00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like we didn't consistently stay together, but like we've.

22
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 3: Been together like for the past six for seven years.

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: Everybody around me know that's for me and I am

24
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: for her, Like it was no question about it even

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: when we wasn't together. Like, fuck with who you wanna

Speaker 3: fuck with. You know where home is at. You know

27
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But it just got to the point

28
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 3: just where it was like too toxic. So this last

29
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: November that just passed, I lost my grandmother.

30
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: She meant everything in the fucking world to me. Though.

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: This woman raised me, This woman took care of me.

32
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: She is like the epitome of strong Black women. And

33
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: I learned.

34
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: Everything that I know about being a strong Black woman

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 3: from her. I lost my grandmother on the ninth of November.

36
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: My wife left me on the seventeenth. Now here's where

Speaker 3: But I love my baby. That is my child, bro,

46
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,160

00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: was born, like watched him come into this world. There's

48
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: nobody on this earth that could tell me that's not

49
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: my child.

50
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: Nobody.

00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: I don't care there is nobody on this earth that

52
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 3: could tell me that's not my son.

Speaker 1: Man.

54
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 3: So I'm telling her, like, you know, I'm gonna be

00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: a better wife, Like I'm gonna be a better partner

56
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: to you, like all this other stuff. While she's gone, Like, bro,

57
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 3: she left me, and I'm telling her all this, right,

58
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 3: So I kind of told her like, yo, let's.

59
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: Try and fix this.

60
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 3: Let's let's put some effort in. You know what I'm saying,

61
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: Like I'm putting in an effort, like help me a little bit, please.

62
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: So she kind of entertained me for about a month

63
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: and a half, two months. I'm not gonna say she

64
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 3: put in the same amount of effort.

65
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: I did, perfect word, she.

66
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 3: Did entertain the idea, so like I can appreciate that,

67
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying.

68
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: But it just got to a point just where I

69
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: was like, bro, like.

70
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: You not even giving me ten percent of what I'm

71
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: giving you.

72
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. And I understand marriage is hard.

73
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: That's why everybody keep telling me.

74
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: Bro, And that's why I feel so wrong about this,

75
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: because everybody keeps saying, well, marriage is hard, y'all need

76
00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: to work it out, y'all need.

77
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: To work on it. God, been fucking trying to work

78
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 2: on this shit. Bro. I can't work whenever. All I'm

79
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: working with is a damn brick wall, you know what

80
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,399
Speaker 2: I mean. I'm over here working by my damn self. Bro.

81
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: So, like I finally just told her, like, listen, I'm

82
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 3: not gonna do all this confusion. I'm not gonna go

83
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: back and forth, like if you want to be with me,

84
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: tell me you want to be with me, and we'll

85
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 3: fucking work. I will put in work every minute of

86
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: every day. So side note, her and my sister are

87
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: best friends. I have not asked them to cut that

88
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 3: friendship because I understand that they are both emotionally.

89
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Supportive to each other and they need each other. My

90
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: sister's going through a lot, obviously, my wife's going through

91
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: a lot. You know what I'm saying.

92
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: I'm not asking either one of them to go through

93
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: that alone, for real, I'm not whatever. I'm helping my

94
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: sister move into her new apartment, and my ex was there,

95
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: but like they had this dude there that was helping

96
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: my sister too.

97
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: Like helping me lift the counsel and stuff.

98
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: Because I couldn't listen by myself and dudes start flirt

99
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: with my wife right in front of me, and my

100
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: wife started flirting back right in front of me.

101
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: So I fucking left, I did. I put the couch down.

102
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: I got in the fuck apartment, I put it down.

103
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: I left. I said, y'all figure this shit the fuck out. Now.

104
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: My sister understood while I left.

105
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: My ex on the other hand, started calling me childish

106
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: and y'all list and that the third calling me disrespectful.

107
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: I said, Bro, you're talking about disrespect but you flirted

108
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: right in front of my face. Okay, whatever.

109
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 3: So I basically told her, like, listen, if it's not

110
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: about our child, if it's not about pickups and drop

111
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 3: offs and you know, school and all of that, we

112
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: don't need to talk no more. For real, we don't.

113
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: And now that I have said that, just it's like

114
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: every time I turn around, she want to offer something else.

115
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 2: She wanted to talk about something.

116
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: Now we got conversations out to ask. We got to like,

117
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: where the fuck was these conversations whenever.

118
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: I was sitting here begging you for him, bro? Yeah,

119
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 2: Like I don't get it. Bro.

