassinated my character, just attacking me and making me

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:02.240
<v Speaker 1>out be somebody I wasn't because he was a piece

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of ship, to say the least way, cheating, running around

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and always assumed that I was going to be the

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>reason why he got caught up instead of realizing that

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>everything you do when the dark comes to the light.

0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>So now after I'm aware of this is what he

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>says about me, I've just sense myself even more the

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.839
<v Speaker 1>girl that I was originally friends with that stop being

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>friends with me has been in the background all this time,

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and now she's pregnant, he's gotten himself into legal trouble,

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and she's going to be dealing with a child on

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>her own for a bit. I have history with that

0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 1>particular situation, not with the child, but with having the

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:42.040
<v Speaker 1>loved one go away because of the law, and I'm

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>battling should I reach out to her After everything I've done,

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I've lost two good friends behind my cousin, but essentially

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>those were not my friends. I've come to terms with

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>that also that if they were supposed to be my friends,

0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>they'd be in my life, and it's you know, I

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I take responsibility for still allowing him to be on

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>my friends, but I also understand that again, if they

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>were my friends, they would be there. I respect the

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>second one more because she at least was honest with

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>me about it, But I'm battling with the fact that

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the first one is carrying a child that is a

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>part of my blood, and then also knowing what she's

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna be dealing with because my cousin is going to

0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>be away, and I don't know if I should reach out,

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>or if I should just be like, bitch, fuck you,

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>this is your karma from five years ago, because I

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>told you why, it's not the funk with him. Help me, Jess,

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.479
<v Speaker 1>help me girl. Girl. First of all, I just want

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>to say, you sound just like Gabrielle Union girls. Where

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to God you got the Gabrielle Union voice. Hey, you

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>sound like somebody else, but that is not why you're

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>writing me today, all right, So anyway, let's get into it.

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I love your voice, by the way, girl, the raspiness, Girl,

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 1>I listen. I ain't weird and nothing like that. I

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 1>just love certain voices, girl, and yours is one of them. Okay,

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>So you can go about this two different ways now,

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and you would be totally within your right, well within

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>your right to pick either one. Now. The fact that

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>he does have a child on the way, and he

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 1>is by the first friend who was gonna be destined

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to get that karma one way or another. This is

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>still your blood. So I can tell that you're a

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 1>family person, you know, like you said, you and your

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.159
<v Speaker 1>cousin were raised as siblings, you know, and you see

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that a lot in families period. You know. I was

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:23.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna say black families. But I mean because that's the

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>only race that I've seen it, and because that's the

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 1>only race I am. But we do that. You know,

0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>my cousin London was raised as my sister. You know

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.359
<v Speaker 1>my cousin Terrell was raised as my brother. And we

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>are big on family, a very big family oriented family.

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>So I do understand that. Now, although you and your

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.120
<v Speaker 1>cousin are not as tight as you guys used to

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>be thanks to the females and all the ship that

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he does or whatever, you seem to still have a

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.360
<v Speaker 1>certain attachment. You always have him in your heart somewhere

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>because you guys were raised together. It's a lot of

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>history there now. Just wasn't regular cousins. Y'all were like

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:57.880
<v Speaker 1>siblings slash cousins. So I get it. That's a bond there.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just been tampered with a little bit, but it's

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>still nonetheless a bond. I know you would love to

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 1>see his child grow beautifully and you know healthy. I

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>know you would love to be there for the birth.

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I can just tell. I can hear it in your voice.

