0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.119
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Carefully Reckless, the production of Our Heart Radio

0:00:03.240 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and the Black Effects, And just like that, we're back

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>on the air. Welcome back to yet another Carefully Reckless

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>episode with your girl Jess Hilarious. So this week is

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>part two of Just Fix My Mess Now. I had

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.080
<v Speaker 1>my fans and supporters and all the avid Carefully Reckless

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>listeners send me their inquiries for advice that they need

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>to send me your experiences from the past, the president,

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>or what you feel like you're going to be dealing

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 1>with in the future. If I can provide any fixations

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>for your mess, I will. That's why it's called Just

0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Fix My Mess Now. Y'all sent me some really interesting situations.

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>It was like y'all was trying to top the people

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:56.319
<v Speaker 1>last week. All right, everybody's name will remain anonymous. First one,

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>here we go. This is a man. Yes, y'all know.

0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I love celebrating men opening up because they don't usually

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>do so, so I love this. Hey, just me and

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>my girl has been together for quite some time. I

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>lost my job and she is in between jobs, so

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>money is tight. However, we still make it through for

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the kids. But she has a shopping addiction and she

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>always puts that first, What do I do? Because I

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>don't want to leave, but I will her priorities are

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>not in the right order. Well, I will say, you

0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>sound very responsible, and coming from a man, that's something

0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>you usually don't see. You know, usually the man is

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the frivolous spender. You guys spend your money on shoes

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>and all that type of stuff. Now, women, we have

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>shopping addictions, yes, But if everything ain't right at home,

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>if the bills are behind, if the children ain't all

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>taken care of daycare, school to wish and all this

0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>stuff ain't paid up, you have no business. No business

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>shopping now. Grooming is different, getting your nails on head done,

0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, looking good is different anything extra like the shopping.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>You said she has a shopping addiction. If she's in

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>between jobs, she ain't even supposed to be worried about

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>shopping at all. Then you said kids, all right, so

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm assuming that you have more than one child together

0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>and y'all live in the same house. Somebody needs to

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>find a job, somebody needs to work. She's in between jobs,

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 1>and you lost your job. You told me a bit

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that was a mouthful. You need to get a job.

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.120
<v Speaker 1>And she needs to get one too. You need to

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>sit down, an asshole, talk to her about this too.

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:33.360
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't, that's something that you'll never tell me.

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>You'all never tell me if y'all bring this stuff up

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 1>to them or not. So I don't know if this

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 1>helps you, but if you haven't communicate that with her,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>because it sounds like she's irresponsible as a mother and

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 1>as a wife or a girlfriend. She sounds very irresponsible.

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>And now it could be one or two things. Either

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:54.079
<v Speaker 1>she's selfish or she is spoiled because you've spoiled her.

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Now it could be a thing of when you guys

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>were up, when you had your job and everything and

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you pay the bills, and she had a job and

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>you provided everything, so maybe she could spend her money

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>freely on herself and shopping and all that. Maybe you

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that you were creating a monster. If she

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>has always had this issue, that's different. If she's always

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>been careless with money and very wasteful with finances, then

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that's something different. That's something that should have been talked about.

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>You should have been noticed that even before your kids

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>or right after whenever it started. But that is a

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>communication thing. As well. You can sit down and talk

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.679
<v Speaker 1>to her about it. If she disagrees, you make a

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>decision from there, because you always have to do what's

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>right for you first and then your kids. And I

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 1>know a lot of people are going to disagree with that,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>but there's no way that you can take care of

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>your children if you're not mentally prepared, if you're not right,

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're not in your right state of mind. So

0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.480
<v Speaker 1>you have to make sure that you do what's best

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 1>for you and then your children, and it's best for you.

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 1>It's not staying in How can I put this because

0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. I don't want to deem your

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>relationship negative or like put a negative connotation on your relationship.

