00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: So we do have a voice note today, however, it's

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: an update. I love when I get updates because sometimes

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: I be thinking people don't come back and like update

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: me because I'd be too hard on them, or they

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: didn't get the advice that they wanted, or they're offended

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: by the advice or what have you. But I am

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: absolutely thankful and grateful for you guys updating me all

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: the time. I sound a little tired because I am

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: tired child. I am sluggish as hell today, So let's

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: jump straight into it.

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: Hey, Jess, thank you so much for giving me your

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: advice and listening to my story. So I did exactly

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: what you said. I took my well me and my

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: best friend. We went out to dinner and I told

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 2: her how I felt about the whole situation and told

22
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: her you just gotta leave me out of it, and

23
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: She was respectful of that, and then she asked me,

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: is that why I have been pulling away from her?

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: And I had to say yes.

26
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: She was a little hurt by that, and I understood.

27
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: I ended up feeling bad after we left, and I

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: text her and I just, you know, let her know

29
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: that I love you at the end of the day

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: and I only want the best for you, and it

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: just hurts me to see you have to go through this,

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: So I appreciate your advice. Next question would be, I

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: heard you say I have to elevate.

34
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 3: My friend group.

35
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 2: So how do I elevate my friend group? Right? These

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: girls have been rocking with for ten plus years since

37
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: high school, some even longer, so I don't want to

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: just abandon them because they make shitty choices and men,

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: because let's be real, they all do. I have another

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: friend in North or South Carolina and she's been dealing

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: with the same dude and his BS for about the

42
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: same time that my other friend, and I understand if

43
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 2: I have to, but I'm thirty years old, so making

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: new friends is kind of hard for me. I'm a

45
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: thirty year old Aquarius introvert, so you know how that

46
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: goes ma'am. So just I guess I'm asking you give me,

47
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: give me advice on how I can help them elevate

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: without it feeling like a job.

49
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: Though without it feeling like a job.

50
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because you're not responsible or obligated to help

51
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: somebody elevate, you know, because at the end of.

52
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: The day, I just want these girls to be happy

53
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: and know their full potential.

54
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: But I'm not going to keep repeating myself.

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 2: And like I said and then first and the first message,

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't want to keep talking to a brick wall either.

57
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 2: But also I will feel bad just you know, abandoning

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: abandoning them. Yeah, so if you give me your advice, Jess,

59
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: that'll be helpful. Again. I love you, I respect everything

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: you're doing, and keep on doing a girl.

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much, boo. I appreciate that update.

62
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Okay, So basically, guys, this was a story a couple

63
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: episodes ago where this girl had wrote me telling me

64
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: that basically she had to pull away from her friend

65
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: a little bit because you know, she was just constantly,

66
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: constantly talking shit about her relationship to her well venting.

67
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry about how wrong she's being done in her relationship,

68
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: but she keeps going back, she's not gonna leave, and

69
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: the friend will give her advice, advice, advice, advice, and

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: she just wouldn't take it, you know what I mean.

71
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: And she she's still staying and still going back, and

72
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: so basically she just wants her friends to know their worth. Now,

73
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: I did tell you to elevate your group of friends,

74
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: not to abandon them as such. I know it kind

75
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: of sounds like that's what I told you to do

76
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: for sure, so I would have taken it that way

77
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: as well. But the only reason that I had told

78
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: you to you know, maybe it's not for you to

79
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: get some new friends or you know, to elevate, because

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: it started to bother you and your everyday mental and

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: how and because you are so loyal and so connected

82
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: to your girls, you know what I'm saying.

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: What hurts them hurts you.

84
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: And if you are going through this unnecessarily and it

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: really has no direct ties to you and how you're

86
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: living and how and your worth, because you know you're worth,

87
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, then that's kind of a

88
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: setback for you that that's kind of draining for you.

89
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: And I can see where it even leads to like

90
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: stress that's like secondhand stress that you're getting, you know,

91
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: from a situation you ain't even in. So that's why

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 1: I told you that, you know, as it pertains to

93
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: your mental you know. But I don't I want you

94
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: to abandon your friends, like you said, if we had

95
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: to abandon our friends for making poor choices and men,

96
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: then none of us would have friends. Almost none of

97
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: us would have friends, because that happens. That happens until

98
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: you actually find the one you want. I had poor

99
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: tastes and men didn't even know, you know what I mean.

100
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: But that's all a part of dating and figuring out

101
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: yourself and what you will take and what you won't take,

102
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: and what your standards are and all that type of stuff,

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: you know. So that's pretty much why you sound like

104
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: you were very fed up and tired of being sucked

105
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: into somebody else's bullshit where it was starting to bother you.

106
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: But if that is not the case, and you're willing

107
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: to still be around like I said, I'm pretty sure

108
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: I did say something like also, you can pull back

109
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 1: just from that part of the relationship of friendship, you know.