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>You love your cousin still and you would love anything

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that he produced and that and that would be a

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>baby and your first friend child. Now, listen, I ain't

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna let my personal experiences and how I feel about

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>it dictate how I speak to you with this situation,

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not gonna be biased at all. But Karma

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>was definitely knocking at her door. She answered it, she

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>got it. I would only reach out to her if

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it is only about the baby, just to be honest

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 1>with you, because females like that, they don't tend to change.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>And she was already grown when she made this big,

0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>gass grown decision at her big age. And then your

0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>cousin just moves so recklessly. He didn't never seem to

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>be serious with either of your friends. It's just females

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 1>that he was just fucking And you were forewarning these

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>girls and they're still just going along with it, you know,

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.600
<v Speaker 1>like all whatever, whatever, because I bet he find it's hell,

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 1>ain't he? I bet he fucking fine? Child? Please, But

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>what's significant about your story is his family. I get

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of relationships, stories and questions and and things

0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that I would advise people on, but this is family,

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>and so this is a little bit more delicate, you know,

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>because y'all are always going to be blood. I want

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>to know have you talked to him since he's been

0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in jail, because obviously that's where he is. You said

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>he got into some legal trouble in this girl. She

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>will be raising the baby on her own for a while,

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and then he has another baby as well, because he

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>had a girlfriend the whole time he was sucking with

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 1>your friends. Man, niggas everywhere. Well he was everywhere and

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>now he is in one place for a long time.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.960
<v Speaker 1>But um, have you talked to him? Has he written you?

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Has he wrote you? Has he you know? Is there

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>are there letters? Like? Because I think that you should

0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>speak to him first as well. I mean it's not

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>not to ask his permission about the baby, but I

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>think you should kind of bridge that gap to reconcile,

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 1>be the bigger person and kind of get through to

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>him a little bit. Like, look, man, we were raised

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a particular way. We were raised as brother and sister. Okay,

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>we got older, we went our separate ways, and you know,

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you started dating my friends, and you know you you're

0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>a womanizer, You're not really a loyal, faithful guy. So yes,

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I told my friends. I was forewarning my friends. I

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to see my friends hurt. You're always going

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to be my cousin. You were in a relationship, for

0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>God's sake, so I was actually trying to save you

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 1>two and save the damn girl that you were with

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>who had your baby. You know at that time, do

0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.119
<v Speaker 1>you walk around get one of my friends pregnant, wasn't

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>even with her. Then you fuck enough one of my

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>friends and the cycle would have probably still been going

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>on today if you were physically able to fund more

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.000
<v Speaker 1>friends of mine. I don't think you should blame yourself

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 1>for any of this, Honey. I heard you say, you know,

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it's my fault that I put him around my friends. Now,

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 1>all people are people, it's social. You could be around

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.199
<v Speaker 1>women that Nigga can be around women without sickeness, dick

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 1>in one. It don't matter. No, that's not your fault.

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>You're not his supervisor. You don't have to supervise his

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>interactions with women just because they're your friends. You shouldn't

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 1>feel that. I think you should reach out to him,

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Definitely have a conversation with him and just be real

0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and told him you have this baby on the way by.

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>You know one of my former friends, and I want

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>to reach out to her. I don't know how you're

0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.959
<v Speaker 1>feeling about it. Do you think it's yours? First of all, baby,

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 1>find out if because you know, these bitches ain't ship,

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe lie and we know what type of friend the

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>first one is, so we don't know. But find out

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:24.839
<v Speaker 1>if the baby is his, and see if he even

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>thinks it his or whatever. And out of the love

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>for the baby would be the only fucking reason that

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I would reach out to her. But to be honest,

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>if I can give you my like what I would do,

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't. I wouldn't reach out at all. I wouldn't.

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.480
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna get to know the baby, you're gonna grow up.

0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.040
<v Speaker 1>And then that friend may even have animosity towards you,

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>because nobody likes to meet the person that told them

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that they would be here one day and they're actually there.

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Nobody likes that I told you so. And even though

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 1>you're probably not that type of person, she's gonna feel

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.840
<v Speaker 1>that off the rip, and she's gonna already be probably

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:00.040
<v Speaker 1>bitter towards you because now she's in to such a

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>waition that she never thought she would be in had

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>she listened to her friend that one year she wouldn't

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.520
<v Speaker 1>be here but yes, it's out of the the cookie crumbles.

