<v Speaker 1>episode with your Girl just hilarious. I'm gonn jump straight in.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>We got more voice notes. I love it, y'all, I

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>love it. Shit, I still got a lot of stories

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>to read, but I'll revisit that next week. We're gonna

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>start with the voice notes. Make those priority this week.

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.879
<v Speaker 1>How I'm gonna do it is I'll do for the

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>When I say you, guys, don't punctuate. I can read

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>through it and I can make sense of it unless

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>you just plain damn slow. All right, get your shit together.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>We're going to start off, jump straight into it.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:02.959
<v Speaker 2>Here we go.

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Jess, I just want to say I've been listening

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 3>to you since episode one of this podcast, and girl,

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 3>I love you.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I love you.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Reels.

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 3>I missed just with the mess, but I know why

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 3>you stopped doing it with your son in Chadwick, and

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 3>I respect that. But anyways, my mess is family related,

0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 3>and I'm gonna try to keep it shorter than it

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 3>really could get. So I have a cousin, and me

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 3>and that cousin grew up kind of like sister brother cousins,

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.440
<v Speaker 3>similar age. When we got to be older, you know,

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 3>groups mingle. I would date his friends.

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 2>He did if you were my friends, always was, you know.

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 2>That's how we went. As we got a little older,

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 2>it started to seem.

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Like he wanted to kind of shut me off but

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 3>still date my friends. So I had a friend and

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 3>at the time, he had a child on the way,

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.360
<v Speaker 3>and I invited my friend to a family event. She

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 3>met my cousin, unknowing to me, they exchanged numbers. Fast

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>forward a few weeks later, him and his baby's mother

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 3>fell out because she went through his phone and found

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 3>messages of him and my friend. When I approached my

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 3>friend about it, she kind of told me, basically, it's

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 3>ount of your business.

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I didn't tell you it's not your business, So I

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 2>left it at that.

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 3>From there, she kind of just distanced herself from me

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>and let it be known that she didn't want to

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 3>be my friend no more. Basically, she got what she

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 3>was there for. So that was the end of our friendship.

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.440
<v Speaker 3>My cousin and I never really mended things back to

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.640
<v Speaker 3>where we were, but you know, family is family, and

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 3>I still.

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:30.519
<v Speaker 2>Was around him hearing them.

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.800
<v Speaker 3>He meets another friend of mine, same thing, things go

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 3>left with them. She's actually a closer friend of mine,

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>and she tells me what he's actually says about me

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 3>when he's with her, the things he says about me,

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 3>and gives me insight on why every time he dates

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 3>one of my friends they stopped being my friend. He

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 3>was going as far as saying anything that you hear

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 3>from my cousin, don't believe it. Just completely assassinated my character,

0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>just attacking me and making me out there be somebody

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't because he was a piece of shit to

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.920
<v Speaker 3>say it the least way, cheating, running around and always

0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:08.959
<v Speaker 3>assumed that I was going to be the reason why

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 3>he got caught up, instead of realizing that everything you

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 3>do in the dark comes to the light. So now

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 3>after I'm aware of this is what he says about me,

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 3>I've just since myself even more the girl that I

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 3>was originally friends with that stop being friends with me

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.360
<v Speaker 3>has been in the background all this time, and now

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:29.360
<v Speaker 3>she's pregnant, he's gotten himself into legal trouble, and she's

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.040
<v Speaker 3>going to be dealing with.

0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 2>A child on her own for a bit.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:37.880
<v Speaker 3>I have history with that particular situation, not with the child,

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 3>but with having the loved one go away because of

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 3>the law, and I'm battling should I reach out to

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 3>her After everything I've done, I've lost two good friends

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 3>behind my cousin, but essentially those were not my friends.

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 3>I've come to terms with that also that if they

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 3>were supposed to be my friends, they'd be in my life,

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 3>and it's you know, I take responsibility for still allowing

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 3>him to be my friends, but I also understand that again,

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 3>if they were my friend.

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:04.520
<v Speaker 4>They would be there.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I respect the second one more because she at least

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 3>was honest with me about it, But I'm battling with

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 3>the fact that the first one is carrying a child

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.120
<v Speaker 3>that is a part of my blood, and then also

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 3>knowing what she's going to be dealing with because my

0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:19.919
<v Speaker 3>cousin is going to be away, and I don't know

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 3>if I should reach out or if I should just

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 3>be like, bitch, fuck you, this is your karma from

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 3>five years ago, because I told you I asked not

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 3>to fuck with him.

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 2>Help me, Jess, help me, girl, girl.