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to do that. But you seem unhappy

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and very frustrated with this, and if it's not fixable,

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to do what's right for you and your kids.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully that helps. Okay, this is from a woman. Just

0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>My boyfriend wants to be a rapper. He has been

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>rapping since he was sixteen. He's thirty three now and

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>hasn't popped off with his career. We have spent so

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 1>much money traveling, booking shows and he never popped as

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.479
<v Speaker 1>an artist. He has little gigs here and there, but

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>it's not bringing in any money. I don't want to

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 1>crush his dreams. However, he needs to know how I feel,

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>because this ship is going nowhere. Okay, so you didn't

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>pose a question like you're asking me what you should do.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just gonna assume that you're asking me what

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>you should do, and what you should do is not

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 1>crush his dream but still be honest with him, Babe,

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 1>this is not working. I don't know how long y'all

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>have been together, but you said he even rappings and

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>see with sixteen, So obviously this is his passion. This

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>is something that he wants to do, whether he pops

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>with it or not. Everyone wants to make it. But

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>just because you don't make it does not mean that

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.520
<v Speaker 1>that's not your passion, that's not what you want to do.

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just that he hasn't blown yet. I don't know

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 1>if you will. These days, it's easier to make it,

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>but it's not easy staying hot. It's not you know,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you got TikTok and things of that nature, and rappers

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.679
<v Speaker 1>and celebrities are much more easier to get in touch

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>with Than to reach then back in the day, you

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>know Than used to. So there are ways that he

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>can make it. I mean, does his music suck in

0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.680
<v Speaker 1>your opinion, it's all about if it's good or not,

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>like it is it good? Because if it is good,

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it just means he hasn't met the right person yet

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>or met the right person that could take him, or

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't have a team. Is he doing it all alone?

0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Is it just you and him? Is he independent? Like

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>what's going on? I need a little bit more meat

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.479
<v Speaker 1>to the story. But I feel that you can be

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>honest with him without shattering his dream. You don't have

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to say niggati, sh it ain't working unless his ship

0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>is bad. That's where you have to be honest. It's

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>not being a hater. And a lot of people think

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>that if you disagree with something or you're hating, you

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 1>being a hater. No. No, but it's good to be

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>honest with people. No, this is not going to work. No,

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 1>this is not no, this is not gonna stand out.

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Nobody's gonna bump this ship in the car. Nobody is saying, hey, yo,

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>put on a little dug from down the street. He

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>dropped some hot ship last week. Now, if nobody's saying that,

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>then no, you have to be honest with him, that

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 1>showman girl, and you want to stick the sade him,

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>then stick beside him and tell him the truth. It's

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 1>not going anywhere, Babe. Do you think that you could

0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>step back from it and get a job. Let's get

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a job, and let's work on it until we Because

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing wrong with chasing your dreams, but you have

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.280
<v Speaker 1>to be able to take care of yourself while you're

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>chasing that ship. You can't chase it and end up homeless.

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>That has worked for some people. But if you are

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 1>the amazing girlfriend that I think you are, because obviously

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>you do support him, and you have been supporting him,

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 1>you're just seeing the of the road here, I think

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>that you could be honest enough to tell him, like, Babe,

0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I've been here with you, I've been in the gym

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 1>shooting with you. You ain't making these shots, all right,

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>So we gotta move on to something else. Maybe fall

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>back from it, come back to it, but we have

0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 1>to make something shake because bills are still here, life

0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>is still here, we are still moving forward. This is

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>not making us any money, This is not gonna you know,

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.120
<v Speaker 1>so you just have to sit down and communica again. Communication.

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Don't be writing me asking me nothing, just for me

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to keep giving you all the same. Man says the

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>ship communicate, but I love y'all, thank you so much.

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>Hold up, Hold up, I know the ship getting good.

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 1>But listen to just a couple of seconds of a commercial.

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 1>If you love me, you'll listen. Moving on. Hey, Jess,

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>So I just recently watched Couples of Retreat on v

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>H one. Had no idea you were on the show.

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>My situation is similar to Claudia and kJ I've been

0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.400
<v Speaker 1>with my man for four years and I want more children.

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>He already has to but he doesn't want anymore. He

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.679
<v Speaker 1>told me this when we first met, but as time

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>went on, I thought that it would change. I love

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>him dearly, but don't want to settle if I'm not

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>getting what I want. I really do want more kids. Okay,

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 1>I do understand, and that is a similar situation as

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Claudia is. Yes, but the thing is, you already have children.