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>So only if it's about the baby, if the baby

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:17.080
<v Speaker 1>is his. But if not, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. But

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>check back in with me, girl, check back in now.

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>We got a commercial and if you click off of

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.360
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I swear I'm gonna beat your ass. Listen. Alright,

0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>moving on, guys, Hi, juss I had a question for you.

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:32.599
<v Speaker 1>I recently ended my relationship of a year and a

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.200
<v Speaker 1>half with a man. We lived together. We don't have

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>any children together, but he was very close with my children.

0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have any children of his own. But I

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>end up the relationship for a couple of different reasons. One,

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I had helped him apply for a better job because

0:10:47.240 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't he was working a minimum wage job, and

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 1>through that I found out that he was not a

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>US citizen, and so he lied to me about his citizenship,

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 1>which is a red flag for me because I'm in

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the military and that could have affected me and my

0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>clearance to I ended the relationship because over a year

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half, I never got to meet his family,

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>even though they're here locally, and that's a reflect to

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>me because I want a family who's going to embrace me,

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>my children and just the lying and all that. But

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I still feel so bad about ending the relationship because

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I still have love for him. How am I able

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to move on from this? Because it wasn't like it

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.559
<v Speaker 1>ended nasty per se. It was just I got to

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>a point where I couldn't accept what was happening anymore

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>because that was a huge lie. And then the family

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.680
<v Speaker 1>thing really threw me off. But my question to you

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:43.040
<v Speaker 1>is how can I move forward and moving on from

0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>this relationship. I could really use any advice that you have.

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. I love you and your comedy.

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh you're so sweet. Thank you girl. I appreciate that.

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that you love my comedy and also appreciate

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 1>what you do for your country. So with that being said, yes,

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 1>they're there's no way that he could have possibly thought

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to not eventually tell you the truth when he realized,

0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>like how detrimental ship could have gotten for you and

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 1>your family, Like you said, they could have affected your clearance.

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>That's a bold lie. That's a huge lie. Now, I

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.640
<v Speaker 1>do understand sometimes people keep these type of things from

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>people just protecting themselves from being broken up with or

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, from being looked that crazy or being deported,

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 1>or but you loved him. You know, you are in

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.520
<v Speaker 1>a relationship for over a year and a half, so

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>you think I'm gonna be with you and you don't

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.440
<v Speaker 1>tell me about this ship, but I gotta find out

0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>because I'm actually trying to help you work, girl. So

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.280
<v Speaker 1>what I would say, what could also be an option,

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.120
<v Speaker 1>is that he knew that the only way that he

0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 1>could be granted citizenship is if he could get married.

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that he probably wanted to you you, to

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.839
<v Speaker 1>marry him, really really fall in love with you, because

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>he probably didn't have any money because you obviously you

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 1>said he was. He was trying to get him a job.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, usually people come over here and they pay

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.480
<v Speaker 1>for someone to marry them so they can get their card.

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. I know lots of people

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 1>that has has done it. That's a real thing. But

0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>because he knew he didn't have any money, he just

0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>chose to do it the more fucked up way. And

0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he still felt for you. I'm not saying

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't love you. I'm just saying maybe that wasn't

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>the initial agenda upon meeting you, and you're in the

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>military and all that, because that could be the only

0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>reason why I'm thinking that this man didn't tell you

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>about that ship, like you and your family could be

0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>going through some ship right now because he didn't keep

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.440
<v Speaker 1>it up front with you. That's not good to even

0:13:48.520 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>put you and your kids at jeopardy like that. So

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 1>do you really love me? Was this year and a

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>half fake or what? Like? I need some fucking answers,

0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.559
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying? Like that, that is me

0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>speaking as you demanding for answers. They're like, just be

0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>honest with me. I already love you, We already did

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the work in the relationship. Is this real? Do you

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.240
<v Speaker 1>love me? Or did you just have a plan to

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 1>be granted citizenship and you use me to do so eventually?

