<v Speaker 3>I am twenty three years old and fixing and get

<v Speaker 3>a divorce. Let me tell you why.

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.680
<v Speaker 2>And like really, I just need to.

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Know if I'm wrong, because I kind of feel like

0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.839
<v Speaker 3>I am, but I might not be, you know, so

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 3>I want to give myself the benefit of the doubt.

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 2>So here's what happened.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.840
<v Speaker 3>Been in the same relationship with the same girl six

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 3>going on seven years.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean we've been on and off, you know what

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying, Like we didn't consistently stay together, but like we've.

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 3>Been together like for the past six for seven years.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Everybody around me know that's for me and I am

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 3>for her, Like it was no question about it even

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 3>when we wasn't together. Like, fuck with who you wanna

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 3>fuck with. You know where home is at. You know

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying. But it just got to the point

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 3>just where it was like too toxic. So this last

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 3>November that just passed, I lost my grandmother.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>She meant everything in the fucking world to me. Though.

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>This woman raised me, This woman took care of me.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 2>She is like the epitome of strong Black women. And

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 2>I learned.

0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.520
<v Speaker 3>Everything that I know about being a strong Black woman

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 3>from her. I lost my grandmother on the ninth of November.

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.360
<v Speaker 3>My wife left me on the seventeenth. Now here's where

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 3>shit starts to get juicy. Right whole time my wife

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>left me, I'm telling her, like, baby, listen, I'm gonna

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 3>do everything I can to make this right.

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Like I'm gonna figure out how to be a good

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>wife for you.

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna figure out how to be a good mom.

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh because mind you, she like cheated on me and

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>had a baby.

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 3>But I love my baby. That is my child, bro,

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 3>Like I was. I was in the room when he

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 3>was born, like watched him come into this world. There's

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 3>nobody on this earth that could tell me that's not

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 3>my child.

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Nobody.

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't care there is nobody on this earth that

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:08.239
<v Speaker 3>could tell me that's not my son.

0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 3>So I'm telling her, like, you know, I'm gonna be

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 3>a better wife, Like I'm gonna be a better partner

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 3>to you, like all this other stuff. While she's gone, Like, bro,

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 3>she left me, and I'm telling her all this, right,

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:21.360
<v Speaker 3>So I kind of told her like, yo, let's.

0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Try and fix this.

0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's let's put some effort in. You know what I'm saying,

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 3>Like I'm putting in an effort, like help me a little bit, please.

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 3>So she kind of entertained me for about a month

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 3>and a half, two months. I'm not gonna say she

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 3>put in the same amount of effort.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I did, perfect word, she.

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 3>Did entertain the idea, so like I can appreciate that,

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 3>you know what I'm saying.

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>But it just got to a point just where I

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>was like, bro, like.

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 3>You not even giving me ten percent of what I'm

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 3>giving you.

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. And I understand marriage is hard.

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 2>That's why everybody keep telling me.

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 3>Bro, And that's why I feel so wrong about this,

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.520
<v Speaker 3>because everybody keeps saying, well, marriage is hard, y'all need

0:02:58.560 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 3>to work it out, y'all need.

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>To work on it. God, been fucking trying to work

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>on this shit. Bro. I can't work whenever. All I'm

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 2>working with is a damn brick wall, you know what

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.399
<v Speaker 2>I mean. I'm over here working by my damn self. Bro.

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.359
<v Speaker 3>So, like I finally just told her, like, listen, I'm

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 3>not gonna do all this confusion. I'm not gonna go

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 3>back and forth, like if you want to be with me,

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:19.280
<v Speaker 3>tell me you want to be with me, and we'll

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 3>fucking work. I will put in work every minute of

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 3>every day. So side note, her and my sister are

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 3>best friends. I have not asked them to cut that

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.239
<v Speaker 3>friendship because I understand that they are both emotionally.

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Supportive to each other and they need each other. My

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.760
<v Speaker 2>sister's going through a lot, obviously, my wife's going through

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot. You know what I'm saying.