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I just want to say, you sound

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>just like Gabrielle Union girls. What a god you got

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>the Gabrielle Union voice. Hey, you sound like somebody else,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.679
<v Speaker 1>but that is not why you're writing me today, all right.

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, let's get into it.

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I love your voice, by the way, girl, the raspiness, Girl,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I listen.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I ain't weird and nothing like that.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>I just love certain voices, girl, and yours is one

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.240
<v Speaker 1>of them. Okay, So you can go about this two

0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>different ways now, and you would be totally within your right,

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>well within your right to pick either one.

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.160
<v Speaker 1>The fact that he does have a child on the way,

0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>and he is by the first friend who was gonna

0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.440
<v Speaker 1>be destined to get that karma one way or another.

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>This is still your blood.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>So I can tell that you're a family person, you know,

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you and your cousin were raised as siblings,

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you see that a lot in families period.

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say black families, but I mean, because

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the only race that I've seen it in, because

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>that's the only race I am.

0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 2>But we do that.

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:30.839
<v Speaker 1>You know, my cousin London was raised as my sister.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 1>You know my cousin Terrell was raised as my brother,

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and we are big on family, a very big family

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>oriented family. So I do understand that. Now, although you

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>and your cousin are not as tight as you guys

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>used to be thanks to the females and all the

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>shit that he does or whatever, you seem to still

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 1>have a certain attachment. You always have him in your

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>heart somewhere because you guys were raised together. It's a

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of history there now just wasn't regular cousins. Y'all

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>were like siblings slash cousins.

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>So I get it. That's a bond there.

0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It's just been tampered with a little bit, but it

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>still nonetheless a bond. I know you would love to

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.720
<v Speaker 1>see his child grow beautifully and you know healthy. I

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>know you would love to be there for the birth.

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:08.119
<v Speaker 1>I can just tell.

0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>I can hear it in your voice.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>You love your cousin still and you would love anything

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that he produced, and that would be a baby and

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 1>your first friend child now listen, I ain't gonna let

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>my personal experiences and how I feel about it dictate

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>how I speak to you with this situation, because I'm

0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.599
<v Speaker 1>not going to be biased at all. But Karma was

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>definitely knocking at her door. She answered it, she got it.

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I would only reach out to her if it is

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.320
<v Speaker 1>only about the baby, just to be honest with you,

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>because females like that, they don't tend to change. And

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>she was already grown when she made this big ass

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>grown decision at her big age. And then your cousin

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>just moves so recklessly. Hey didn't ever seem to be

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>serious with either of your friends. It's just females that

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>he was just fucking and you are forewarning these girls,

0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and they're still just going along with it, you know, like,

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.680
<v Speaker 1>oh whatever, whatever, because I bet he find is hell

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.239
<v Speaker 1>any I bet he fucking fine.

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Child.

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Please, But what's significant about your story is his family.

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I get a lot of relationship stories and questions and

0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>things that I would advise people on, but this is family,

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and so this is a little bit more delicate, you know,

0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:20.240
<v Speaker 1>because y'all are always gonna be blood. I want to

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>know have you talked to him since he's been in jail,

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.800
<v Speaker 1>because obviously that's where he is. You said he got

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>into some legal trouble in this girl. She will be

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>raising the baby on her own for a while, and

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>then he has another baby as well, because he had

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 1>a girlfriend the whole time he was fucking with your friends. Man,

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.400
<v Speaker 1>this nigga's everywhere. Well he was everywhere. Now he is

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 1>in one place for a long time. But have you

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 1>talked to him? Has he written you? Has he wrote you?

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Has he you know? Is there other letters? Like?

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Because I think that you should speak to him first

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>as well. I mean it's not not to ask his

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 1>permission about the baby, but I think you should kind

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of bridge that gap to reconcile, be the bigger person,

0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and kind of get through to him a little bit. Like, look, man,

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>we were raised a particular way. We were raised as

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>brother and sister. Okay, we got older, we went our

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>separate ways, and you know, you started dating my friends,

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>and you know you're a womanizer, You're not really a loyal,

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 1>faithful guy. So yes, I told my friends. I was

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>forewarning my friends. I didn't want to see my friends hurt.

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>You're always going to be my cousin. You were in

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>a relationship, for God's sake, So I was actually trying

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:25.440
<v Speaker 1>to save you too, and save the damn girl that

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you were with who had your baby.

0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:28.480
<v Speaker 2>You know at that.

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Time, did you fuck around get one of my friends pregnant,

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 1>wasn't even win her, then you fuck another one of

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>my friends and the cycle would have probably still been

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>going on today if you were physically able to fuck

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>more friends of mine. I don't think you should blame

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>yourself for any of this, Honey. I heard you say,

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>you know it's my fault that I put him around

0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:45.959
<v Speaker 1>my friends.