120
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: Now I'm not chasing or ask no more. It's like, oh,

121
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: why you're not chasing something ain't right now you want

122
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: to come back and everything is you know, now you

123
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: want to start paying attention and shit, And like.

124
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: I'm a real spiritual person, so like on the backside.

125
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: Of this, I'm sitting here praying God.

126
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: I'm begging God, like, bro, tell me what I tell me,

127
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: what it is I'm supposed to be doing, show me

128
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 3: the ways, like show me the past that you have

129
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 3: laid out for me.

130
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: Please don't like tell me you know. And I finally

131
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: heard God tell me one night. He said, Bro, just

132
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: give up, just stop. Just stop. That's not that's not

133
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: feeding you, that's not working for you.

134
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: To stop.

135
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 3: And then right after God told me to stop, I

136
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: start to seeing all these things, and I feel like,

137
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: like it's so confusing because it's good things. It looks

138
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: like it's good things or things that I want. But

139
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 3: at the same time, the Bible says that the devil.

140
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 2: Can come in me.

141
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.

142
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: I'm so caught, Like, there you go. Why why did

143
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 2: it take.

144
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: You so long to do the things that I'm begging

145
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: you to do? And then why as soon as God

146
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 3: told me to stop begging, why did I start getting.

147
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Those things from you?

148
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, but that.

149
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: Feels kind of manipulative, bro, Like I feel devil trying

150
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: to work his way in and I'm not really having that.

151
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: Just no, well don't that's what you gotta do. You

152
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: can't let him have it.

153
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: Girl, I know this is like seven minutes of bullshit.

154
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: It's not all of that to say, Am I wrong

155
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: for leaving a relationship? No, I know you're probably gonna

156
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: need some a little bit more contact, if you know.

157
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 3: If you do, just fucking let me know and I'll

158

00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 3: still come, but you can't.

Speaker 3: I can put gas in your car so you can

00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,719

172
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,720

00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: I've never in all the years we've been together.

174
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 2: I've never done that. But the other part of me

175
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: like this what I need to heal.

176
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, you're right, but just the sick girl like

00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for rambling.

00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 2: If you could help me, please do. If you can't,

179
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 2: at least talking to shit. You know what I'm saying.

180
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: Make me laugh about.

181
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: This sua oh girl, so I can get it up

182
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: out of my head.

183

Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, I just.

184
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, just just help me out, please.

185
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: I got it. Please please please, I got you, baby girl.

186
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: Hold up, Hold up, I know the ship getting good,

187
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: but listen to just a couple seconds of a commercial.

188
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: If you love me, you'll listen, Okay. So look, this

189
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: is what it sounds like to me. I know you've

190
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: been on off, you know, on again, off again. I

191
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: think you said on and off again or a six

192
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: seven year relationship. All right, but you know y'all got

193
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: you said, y'all, got your toxic wage, y'all. You know

194
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: y'all going through shit. No relationship is perfect. At the

195
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: end of the day, she stepped out and she cheated

196
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: on you and came back with a baby, not only

197
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: was that just her cheating, but to come back with

198
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: a baby, you know, you laid down with somebody unprotected

199
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: and you actually allowed yourself to bring a life into

200
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: this world that we didn't give each other permission to

201
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: go do. I mean, you guys both are women, and

202
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: it's certain becauss you have to take when two women

203
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: are trying to have a baby. You know, and I

204
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: want to know, is this something that you two ever

205
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: talked about having kids to get being married and starting

206
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: a family, because if so, how she did it was

207
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: fucked up from the jump. The way she went about

208
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: it was was super affed up. To me. That was

209
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: flag one portrayal. You know, you went and you went

210
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: and go lay down with a nigga. I don't know

211
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: if she's bisexual. I don't know if you guys are

212
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: just you know, lesbian or you know, you just going

213
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: one way. I'm not sure, but something tells me that

214
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: that was not the case. I'm not sure. You got

215
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: to let me know, give me that thing. I don't

216
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: really need too much contact. You told me everything that

217
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 1: was great enough for me to advise you afterwards. But

218
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: I just want to know if she when you met

219
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: her were you under the imperson that she was just gay,

220
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: or she went both ways, polyamorous, you know, bisexual, whatever

221
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: she identifies as. Did y'all clarify that. That's first, Like

222
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: I said, that's a red flag. She stepped out, brought

223
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: her baby back, and now you're raising the baby. So

224
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: not only does she step out with a nigga, she

225
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: stepped out with an aint shit nigga. Because that baby

226
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: has two moms and no father. You know, well biologically

227
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: a father, but has no dad. You know what I mean.