110
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anything about your man. I

111
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: don't want to hear anything about this, because you're not

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: going to do anything but go back so we can

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: we can actually we can still have this friendship and

114
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: be sisters, and we can still have our sisterhood and everything.

115
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: I just don't want to be involved with that that

116
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: part of it because I want you to see it

117
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: worth But you're just not getting it, you know, and

118
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: you'll get it on your own time. When a woman

119
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: gets fed up, she gets fed up. Maybe she's not

120
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: tired yet. And your other friend that you just spoke

121
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: of as well, they're not tired yet. You can't make

122
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: them be tired of what they're going through, you know.

123
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: All you got to do is just be that listening

124
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: ear until you don't want to hear it no more.

125
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: Then you are.

126
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely at liberty to say, y'all, I'm sick of this shit.

127
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear this anymore. Until you are

128
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: able to stand on your own two feet, put your

129
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: foot down, and get out of that relationship because it's

130
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: not doing you any good as a friend on the

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: outside looking in, it's not doing you any good. You're

132
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: more stressed than happy. Then you just have to proceed

133
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: with other factors of the friendship. You know. Now we

134
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: got a commercial and if you click off of this podcast,

135
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: I swear I'm gonna beat your ass. Listen now, you

136
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: being a thirty year old introvert Aquarius baby, I know

137
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: exactly what that is.

138
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 4: Like.

139
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: I have a brother who is in his late thirties.

140
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: He's an introvert and he's also in Aquarius. I do

141
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: know making new friends is not something that you guys

142
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: are seeking to do, especially not at you know, your age,

143
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: which is not old, but it's just a bit more

144
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: seasoned than a spring chicken. If you get what I'm saying.

145
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, because everybody gets offended when

146
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: you see when you use the word old or older,

147
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: like you know, it's just you're growing up and you're

148
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: growing out of those things. But I am going to

149
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 1: also say it's never too late to make new friends,

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: and you don't have to do that. You know what

151
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, You don't have to do that. There are

152
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: ways you can help. You can try to help elevate

153
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: your friends going in different settings. If they're in relationships

154
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: where they are not being appreciated and just being looked

155
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: down on or whatever they're going through, put them around

156
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: some shit that shows them what their worth is in

157
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: environments where they can thrive, Like put them in different settings,

158
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: you know, challenge your friends, get them out of their zones.

159
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure that they.

160
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: Have like routines that they do make them step outside

161
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: of that and whatever that looks like, you know, because

162
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you got it all together, but you

163
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: got some type of damn sense, you know, to be

164
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: calling out the realness and calling out the bullshit that

165
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: you see that they going through or seeing that they're

166
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: putting themselves through, and they don't have to go through it, you.

167
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying. So I do thank you for.

168
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: That update that was that was wonderful that you were

169
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: able to share that with me. And I do apologize

170
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: if I made you feel like you had to abandon

171
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: your friends, because no good friends are hard to find.

172
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that they're not good friends.

173
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,839
Speaker 1: Just because they're bad at choosing men does not make

174
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: them bad friends, you know what I'm saying.

175
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: Just show them who they are.

176
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: Try your best every time you can, whenever you can,

177
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: to show them who they are, you know, because sometimes

178
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people need a mirror to actually bust

179
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: through the bullshit that they've been taking, you know what

180
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So just keep pouring into your friends and

181
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: you know, getting them outside of their box, you know,

182
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: daring them to do other things. And I as an introvert,

183
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: that seems hard. It seems like a task, or it

184
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: seems like a job. But you'll find in yourself that

185
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: that's actually for the betterment of you too, that that

186
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: can make you a better friend, that can actually spark

187
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: something in yourself that you didn't see before, you know.

188
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: So keep me posted, baby, So we have a written passage.

189
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: Moving on to the next. Good morning, Jess. I've been

190
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 1: keeping something on my conscience that I'm not really proud

191
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: of and really have no one to talk to about it.

192
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 1: So I would love if you could help me out

193
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: with some advice. I just got out of a five

194
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: year relationship about two years ago, and it was because

195
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: of evolving in life and wanting different things.

196
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 3: Okay, that's fair.

197
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: Even though me and my ex are not together, we

198
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: still see each other from time to time and would

199
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: always talk. But the thing that I'm not so proud of, Jess,

200
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: is that he is engaged and also has a two

201
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: year old with the woman.

202
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: He is engaged to.

203
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: Okay the fuck lord, Lord, Okay, okay, you already said

204
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: you ain't proud of it.

205
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: Ain't gonna beat you down, all right.

206
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: Yes, I know this is fucked up, absolutely, and once

207
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: he moved on, I should have too. But it's like,

208
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: I just can't see him happy with somebody else. And

209
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, maybe he isn't really happy if he's still

210
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: messing around with me after two years of breaking up.

211
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: Hmm.

