16
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: doesn't he trust me? Remember that? Okay? Remember she asked

17
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: that question? Why doesn't he trust me? Dear Stephen Shirley,

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I need some advice. I've been with my boyfriend for

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: over two years. We lived together and we have a

20
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: two month old baby. We have a lot of issues.

21
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: He has cheated on me a couple of times, and

22
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: I've forgiven him for everything Because he cheated. He thinks

23
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm cheating too. I've been faithful to him since day one.

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: But before I met him, I had a one night

25
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: stand with his cousin and his cousin's husband. He always

26
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: throws that in my face, and I'm getting tired of it.

27
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: He should let it go. I forgave him for cheating,

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: so why can't he move past this? What should I do? Please? Help? Oh?

29
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: I was on your side at the beginning of this letter.

30
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: I really was. I was truly on your side. But

31
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: you know, I've changed a little because this is just

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: not the way you do this. I know this happened

33
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: before you met the guy and everything, but but the

34
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: fact that it was his cousin and then his cousin's husband,

35
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, that's that's what he can't get past. Um.

36
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: You know, And as far as cheating goes, there's such

37
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: a double standard here. I mean, you might be a

38
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: little young. I'm thinking you're young, and you may not

39
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: know like the rules. You know, the rules are that

40
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: there's a double standard. You we just can't do what

41
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: they do and they still have the same high opinion

42
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: of us. Is just the way it is. And you know,

43
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: you gotta get smarter here. Um, women are the worst

44
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: thing in the world. Two men when they cheat like this.

45
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: You know, yes, men do it all the time and

46
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: they're simply called cheaters, but women have I know, But

47
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: that's in his mind, that's what he's thinking because she

48
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: did did it with his cousin and then his cousin's

49
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: his cousin's husband. This is a crazy letter. Uh, you know,

50
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: she didn't cheat, but in I'm sure that's probably what

51
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: he's thinking, even though it was before the relationship. He

52
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: can't get that out of his mind because she was

53
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: with his cousin and his cousin's husband. You know, that's

54
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: the that's the bad part about this. So he's just

55
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's lumping it all together. Um, I mean

56
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, I can't I don't see

57
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: how this relationship is going to make it. You know,

58
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: you guys have a baby together. Now, this is this

59
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: relationship is in real trouble here because he can't get

60
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: past this, and I doubt if he ever will get

61
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: past this. I don't see it. You, on the other hand,

62
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: have to be an example for this two month old

63
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: baby you have, and so does he. I mean, I

64
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: would be happy if you guys try to work it out.

65
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: But it doesn't look like he's trying to get past it.

66
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: And it looks like it's because of the fact that

67
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: it's his relatives. Even though it was before the fact.

68
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: He still looks at it as you cheated. Ja. Yeah,

69
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: I just want to pick up one part of the

70
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: letter shirt. This is before I met him. Before I

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: met him, I had a one night staying with his

72
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: cousin and then his cousin's husband. He always throws us

73
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: up in my face and him getting tired of it.

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: He should let it go. Here's the thing, Shirley. Every man,

75
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: at one point in life wants to go to a

76
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: family re union. You have made it impossible for this

77
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: man to go to any family reunion. And here'sn't it.

78
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: What T shirt do you wear since you've been with

79
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: both sides of the family. What's your color T shirt?

80
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: How is your T shirt? Since you slept with the

81
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: cousin and the cousin, he can't go. Every man needs

82
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: to go to one at least one in their life.

83
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: You made it impossible past the biscuits. He's looking at

84
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: his cousin. You've been with his cousin. The man is

85
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: passing him chicken. You know what's going through his mind?

86
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Not chicken. It ain't chicken. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's about you.

87
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: That's that's that's what y'all got out. Yeah, yeah, you

88
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: know something. Y'all not looking at the fact or what

89
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: her strong suit is. She's good at two people. She

90
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, See when you can knock out

91
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: two people at one to look at her strong suit? Shirley,

92
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: all right, quit being so negative about what she was

93
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: not with this man. Okay, you have to look at

94
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: what she's good at doing. She's good at doing two people.