228
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: That's your baby. Can't nobody tell you nothing else? That

229
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: is your child. And I love how you are so

230
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: open to say that. You know, I stepped up to

231
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: take care of this child. You know, my wife stepped

232
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: out on me. But boom, we made it work. As

233
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: far as people saying, oh, marriage is hard, marriage is hard,

234
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: marriage is hard, I honestly feel like you don't talk

235
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: to married people about marriage. You do marriage your own way.

236
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's marriage is different. We got some fucked

237
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: up marriages, we got some hard marriages, we got some

238
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: easy marriages. We got people who don't look at their

239
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: marriage as work. When you look at it as work,

240
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: you get tired. Of because niggas get tired of going

241
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: to work. You understand what I'm saying. You can't compare

242
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: your marriage to a job. Although there is work that

243
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: has to be done, there is foundation that has to

244
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: be built, there are personalities that has to be learned,

245
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: there are compromising situations that need to be addressed, and

246
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: all that type of just's all types of work that

247
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: goes into it. But if you do it with the

248
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: right person, it doesn't really seem like work. It seems

249
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: like just something that you're working to make perfect. You

250
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. It doesn't seem like work. It

251
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: just seems like something that you're working to make beautiful

252
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: or working to keep beautiful and sacred and precious and private.

253
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: That's also the problem with marriage is today a lot

254
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 1: of marriages are so fucking loud everybody hears it. So

255
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: everybody now is in your business and shit, and you

256
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: let people in your business, and you let how other

257
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: people feel about your business fuck with you. You know, a

258
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: marriage is supposed to be between two people, and with

259
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: that being said, everything is inclusive. There's a husband, a wife,

260
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: a wife, a wife, a husband, husband, whatever it is

261
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: you both put in the equal amount of work. Like

262
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: you said, you felt like you was doing it with

263
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: a brick wall. You said, she entertained you when she

264
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: came back. She entertained it for a few months. The

265
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: y'all got back together and all that shit. She entertained.

266
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: That was the perfect word, because you were being tolerated.

267
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: That's what it was. She was just entertaining the idea,

268
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: just to say she did give it a try. Her

269
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: heart was never there now I'm not saying before. Her

270
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: heart never got back once she cheated, and once she

271
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 1: got you know, started treating you that way, and you

272
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: chasing her, and y'all weren't even together when you was

273
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: telling her that you would be the best you that

274
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: you could beat. For y'all, family, for that baby, for

275
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: your son, everything you know, all inclusive, like a family

276
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: and a marriage should be. She wasn't stunning it. She

277
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: didn't give a fuck. She was already out still doing her,

278
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 1: I bet, but still falling back on you because you

279
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: take care of her. You've always taken care of her physically, financially,

280
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: You've always taken care of even when y'all fell up

281
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: on hard times. If so, you know, you've always understood

282
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: what a healthy relationship was all about. And she didn't.

283
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 1: Y'all in two different spaces in your life. Y'all been

284
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: into different places in your life. You just couldn't see

285
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: it yet. I love how you're very aware. You're spiritual.

286
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: So God makes his children aware of the dangers around them.

287
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: He makes us, He opens our eyes to things that

288
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: we couldn't see before. See. This is why I don't

289
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: like to get the devil credit, because sometimes God will

290
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: even allow the same thing to keep hurting you until

291
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: you stop it, until you walk away from it. Because

292
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: sometimes we put what we want over what we need,

293
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: over what feeds us. And you said, God spoke to

294
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: you and said, this is not feeding you. Give up.

295
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: It's not making you. It's breaking you. Okay, it's not

296
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: filling you up, it's draining you. Okay. Another thing you're

297
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: not gonna like that. I'm gonna say you might have

298
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: to break time with that baby as well, because that's

299
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: her seed, that's her seed from another man. You watch

300
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: that baby be born, you help raise that baby, You

301
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: are taking care currently of that baby. But you may

302
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: have to break those ties because she's always going to

303
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: use the baby for manipulation. I bet you. I don't

304
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: need to know how old she is. I don't need

305
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: to know it. I don't need to know nothing else.

306
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: She's going to use the fact that you are that

307
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: baby's mother and you've been there since the birth. And

308
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: the daddy probably ain't shit. He ain't worth for half

309
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: a fucking penny, probably so, But she wants her child

310
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: to know what a family is. Even if she got

311
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: to force you to stay in her life by staying

312
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: in the child's life, she'll do that. That's not good.

313
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: That's not good because she's still taking advantage of you.

314
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: She's still using you, and that's not what somebody who

315
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: loves a person does not at all. If you love me,

316
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.