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Claudia don't have no kids, so she's like she just

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>wants a child, like she wants a baby. Every woman

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.679
<v Speaker 1>should have the experience of having a baby if they

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>want to having a child, it's it's something beautiful with

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>it's multiplying, it's creating life, like you're making people like

0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean, Like you made a person

0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a person that that is yours and that will be

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>yours forever. It's something sacred about that. That's amazing. But

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>when you're in a relationship and someone doesn't want the

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>same thing and they do tell you upfront before y'all

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>even get official and become so in love and all

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>of that, he did tell you this. I'm not sure

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.839
<v Speaker 1>if kJ always felt that way about him and Claudia,

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, or just period, like he didn't want any

0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>more kids. But I'm gonna tell you this. Your boyfriend

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>told you so. It's really really your choice, and you

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>told me you thought that it would change. But it's

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>very seldom that you can change a man's mind about

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 1>something like that. Only he can change his mind, and

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not even effective. If he loves you enough he'll

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>give you a baby, it's not even that. Maybe he

0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 1>has reasons why he doesn't want any anymore. Now, that

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean he doesn't want you or the relationship want

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>to marry you. Doesn't mean he's not gonna marry you,

0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want you to be his wife. He just doesn't

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>want any more kids. And I know this is repetitive,

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>and I don't want to seem redundant, but he told

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>you up front, so that's the only thing I can see.

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>If these things weren't talked about and you guys are

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:56.319
<v Speaker 1>four years and and because four years is a chunk

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>of your life like that, that's not no little bit

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 1>as time and it hasn't changed. But he did tell

0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you still, so he really is against having more children.

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.079
<v Speaker 1>That's what we see. That's what we know. I'm so

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 1>sorry because I know you do want a baby, but

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy that you already have kids, so you have

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>experienced birth and pregnancy. You just want it with him,

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and you want more kids. I do understand. But sometimes

0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.199
<v Speaker 1>things don't work out the way that we want them

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 1>to work out. And that's just what it is. Baby girl.

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not telling you to leave this man, and I'm

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>not telling you to stay. I'm telling you to pray

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>about it. I don't know if you're religious. I don't

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>know if you're Christian. I don't know if there is

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a higher being that you pray to mine is God,

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 1>and I would literally just have a talk with God,

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and I would have a talk with him as well,

0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and tell him not to persuade him to have a baby.

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>Just tell him what you told me. I thought it

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>would change. I did, if you haven't already, I thought

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>this would change. I love you. I don't want to

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.559
<v Speaker 1>leave you, but I want kids. I know you did

0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>tell me upfront that you didn't. However, things do change,

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and I thought it it would change. Not that I

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>could change you. Make sure you say these things. Not

0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.079
<v Speaker 1>that I could change your mind, but you could change

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>your mind. You never know what life may bring. You

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.680
<v Speaker 1>never know how you're gonna fell in four years, three years,

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 1>six years, You never know. I don't know what your

0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>experience was before with the children. If you guys been

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>together for four years, and this should have already been

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.560
<v Speaker 1>talked about. If not, it's still fine. It's not too

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>late to go and talk to him about these things.

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Get to the bottom of why he doesn't want to

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>have any and if it's just dead end, it's dead end. Baby.

0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>You gotta move on if that's what your heart tells you,

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>or you gotta stay stick it out. Ask him about adoption.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>You know there are different ways. I don't know. Maybe

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 1>it's the pregnancy part that scares him. Just get inside

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>of his mind and try to talk and figure out

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with it. Again, communication, But thank you

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 1>for writing me, baby. I'm so sorry. I know she

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>wore her child. Because child. I want more to with

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the way these men is set up. Baby. Now, we

0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 1>got a commercial and if you click off of this podcast,

0:11:57.720 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>I swear I'm gonna beat your ass. Listen. Okay, moving on,

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>just I've been in a monogamous relationship for a long time,

0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>but my fiance complains that it's getting boring and we're

0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>growing apart. However, we don't want to call it quits.

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>He recently acts for an open relationship. At first, I

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 1>thought like he got me fucked up, but maybe it

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be so bad. What do you think, m Yeah,

0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>I see, I think a little different. I don't care

0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>how long we've been together. And this is just me

0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>speaking from my personal perspective. I don't give a funk

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 1>how long we've been together. I don't care if you're

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>getting bored and nigga spice it up some other way.