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm not asking either one of them to go through

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 3>that alone, for real, I'm not whatever. I'm helping my

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 3>sister move into her new apartment, and my ex was there,

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>but like they had this dude there that was helping

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 3>my sister too.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Like helping me lift the counsel and stuff.

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Because I couldn't listen by myself and dudes start flirt

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 3>with my wife right in front of me, and my

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 3>wife started flirting back right in front of me.

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>So I fucking left, I did. I put the couch down.

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 2>I got in the fuck apartment, I put it down.

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I left. I said, y'all figure this shit the fuck out. Now.

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 2>My sister understood while I left.

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 3>My ex on the other hand, started calling me childish

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 3>and y'all list and that the third calling me disrespectful.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I said, Bro, you're talking about disrespect but you flirted

0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 2>right in front of my face. Okay, whatever.

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.919
<v Speaker 3>So I basically told her, like, listen, if it's not

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.000
<v Speaker 3>about our child, if it's not about pickups and drop

0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.159
<v Speaker 3>offs and you know, school and all of that, we

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 3>don't need to talk no more. For real, we don't.

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.000
<v Speaker 3>And now that I have said that, just it's like

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 3>every time I turn around, she want to offer something else.

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:46.559
<v Speaker 2>She wanted to talk about something.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 3>Now we got conversations out to ask. We got to like,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 3>where the fuck was these conversations whenever.

0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I was sitting here begging you for him, bro? Yeah,

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't get it. Bro.

0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Now I'm not chasing or ask no more. It's like, oh,

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>why you're not chasing something ain't right now you want

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>to come back and everything is you know, now you

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>want to start paying attention and shit, And like.

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 3>I'm a real spiritual person, so like on the backside.

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Of this, I'm sitting here praying God.

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm begging God, like, bro, tell me what I tell me,

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 3>what it is I'm supposed to be doing, show me

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 3>the ways, like show me the past that you have

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.039
<v Speaker 3>laid out for me.

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Please don't like tell me you know. And I finally

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 2>heard God tell me one night. He said, Bro, just

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>give up, just stop. Just stop. That's not that's not

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 2>feeding you, that's not working for you.

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 1>To stop.

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:32.919
<v Speaker 3>And then right after God told me to stop, I

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 3>start to seeing all these things, and I feel like,

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 3>like it's so confusing because it's good things. It looks

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 3>like it's good things or things that I want. But

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 3>at the same time, the Bible says that the devil.

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Can come in me.

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:44.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there you go.

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm so caught, Like, there you go. Why why did

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:48.719
<v Speaker 2>it take.

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 3>You so long to do the things that I'm begging

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:52.839
<v Speaker 3>you to do? And then why as soon as God

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 3>told me to stop begging, why did I start getting.

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Those things from you?

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, but that.

0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Feels kind of manipulative, bro, Like I feel devil trying

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 3>to work his way in and I'm not really having that.

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Just no, well don't that's what you gotta do. You

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>can't let him have it.

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Girl, I know this is like seven minutes of bullshit.

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 3>It's not all of that to say, Am I wrong

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 3>for leaving a relationship? No, I know you're probably gonna

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 3>need some a little bit more contact, if you know.

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 3>If you do, just fucking let me know and I'll

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 3>get back to you, just like you always say you're

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 3>gonna have to get back to me.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I'll get back to you. But like, no, I really

0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 2>cut it. I cut all of it. I told like, no,

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:34.119
<v Speaker 2>you can't come spend night at the house.

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 3>No more like he could still come, our son can

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 3>still come, but you can't.

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 2>Like no, I can't. I can't send you no money

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 2>for gas.

0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 3>I can put gas in your car so you can

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 3>give my son to school, but I'm not gonna send

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 3>you no one hundred dollars or nothing like that, Like no,

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna pay this and that, Like all I'm

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 3>focused on is my child now, and part of me

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 3>feels bad about that for real, I really do, because

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 3>I've never in all the years we've been together.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.800
<v Speaker 2>I've never done that. But the other part of me

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>like this what I need to heal.