212
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: But I see that he posts her on social media

213
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: all the time, which he's never done with me, and

214
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: they just look happier than ever. He was the love

215
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: of my life and it sucks to see him be

216
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: the love of someone else's life.

217
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 3: Oh and what is more.

218
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: Fucked up is that when she calls and I'm laying

219
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: next to him, she still thinks that's the same man

220
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: that comes home to her every night. Mean, well, it is.

221
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: It ain't a different man. It just ain't chill man.

222
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I haven't saw him in about two weeks, and I'm

223
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: really trying to stay away from him, Jess, but this

224
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: is just too hard. How do I let him go?

225
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: How do I move on? What do I need to do?

226
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 3: Hold up?

227
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: Hold up.

228
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: I know the shit getting good, but listen to just

229
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: a couple seconds of a commercial with your you'll listen, girl,

230
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know it's probably easier for me

231
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: to say it. You know, Easier said than done, is

232
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: what they say. Girl, Get the fuck up and leave.

233
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: If you already haven't talked to him in about two weeks,

234
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: you're already got a head start on what you should do.

235
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: You're doing good. I mean from where I'm sitting, how

236
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: it looks. That's great. You haven't talked to him in

237
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: two weeks. That's a hiatus.

238
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: That's great. Extend that shit.

239
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: Don't talk to him for two more weeks, and then

240
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: try a month, and then try another month, until it's

241
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: been a year.

242
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: Then you look up and you passed it. You know

243
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

244
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: We have to stop minimizing ourselves, degrading ourselves, sharing willingly,

245
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: sharing men, because that's the thing you know about her,

246
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: but she don't know about you.

247
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: Okay.

248
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: Now, I'm not gonna say she's winning, but she thinks

249
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: she is because he ain't about to tell her about you.

250
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: But better believe you know about her, and he gonna

251
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: keep on fucking with you as long as you let

252
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: him keep his family and fuck with you when it's.

253
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: Convenient for him.

254
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: So you're giving him a bunch of power, a lot

255
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: of power over you.

256
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 3: Of course he's gonna have his cake and eat it too, girl. Duh.

257
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: He ain't gotta be with you to fuck you. Yeah,

258
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: he ain't got to post you to fuck you. He

259
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: ain't gotta like girl, what Yeah? I want you to

260
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: hear it, and I want it. It's horrible and as

261
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: like vulgar as it sounds, as bad as it sounds,

262
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: that's exactly how bad it is. You're sitting there being

263
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: stupid for this, nigga. That's what it is. That's what

264
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: it is. I ain't here to cad on, no fucking adults.

265
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: You know what's up? You said you ain't proud of it.

266
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't see why the fuck you. You ain't reread

267
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: what you sent to me and made your own advice

268
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: up to move the fuck on. And I'm sorry. I

269
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: am sorry. I don't feel sorry for you. I don't

270
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: and what I'm saying i'm sorry for. I apologize for

271
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: how brutal this sounds, and how straightforward and blunt this sounds.

272
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 3: I don't feel sorry.

273
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: For you, because how about if you were that woman

274
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: put yourself in her shoes as bad as you already

275
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: want to be in them. Imagine if that were you

276
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: and you had to find out that he was still

277
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: laying with a bit she broke up with two years ago,

278
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: and we got a kid together, and we're engaged.

279
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: You're posted on social media.

280
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: He ain't scared to let nobody know who he with,

281
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: who he's engaged to, the mother of his child. But

282
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: he's sneaking you around and you laying in a fucking

283
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: bed when she called you shutting up?

284
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? You laying

285
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 3: there quiet?

286
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: And they gonna have the nerve to say that ain't

287
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: the same man that goes home to her. That's exactly

288
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: who he is, the same man that you're sneaking around with,

289
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: the nigga that you used to be with. Let that

290
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: shit go because that them piss me off. I'm happy

291
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: that you were able to tell me what you're going through,

292
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 1: but sometimes we need to wake the fuck up and

293
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: we need somebody to talk to us just like this.

294
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm not here to coddle you. I'm not I'm not

295
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: here to it's gonna be alright. No, it ain't all right.

296
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: It been ain't all right two years ago when you

297
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: broke up. Yeah, you said it. Maybe I should have

298
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: moved on when he did. So you ain't in denial.

299
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: You ain't in denial. You know he moved on. You

300
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: know it, you said it to me. But you're convenient

301
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: for him. You're convenient. You let him do what he wants.

302
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: The fuck she don't let him do what he wants,

303
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: or she would know about you too. That's what I'm saying.

304
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: She's not winning either, because this motherfucker's cheating on her,

305
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: on his family with you. But you really in the dumps,

306
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: You really ain't winning because you know about it. In fact,

307
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: that makes you a fucked up ass individual because you

308
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: know about it. But he your ex, and you can't

309
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: let him go do a better job, do a better

310
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,720