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>We are not bringing in another person to help us

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>with a relationship, because before you know it, you will

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>be alone and that bitch will be with that nigga.

0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Believe me, he already told you he's getting bored. But

0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>y'all don't want to bring up. No, ya don't want

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>to see each other with someone else. That's what that

0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.640
<v Speaker 1>is in my opinion, And I may be wrong, but

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>if he were to leave you and go be with

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.480
<v Speaker 1>someone else, that will hurt you. If you were to

0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>leave him and go be with someone else, as bored

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>as the relationship got and as far apart of y'all group,

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>he would still have a fucking problem with that. So

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 1>that's the problem there. Y'all don't want to let go

0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 1>because y'all do have so much time in history put

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>in and all of that, and I do understand that.

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 1>But people do grow apart. They do, and maybe you

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>guys just have to separate. Maybe you'll have to be

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>done with each other. Go do you he go do

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 1>him whatever and come back. Because y'all didn't even make

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 1>it to the married part. You said your fiance sweetie,

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 1>So y'all haven't even made it down the aisle. How

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 1>long were you all together? Ship? And he proposed, and

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.199
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden he's board. I don't know how

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.319
<v Speaker 1>long have y'all been engaged because black people got a

0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 1>motherfucking have it of proposing and then forgetting about a day.

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm what, just gonna be engaged for life? Like, no,

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that's that's not what we do. I think what you

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.040
<v Speaker 1>should do is you used to sit down and y'all

0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>should really be honest with each other. I feel like

0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 1>y'all are not honest. I feel like he's not being

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:17.680
<v Speaker 1>honest with you about becoming bored in a relationship. I

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:22.360
<v Speaker 1>just feel like maybe his heart is not there anymore,

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe his mind isn't there. Something ain't there, something that

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>is not gonne. There's a disconnect, there's something going on.

0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying it maybe with another woman. I'm not

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to put anything in your head that doesn't need

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to be there. I just want you to see and

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>don't play yourself and don't let him play you, because,

0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>like you said, at first, you was like, oh no,

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>he got me fucked up, and rightfully so he does.

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I love how open he was with you to even

0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>try to suggest something, so y'all won't you know, But

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.080
<v Speaker 1>it's like he wants to pass is like, uh, it's

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>something that it ain't right. It ain't right. Have you

0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>guys ever had threesomes before? Have you guys ever? You know,

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know that. It's just like,

0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that's not something that just comes out of the fucking

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>blue from a fiance. Is he already dealing with someone?

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 1>That would have me thinking like, are you already dealing

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 1>with somebody? But you're so far in here because we

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>are about to get married or were supportively getting married,

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>but you already got somebody on the side, So now

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you want to bring that person in And it's my

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>mind would be going, and it's going right now. And

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not saying that's your situation. So just forget all

0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>that that I said, but keep it in the back

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>of your mind. But don't you know, don't harp too

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>much on that. Just sit down and be honest because

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 1>that's communication. But that's also a bunch of bullshit to me.

0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 1>It's just something that's not right there. I don't know

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:40.160
<v Speaker 1>if you're not telling me something or whatever it is,

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.840
<v Speaker 1>but sit out and make him be honest with you.

0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 1>And if he cannot be honest with you, you still

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 1>feel that it's nothing, then yeah, you need to exit

0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>stage left quickly easily. Don't pass go, don't collect two

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>d go leave. I'm sorry, but that's that's how I feel, alright.

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 1>Moving on last one. Oh, this is from a baby.