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Because like you said, you want a family, So I

0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>know you have talked about marriage, y'all had to. I

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>don't even have to ask you that. I know that

0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>because you want a family, you want his family to

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.400
<v Speaker 1>accept your kids. You've been his girlfriend for over a

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 1>fucking year and to something that may not be a

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of time. That's a lot of time to me,

0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>especially if you're around my kids and and you know

0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>you know my family and I don't know yours. Yes,

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 1>that's a red flag, Yes, ma'am. Why the hell didn't

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I get to meet your mom? Why the hell can't

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I meet your family? What what he said to you?

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>You said they're locally here. Did he ever give you

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>an answer on why he hasn't let you meet them yet,

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>or he hasn't introduced you or even you know what

0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Have you ever talked to his mother on

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the phone? Have you ever even seen him face time?

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Just anything? If not for real, then my point is

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>proven to be true. He never really had any real

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:15.480
<v Speaker 1>mm hmm, any real plans on keeping you around once

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 1>y'all got married, You got that green called girl, that

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>boy was gonna be out. And I really honestly believe that.

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I really honestly believe that, because why the hell haven't

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.840
<v Speaker 1>you met his mom and his other family. I'm very

0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.240
<v Speaker 1>very sorry that you're going through this. I'm sorry for

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>you and your babies because I know that they've already

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>gotten to know him obviously, I mean ship they had to,

0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>they had to get to know him. I do want

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to extend an apology, like, oh my god, I hate

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.400
<v Speaker 1>that you're going through that and you don't deserve it.

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think that you should let it go because

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>it's already a year and a half of your time wasted.

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And the reason why because I know you love him.

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>The reason why I say wasted is because I want

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to open your eyes to what funk I think he

0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>was really trying to do. And I know you had

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.040
<v Speaker 1>to think it in the back of your mind, but

0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.320
<v Speaker 1>because you love him, you probably didn't want to face

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:12.120
<v Speaker 1>it that that's what he was doing, right that was

0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 1>his process the whole time. Like I said, I won't

0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>say he don't love you, but he definitely had an agenda.

0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>It was a motive behind all this love and this

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 1>relationship and all that. I think it's best for you

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>to leave, I do while you put a whole year

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and a half in it, and that is not a

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:35.040
<v Speaker 1>short amount of time. I don't think it's an extremely

0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>long amount of time for you to leave that ship

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.960
<v Speaker 1>alone right now, because imagine y'all could be five years

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>in and then this motherfucker's life and then it's the

0:16:45.160 --> 0:16:49.240
<v Speaker 1>way you found out. You found out because you were

0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to help him get a job, so he would

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>have never told you this. You understand what I'm saying.

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>You would have never told you this. That could be

0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>another reason why he didn't want you to meet his

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>family either. Now they might tell it and I'm not

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>here on it, you know, or unless the family was

0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.199
<v Speaker 1>down with the plan from the jump, come here and

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>meet somebody, marry them, and then you can be with

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 1>us forever or whatever the fuck. You know. I'm really

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.280
<v Speaker 1>frustrated that she's going through this ship, So don't mind,

0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.680
<v Speaker 1>my curson, and I'm very sorry about that. But check

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>back in with me. You are way way wait, wait

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.880
<v Speaker 1>to deserve and of something else, of something more than

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to be dealing with this. Check back in with me, girl.

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>If you love me, you'll listen to this commercial and

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:34.040
<v Speaker 1>then we'll be right back. That's some bullshit, y'all. Like,

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>I really don't like that. I don't like that for

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:40.280
<v Speaker 1>her at all. You never know who you're sleeping with,

0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You never know who you're sucking dealing with. You never know.