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 2>No, people are people, it's social. You could be.

0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Around women that Nigga can be around women without sick

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and is dick and one.

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 2>It don't matter. No, that's not your fault. You're not

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 2>his supervisor.

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You don't have to supervise his interactions with women just

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're your friends. You shouldn't feel that way. I

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>think you should reach out to him, Definitely have a

0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.559
<v Speaker 1>conversation with him and just be real and tell him

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you have this baby on the way by. You know

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>one of my former friends, and I want to reach

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.160
<v Speaker 1>out to her. I don't know how you're feeling about it,

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>do you think it's yours. First of all, baby, find

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 1>out if it's because you know these bitches they ain't

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>shit and maybe lying, and we know what type of

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>friend the first one is, so we don't know. But

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>find out if the baby is his, or see if

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.200
<v Speaker 1>he even thinks it his or whatever. And out of

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the love for the baby would be the only fucking

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>reason that I would reach out to her. But to

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.800
<v Speaker 1>be honest, if I can give you my like what

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I would do, I wouldn't. I wouldn't reach out at all.

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't. You're gonna get to know the baby, you're

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna grow up.

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And then that friend may even have animosity toward you,

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>because nobody likes to meet the person that told them

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that they would be here one day and they're actually there.

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Nobody likes that I told you so.

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.160
<v Speaker 1>And even though you're probably not that type of person,

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 1>she gonna fill that off the rip and she's gonna

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 1>already be probably bitter toward you because now she's in

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a such that she never thought she would be in

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>had she listened to her friend that one year, she

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be here. But it's aside, the cookie crumbles, So

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.680
<v Speaker 1>only if it's about the baby if the baby is his.

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.600
<v Speaker 2>But if not, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. But check back

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 2>in with me, girl, check back in now.

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>We got a commercial and if you click off of

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I swear I'm an beat your ass.

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Listen. All right, Moving on, guys.

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 4>Hi, Jess, I had a question for you. I recently

0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 4>ended my relationship of a year and a half with

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:36.280
<v Speaker 4>a man. We lived together. We don't have any children together,

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 4>but he was very close with my children. He didn't

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 4>have any children of his own. But I ended the

0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:45.079
<v Speaker 4>relationship for a couple of different reasons. One I had

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.439
<v Speaker 4>helped him apply for a better job because he was

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.920
<v Speaker 4>working a minimum wage job, and through that I found

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 4>out that he was not a US citizen, and so

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 4>he lied to me about his citizenship, which is a

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 4>red flag for me because I'm in the military, could

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:03.319
<v Speaker 4>have affected me and my clearance to I ended the

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.760
<v Speaker 4>relationship because over a year and a half, I never

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 4>got to meet his family, even though they're here locally.

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 4>And that's what I reflected to me, because I want

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 4>a family who's going to embrace me my children and

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 4>just the lying and all that. But I still feel

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 4>so bad about ending the relationship because I still have

0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 4>love for him. How am I able to move on

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 4>from this? Because it wasn't like it ended nasty per se.

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 4>It just I got to a point where I couldn't

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 4>accept what was happening anymore because that was a huge lie.

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 4>And then the family thing really threw me off. But

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 4>my question to you is how can I move forward

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 4>and moving on from this relationship? I could really use

0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 4>any advice that you have. Thank you so much. I

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 4>love you and your comedy.

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh you're so sweet. Thank you girl. I appreciate that.

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate that you love my comedy and also appreciate

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 1>what you do for your country. So with that being said, yes,

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>there's no way that he could have possibly thought to

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:08.840
<v Speaker 1>not eventually tell you the truth when he realized, like

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>how detrimental shit could have gotten for you and your family,

0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Like you said, they could have affected your clearance.

0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.199
<v Speaker 2>That's a bold lie. That's a huge lie.

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, I do understand sometimes people keep these type of

0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>things from people just protecting themselves from being broken up

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>with or you know, from being looked that crazy or

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>being deported or but you loved him, you know, y'all

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>are in a relationship for over a year and a half,

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>So you think I'm gonna be with you and you

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 1>don't tell me about this shit, but I gotta find

0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 1>out because I'm actually trying to.

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Help you work, girl.

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>So what I would say, what could also be an option,

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>is that he knew that the only way that he

0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.800
<v Speaker 1>could be grants a citizenship is if he could get married.

0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that he probably wanted to you, who's you

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to marry him?

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.440
<v Speaker 2>Really really fall in love with you.