0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I love this, and baby, I mean she's she's saying

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>she's seventeen. Okay, My parents threatened to disown me if

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I continue to date my boyfriend. They don't like him,

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the life that he lives, and the fact that he's

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.600
<v Speaker 1>not our race. Would you continue a relationship like this

0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>because I'm definitely picking my boyfriend. Hm, the fact that

0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you're a baby. And I'm not gonna ever tell you

0:16:24.840 --> 0:16:26.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't know what love is. You don't know, you

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>don't know what I mean, because it's absolutely possible that

0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you do. I'm not gonna tell you don't know what

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.000
<v Speaker 1>love is. But you have a whole lot of life

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to live. You're very young. You're in high school. I'm

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>assuming if you haven't graduated early. Now, what kind of

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 1>ship is this boyfriend into and what fucking race are

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>you and him? You? You left a lot of little

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 1>shit out. I don't know. I can't even make an

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.840
<v Speaker 1>assumption and say oh, she might be white and the

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend might be black, because it might be the other

0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.720
<v Speaker 1>way around. He might be a white boy and our

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.400
<v Speaker 1>parents is like, uh, he may be Hispanic, He maybe Asian, Russian,

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:04.680
<v Speaker 1>he might not be rushing. But but you know what

0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, he could be anything. So I don't know.

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she wanted to disclose that information. However,

0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I do feel like you should talk to your parents

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 1>find out what is it about him that they don't like.

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>And he could just be a bad boy that they

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:21.959
<v Speaker 1>see could easily influence you just by being around him

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 1>or his girlfriend or you know. That's so many ways.

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Like I was seventeen years old before I was a

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.120
<v Speaker 1>teen ager, before my my parents didn't like every little

0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.000
<v Speaker 1>boy I thought that I was gonna be with, you know,

0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 1>they didn't. And I also dated older when I was

0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a teenager because I've always looked older, you know, a

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 1>little strong in the face, got strong features, whatever. So

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I've always looked before my time, right, So I always

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.119
<v Speaker 1>dated up until I actually got older. I used to

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.199
<v Speaker 1>lie about my age all of that. Ship is it

0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that I used to date niggas in the streets. I

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:56.320
<v Speaker 1>used like it could be that. I'm not sure again race.

0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:00.479
<v Speaker 1>I honestly feel like if your parents didn't say that,

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 1>maybe that doesn't have anything to do with it. I

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.280
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't know. It sounds I ain't eve

0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna say what it sounds like. I ain't even trying

0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 1>to paint this picture like this. But to me, it

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>sounds like you're white and you got yourself a black

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.439
<v Speaker 1>boyfriend and your parents ain't feeling it. If it is

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:19.239
<v Speaker 1>about race, it probably just because he's black. If this

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>is the case, it don't have to be about race. Acthor.

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 1>It could be that he in the streets, It could

0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>be that he's older, it could be all those factors,

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>all those things that I just said I went through

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.199
<v Speaker 1>as a teenager. So sit down and talk to your parents.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I see that you said I'm definitely picking my boyfriend.

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 1>If that's how you feel, I can't stop you. Apparently

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>your parents can't even stop you. But you do have

0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.600
<v Speaker 1>to talk to them. They're your parents, and they have

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:46.840
<v Speaker 1>your best interests at heart. They're your parents, So sit

0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 1>down and talk about it with them because you're their baby.

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.480
<v Speaker 1>You know you're their baby obviously, And I love how

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.679
<v Speaker 1>you said parents. So you have both of your parents

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>still not a lot of young people can't even say that.

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:00.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's good that you eat and still have both

0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.359
<v Speaker 1>of your parents. So God bless you. But talk to them,

0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.119
<v Speaker 1>be talked to him for you get your lot as

0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 1>whip girl. And just like that, we've come to the

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.400
<v Speaker 1>end of another episode of Carefully Reckless with your Girl.

0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Just hilarious. Now let's just fix my mess that is

0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 1>the ship. I might go a part three next week,

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:20.439
<v Speaker 1>but I might not. I don't know. I might give

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 1>it a little rest because y'all. Y'all got have some problems,

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.920
<v Speaker 1>all right, But it all boils down to communication. I

0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of people don't communicate these days. That's

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.680
<v Speaker 1>been the issue with every story that I've looked at,

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.000
<v Speaker 1>everything that I've looked at, it just seems like you

0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.719
<v Speaker 1>guys don't communicate. So open your mouth, even if it's

0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a hard conversation. Hard conversations have to be had as well.

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:43.679
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong. You have to

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>be able to have hard conversations and marriages and relationships

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:52.359
<v Speaker 1>and friendships with family. In business, hard conversations you have to.

0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 1>You can't run from it. But thank y'all, I Love