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 1>She was in a relationship with this man for eighteen

0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>months and he lied. Now what I want to know

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and she didn't tell me, was when she found out

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 1>was that recently? Was that when she just broke up

0:17:57.359 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>with him? Is that what she just broke up with

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 1>him for or did she continue to be in a

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>relationship with him? Because she says she just can't deal

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.600
<v Speaker 1>with it anymore, that means that she was actually trying

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>to deal with it. And you see what we do

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>as women. I can't say men do this, because I'm

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 1>not a man. I don't know, but I know women

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>do this. We often. I'm gonna say it right, I'm

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna just saying the way I know how to say it,

0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and then y'all can take it exactly how y'all want

0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>to take it. We actually will dem our happiness for

0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:32.159
<v Speaker 1>someone else's and I actually spoken this before in the

0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>previous episode. We'll dem our happiness and even be a

0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:40.440
<v Speaker 1>little miserable, a little miserable for somebody else to be

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 1>happy for our man, or our women, or our husband

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 1>or our wife. Like we we will do that. Why

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:51.240
<v Speaker 1>why why why? Why why should you being happy cost

0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>me any of my happiness? People make love difficult. I

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 1>don't really think that love is difficult. I don't think

0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.080
<v Speaker 1>that love is working. And listen, I'm actually contradict to

0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.680
<v Speaker 1>myself because in previous episodes I've said this, love is hard.

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Love is work. Love is no. Love is what you

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.919
<v Speaker 1>make it. It's not the love. And I was just

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.560
<v Speaker 1>talking to my best friend about this. Take this, and

0:19:10.600 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm in this episode. It's not that love is hard.

0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>It's about these people that's jumping in these relationships and

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:19.880
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to love and they're fucked up in their

0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 1>brains individually. So then when you try to go fucking

0:19:22.520 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>be with somebody, you ain't got yourself together. So now

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to offend for two and you mentally don't

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>even know what the funk you want or you don't

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 1>know what the fund is going on with you. You've

0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:36.199
<v Speaker 1>got issues that you don't even know you have, and

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't even see the issues until somebody else is

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:44.120
<v Speaker 1>there to ignite that ship in you. That's your significant other.

0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.200
<v Speaker 1>When you jump in these relationships, people don't know themselves

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 1>until they get with somebody else. Because people, you have

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to learn how to use people as mirrors. Oh ship,

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:55.680
<v Speaker 1>this is what I'm doing this? Why are you acting

0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.800
<v Speaker 1>like this? Because what I'm doing And then sometimes that's

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>even dangerous. That's why you gotta make sure you know

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:02.480
<v Speaker 1>who you are and you get all your ship together

0:20:02.480 --> 0:20:05.280
<v Speaker 1>before you try to be with another motherfucker, because now

0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that you're in a relationship and you're seeing these issues

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>now that you never even knew you had before, Now

0:20:10.080 --> 0:20:13.159
<v Speaker 1>you blame it on the other person because none of

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.280
<v Speaker 1>this was happening. I wasn't like this until I met

0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, you were like this. You just what, never

0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 1>with nobody that showed you this ship. It's deep, it

0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:23.560
<v Speaker 1>gets deep, it gets deep, and that's why a lot

0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:29.000
<v Speaker 1>of people need therapy before they get in relationships. You

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:32.480
<v Speaker 1>can't take two funked up people, put them in a relationship,

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and then now they go seek counseling together. Na, No, no no, no,

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:39.840
<v Speaker 1>because y'all just learning how to be together. You're not

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:42.159
<v Speaker 1>even learning how to be alone yet. When you know

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:46.280
<v Speaker 1>how to be alone, that's when you can fathom learning

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.520
<v Speaker 1>how to be together with someone else. If you can't

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.399
<v Speaker 1>be alone, that's scary because you ain't always gonna be

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:54.919
<v Speaker 1>with your partner. So what the funk will you do

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>when you're alone? You'll go crazy. People don't understand that

0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:01.160
<v Speaker 1>it's deep, and I could go deeper, but y'all gonna

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.000
<v Speaker 1>have to wait untill next week. And just like that,

0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:04.800