317
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: I want to tell you this. I was in a

318
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: relationship before with somebody who did the same exact thing

319
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: that she did. I had to break up with this

320
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: guy and stop chasing him and stop begging him to

321
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: be with me, stop begging him to love me like

322
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: I loved him. I had to stop doing all of that.

323
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: Fell back. I didn't move on with another person quickly.

324
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: You know. It took me a while because I was

325
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: still on him, but I let my dignity go a

326
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: little bit doing that, begging a man to you listen,

327
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: I know, you know what it's like, because you just

328
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: begged a woman to be with you. I begged a

329
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: man to be with me who knew he wanted to

330
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: be with me, but he was just so fucking prideful

331
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: with a big ass ego. He didn't even fucking realize

332
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: that I was the one until I left. I fell

333
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: the fuck back and I moved the fuck on, and

334
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: now you on my ass. Now you're in my ass.

335
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: Now it's like, oh, damn, she ain't chasing me. As

336
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: long as a person can look back and see you

337
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: chasing them, they comfortable. They gonna take their time any

338
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 1: event he looked back and you ain't there no more.

339
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, hold up now by myself, hold up,

340
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: hod up? Why the fuck she not chasing me? What

341
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: was this? Is new schedule programming? What the fuck is

342
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: going on?

343
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: Like?

344
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: What is this? It puts them in a panic because

345
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: they always expect for you to fucking be there when

346
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: they want to fall back on you, when they want

347
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: to be caught for the time being, and then they

348
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: want to run off again and now you got to

349
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: start the race of chasing them again. That's not what

350
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: we're doing. That's not what you're doing either. You're going

351
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: to take your own advice, because I bet you don't

352
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: even realize you gave your self advice talking to me,

353
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: telling me your story. You talk to God about it.

354
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: God came back and told you. You know, but then,

355
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: like you said, you felt like the devil came and

356
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: now I think that was still God. I think that

357
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: was still God, And in my opinion, that was still God.

358
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: We're not gonna give the devil no credit. Now we

359
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: know he exists, and we know that he played He

360
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: don't play fair either. But we also know that God

361
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: loves to teach us lessons, and when he felt like

362
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: we not learning, maybe he'll switch up how we learn.

363
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: He'll switch up the work sheet on us. Well, we'll

364
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: switch You know, it's a thousand ways of skin of cat, right,

365
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: maybe the first way ain't work. So, man, he gonna

366
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: hit you this way. Now, he's gonna want He wants

367
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: you to do it this way. God said, look, let

368
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: it go. Then she started acting great again. Oh my God,

369
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: you know blah blah blah blah blah, doing everything you wanted.

370
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: But God already told you to let it go. Right,

371
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: she came back, started acting crazy again. God told you

372
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: let it go. God said, oh, oh, you ain't gonna

373
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: believe me. You ain't gonna take the advice I gave you.

374
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: You still want her to keep treating you bad, to

375
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: keep showing you that she ain't shit. All right, cool,

376
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: let her keep showing you that you ain't shit. I

377
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: ain't gonna tell you again let it go. I'm just

378
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to make her show you that she should

379
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: be let go because God was trying to protect you

380
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: from further hurt telling you to give up. All we

381
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: gotta do is listen. I know you heard him because

382
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: you repeated to me what he said to you. You know,

383
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: but you weren't listening because you didn't. You didn't do

384
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: you didn't act on it. It wasn't an action. I

385
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: want you to really, really, really sit with yourself and

386
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: think about what you deserve, think about what you want,

387
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: think about moving forward, which you will tolerating what you

388
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: will not tolerate because you're not going back there. It

389
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: might be hard to wing yourself off that baby, but

390
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna have to do. You gotta break

391
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: tithes with Shorty because she she I'm not saying she

392
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck about you. She don't care like

393
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: you care. She don't really have a genuine heart for

394
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: you. You know, I think she appreciates you loving her child,

395
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: but I don't think there's anything there with her. And

396
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,239
Speaker 1: so I think you did great by even opening up

397
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: to me about this. You know, I give kudos to

398
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: all the men and women who open up themselves, you know,

399
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: to me and even trusting me. You know, y'all know

400
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: who I am. You know I'm just with the mess.

401
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: My news is real.

402
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: You know.

403
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm also known as clapback Queen. I'm also known to

404
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: talk shit about any and everybody, whatever, whatever. But what

405
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: I do want everybody to take from carefully reckless and

Speaker 1: about people. I really do. I care about people, and

408
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: I care what hurts people too. I'm a glutton for

409
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: helping people and giving them my personal experience because I

410
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: learned from all experiences. What makes me wise is other

411
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: people's experiences and seeing how they handled it, you know

412
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,000