95
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,679
Speaker 1: Surely he's good at that. You'd like No, surely I'd

96
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: like to book her for some things I got coming

97
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: up in the Chee's good at it. Okay, At least

98
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: she kept it all in the family. She ain't just

99
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: running around loosely cousin and cousins house. Yes, that is loose,

100
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: by the way, loose are you're looking at her strong suit?

101
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: But she can handle two people at one time. And

102
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother her. She's good at that. You have

103
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: to look at what somebody's good. Surely, if you're a

104
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: thief and you're good at it, I'm gonna show your love.

105
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: You're a good thief. This lady is good at what

106
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: she does. And I'm the only one see this. You

107
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: always are. Yeah, you're about yourself. That it was his

108
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: cousin and his cousin's husband is for really to be tested.

109
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: But no, nobody's cheating, Shirley. If you think about it,

110
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: look at this. She she didn't cheat, did not cheat

111
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: on this guy. And guess the husband of the cousin

112
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: is not cheat because his wife is right there with him.

113
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: Makes sense to me. It's just beautiful passion, people, beautiful passion.

114
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: Beautiful passion. Yeah, did you did you? Did you miss

115
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: the part where it said that she had a one

116
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: night stand with his cousin and four before she already

117
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: killed him. She did. But the man you know that

118
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: would bother you. Come on, now, you are allowed, You

Speaker 1: with anybody, you, as a man, would say that. I

121
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: can't believe that. So I'm the only one hand one

154
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and I've forgiven him for everything

155
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: Because he cheated. He thinks I'm cheating too. I've been

156
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: faithful to him since day one, but before I met him,

157
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,439
Speaker 1: I had a one night stand with his cousin and

158
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: and his cousin's husband. He always throws that in my

159
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: face and I'm getting tired of it. He should let

160
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: it go. I forgave him for cheating, so why can't

161
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: he move past this? What should I do, please help.

162
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: This is a crazy letter right here. And she said

163
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: so much. We have a lot of issues. When she

164
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: said that lunch, it is especially you guys can't And

165
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: then you know, with the cheating situation, it's just such

166
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: a double standard. Yeah, it's just such a he and

167
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: he cheated in his mind, that's okay, she forgave him,

168
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: but he, like Jay said, can't let it go and

169
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: forgive her for something that she did before. Of double standards, absolutely, okay, absolutely,

170
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: And it sounds like she's kind of young and she

171
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: doesn't get that. You know that men don't accept women

172
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: doing the same thing as they do when it comes

173
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: to cheating when it comes to cheating. Maybe on the job, yes,

174
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: and and other things like that, but when it comes

175
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: to CHEA didn't know. I think she should do more

176
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: family uncle, Yeah, have you lost your entire mind? Your

177
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: entire mind. And he's over there cheating on and she

178
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: forgave him exactly. But but the thing about this is

179
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: though in all seriousness, they have a two month old child.

180
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: They have to get it together. It doesn't sound like

181
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: they're going to, but they have to get it together

182
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: for this baby. The baby baby can't see that right.

183
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: If the cousin in the hills is in the room,

184
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: the baby don't really know what's happening. Oh my god,

185
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: in the room. In the words and in the words

186
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: of ice Cube, the baby don't need to be seeing it.

187
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: Understand that right. Put the baby in the front room,

188
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: in the little pin baby don't know. The baby don't

189
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 1: know nothing. The baby, the baby. See, this is what

190
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: happens when you have comedians on the show. The baby,

191
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: I got a lot of uncles. What's cool. Yeah, this

192
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: baby is not gonna stay a baby. This baby is

193
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: gonna grow up. You need to set an example for

194
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: this baby. Mom, baby gonna start telling the truth. In

195
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: a minute, you know what, y'all going in the room.

198
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: don't let this go. He's not gonna let this go. Yeah,

199
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: So she may have to decide whether she wants to

200
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: be in this relationship or not. She's it sounds like

201
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: to me she's gonna have to get out because the

202
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: relationship is in trouble all the way. So he would

203
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: play ever bring this up? Yeah, he's never going we're

204
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,080