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Because he probably didn't have any money, because you obviously

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.240
<v Speaker 1>you said he was trying to get him a job.

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, usually people come over here and they pay

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>for someone to marry them so they can get their card.

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. I know lots of people

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:21.079
<v Speaker 1>that has done it. That's a real thing. But because

0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>he knew he didn't have any money, he just chose

0:13:23.240 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>to do it the more fucked up way. And I

0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 1>think he still fell for you. I'm not saying you

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>don't love you. I'm just saying maybe that wasn't the

0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>initial agenda upon meeting you and you're in the military

0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and all that, because that could be the only reason

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.320
<v Speaker 1>why I'm thinking that this man didn't tell you about

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.040
<v Speaker 1>that shit, Like you and your family could be going

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 1>through some shit right now because he didn't keep it

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 1>upfront with you. That's not good to even put you

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>and your kids at jeopardy like that.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.439
<v Speaker 2>So do you really love me? Was this year and

0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 2>a half fake? Or what? Like? I need some fucking answers,

0:13:57.559 --> 0:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying? Like that? That is me speaking?

0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Is you demanding for answers? There?

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Like, just be honest with me. I already love you,

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>We already did the work in the relationship.

0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Is this real? Do you love me?

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Or did you just have a plan to be granted

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 1>citizenship and you use me to do so eventually? Because,

0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you want a family, So I know

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.080
<v Speaker 1>y'all have talked about marriage. Y'all had to. I don't

0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 1>even have to ask you that. I know that because

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you want a family, you want his family to accept

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>your kids. You've been his girlfriend for over a fucking

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>year and to some that may not be a lot

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>of time. That's a lot of time to me, especially

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>if you're around my kids and you know, you know

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>my family and I don't know yours. Yes, that's a

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 1>red flag, Yes, ma'am. Why the hell did not get

0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>to meet your mom? Why the hell can I meet

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>your family? Would he say to you you said they're

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.560
<v Speaker 1>locally here. Did he ever give you an answer on

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>why he hasn't let you meet them yet, or he

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 1>hasn't introduced you or even you know what I'm saying.

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever talked to his mother on the phone?

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever even seen him FaceTime? Just anything? If

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>not for real, then my point is proven to be true.

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>He never really had any real, any real plans on

0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 1>keeping you around once y'all got married. You got that

0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 1>green call girl, that boy was gonna be out. And

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.360
<v Speaker 1>I really honestly believe that. I really honestly believe that,

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 1>because why the hell haven't you met his mom and

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>his other family. I'm very very sorry that you're going

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.520
<v Speaker 1>through this. I'm sorry for you and your babies because

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I know that they've already gotten to know him obviously,

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean shit, they had to, they had to get

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to know him. I do want to extend an apology, like,

0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I hate that you're going through that,

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and you don't deserve it, but I think that you

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:49.080
<v Speaker 1>should let it go because it's already a year and

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.440
<v Speaker 1>a half of your time wasted.

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why because I know you love him.

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 1>The reason why I say wasted is because I want

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>to open your eyes to what the fuck I think

0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>he was really trying to do. And I know you

0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 1>had to think it in the back of your mind,

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 1>but because you love him, you probably didn't want to

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>face it. 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

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>say he don't love you, but he definitely had an agenda.

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>It was a motive behind all this love and this

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.680
<v Speaker 2>relationship and all that.

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's best for you to leave, I do

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>while you put a whole year and a half in it,

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and that is not a short amount of time. I

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's an extremely long amount of time for

0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 1>you to leave that shit alone right now, because imagine

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 1>y'all could be five years in and then this motherfuckers,

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and then it's the way you found out. You found

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.560
<v Speaker 1>out because you were trying to help him get a job,

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:51.760
<v Speaker 1>So he would have never told you this.

0:16:51.880 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 2>You understand what I'm saying.

0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>You would have never told you this. That could be

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 1>another reason why he didn't want you to meet his family.

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Either oh, now, they might tell it that I'm not

0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.040
<v Speaker 1>here on it, you know, or unless the family was

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>down with the plan from the jump. Come hear meet somebody,

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>marry them and then you can be with us forever

0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 1>or whatever the fuck. You know, I'm really frustrated that

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>you're going through this shit, So don't mind my cursing,

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'm very sorry about that. But check back in

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 1>with me. You are way, way, way way to deserving

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 1>of something else, of something more than to be dealing

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.679
<v Speaker 1>with this. Check back in with me, girl. If you

0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:29.160
<v Speaker 1>love me, you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll

0:17:29.160 --> 0:17:35.080
<v Speaker 1>be right back. That's some bullshit, y'all. Like I really

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.360
<v Speaker 1>don't like that. I don't like that for her at all.

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.120
<v Speaker 1>You never know who you're sleeping with. You never know

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 1>who you're fucking dealing with.

0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 2>You never know.

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:47.159
<v Speaker 1>She was in a relationship with this man for eighteen

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:50.879
<v Speaker 1>months and he lied. Now what I want to know

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and she didn't tell me, was when she found out

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.359
<v Speaker 1>was that recently? Was that when she just broke out

0:17:57.400 --> 0:17:58.840
<v Speaker 1>with him? Is that what she just broke up with

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.840
<v Speaker 1>him for? Or did she continue to be in a

0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:04.320
<v Speaker 1>relationship with him? Because she said she just can't deal

0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:06.679
<v Speaker 1>with it anymore. That means that she was actually trying

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to deal with it. And you see what we do

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>as women. I can't say men do this, because I'm

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>not a man. I don't know, but I know women

0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>do this. We often. I'm not gonna say it right,

0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm just say it the way I'm not to say it,

0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and then y'all can take it exactly how y'all want

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>to take it. We actually will dim our happiness for

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 1>someone else's. And I actually spoke on this before in

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.240
<v Speaker 1>the previous episode. We'll dim our happiness and even be

0:18:36.280 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 1>a little miserable, a little miserable for somebody else to

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.239
<v Speaker 1>be happy for our man, or our women, or our

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.120
<v Speaker 1>husband or our wife, like, we will do that. Why

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 1>why why why why should you being happy cost me

0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 1>any of my happiness? People make love difficult. I don't

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.399
<v Speaker 1>really think that love is difficult. I don't think that

0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.560
<v Speaker 1>love is working. And listen, I'm actually constrad to myself

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 1>because in previous episodes I've said this, love is hard,

0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 1>love is work, love is no, love is what you

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.920
<v Speaker 1>make it. It's not the love. And I was just

0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.639
<v Speaker 1>talking to my best friend about this. Take this and

0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm in this episode. It's not that love is hard.

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 1>It's about these people that's jumping in these relationships and

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:19.920
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to love and they're fucked up in their

0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:22.560
<v Speaker 1>brains individually. So then when you try to go fucking

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 1>be with somebody, nied got yourself together. So now you're

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to fend for two and you mentally don't even

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.520
<v Speaker 1>know what the fuck you want or you don't know

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:32.360
<v Speaker 1>what the fuck.

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Is going on with you.

0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:35.600
<v Speaker 1>You got issues that you don't even know you have,

0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:40.080
<v Speaker 1>and you don't even see the issues until somebody else

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>is there to ignite that shit in you.

0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.160
<v Speaker 2>That's your significant other.

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:47.240
<v Speaker 1>When you jump in these relationships, people don't know themselves

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 1>until they get with somebody else. Because people, you have

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to learn how to use people as mirrors. Oh shit,

0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:55.640
<v Speaker 1>this is what I'm doing. This is why you act

0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>like this because what I'm doing and then sometimes that's

0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:00.439
<v Speaker 1>even dangerous. Thats why you gotta be make sure you

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>know who you are and you get all your shit

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:04.800
<v Speaker 1>together before you try to be with another motherfucker, because

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.000
<v Speaker 1>now that you're in a relationship and you're seeing these

0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.360
<v Speaker 1>issues now that you never even knew you had before.

0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Now you blaming it on the other person because none

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of this was happening.

0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't like this until I met you. No, you

0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:17.360
<v Speaker 2>were like this. You just wasn't.

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Never with nobody that showed you this shit. It's deep,

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.280
<v Speaker 1>It gets deep, It gets deep, and that's why a

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of people need therapy before they get in relationships.

0:20:28.960 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 1>You can't take too fucked up people put them in

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>a relationship, and then now they go seek counseling together. Nah, none, no, no,

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:39.919
<v Speaker 1>because y'all just learning how to be together. Y'all not

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:41.159
<v Speaker 1>even learning how to be alone.

0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Yet.

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 1>When you know how to be alone, that's when you

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:48.639
<v Speaker 1>can fathom learning how to be together with someone else.

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>If you can't be alone, that's scary because you ain't

0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:54.200
<v Speaker 1>always gonna be with your partner, So what the fuck

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 1>will you do when you're alone?

0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:57.120
<v Speaker 2>You'll go crazy.

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>People don't understand that it's deep, and I could go deeper,

0:21:00.680 --> 0:21:02.399
<v Speaker 1>but y'all gonna have to wait till next week. And

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.080