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, you're right, but just the sick girl like

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry for rambling.

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:12.400
<v Speaker 2>If you could help me, please do. If you can't,

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 2>at least talking to shit. You know what I'm saying.

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>Make me laugh about.

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 3>This sua oh girl, so I can get it up

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 3>out of my head.

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Man, Yeah, I just.

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just just help me out, please.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I got it. Please please please, I got you, baby girl.

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Hold up, Hold up, I know the ship getting good,

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>but listen to just a couple seconds of a commercial.

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>If you love me, you'll listen, Okay. So look, this

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>is what it sounds like to me. I know you've

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.920
<v Speaker 1>been on off, you know, on again, off again. I

0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:42.960
<v Speaker 1>think you said on and off again or a six

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 1>seven year relationship. All right, but you know y'all got

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>you said, y'all, got your toxic wage, y'all. You know

0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 1>y'all going through shit. No relationship is perfect. At the

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, she stepped out and she cheated

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>on you and came back with a baby, not only

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>was that just her cheating, but to come back with

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a baby, you know, you laid down with somebody unprotected

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>and you actually allowed yourself to bring a life into

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>this world that we didn't give each other permission to

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>go do. I mean, you guys both are women, and

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.920
<v Speaker 1>it's certain becauss you have to take when two women

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>are trying to have a baby. You know, and I

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>want to know, is this something that you two ever

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about having kids to get being married and starting

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.320
<v Speaker 1>a family, because if so, how she did it was

0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>fucked up from the jump. The way she went about

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>it was was super affed up. To me. That was

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>flag one portrayal. You know, you went and you went

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and go lay down with a nigga. I don't know

0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>if she's bisexual. I don't know if you guys are

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>just you know, lesbian or you know, you just going

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:44.680
<v Speaker 1>one way. I'm not sure, but something tells me that

0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:46.959
<v Speaker 1>that was not the case. I'm not sure. You got

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to let me know, give me that thing. I don't

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>really need too much contact. You told me everything that

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.199
<v Speaker 1>was great enough for me to advise you afterwards. But

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to know if she when you met

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 1>her were you under the imperson that she was just gay,

0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 1>or she went both ways, polyamorous, you know, bisexual, whatever

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>she identifies as. Did y'all clarify that. That's first, Like

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, that's a red flag. She stepped out, brought

0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>her baby back, and now you're raising the baby. So

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:14.559
<v Speaker 1>not only does she step out with a nigga, she

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>stepped out with an aint shit nigga. Because that baby

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 1>has two moms and no father. You know, well biologically

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>a father, but has no dad. You know what I mean.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 1>That's your baby. Can't nobody tell you nothing else? That

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.800
<v Speaker 1>is your child. And I love how you are so

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>open to say that. You know, I stepped up to

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.440
<v Speaker 1>take care of this child. You know, my wife stepped

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>out on me. But boom, we made it work. As

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>far as people saying, oh, marriage is hard, marriage is hard,

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 1>marriage is hard, I honestly feel like you don't talk

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to married people about marriage. You do marriage your own way.

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, everybody's marriage is different. We got some fucked

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>up marriages, we got some hard marriages, we got some

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.760
<v Speaker 1>easy marriages. We got people who don't look at their

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>marriage as work. When you look at it as work,

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 1>you get tired. Of because niggas get tired of going

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to work. You understand what I'm saying. You can't compare

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 1>your marriage to a job. Although there is work that

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:10.560
<v Speaker 1>has to be done, there is foundation that has to

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>be built, there are personalities that has to be learned,

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 1>there are compromising situations that need to be addressed, and

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>all that type of just's all types of work that

0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>goes into it. But if you do it with the

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 1>right person, it doesn't really seem like work. It seems

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>like just something that you're working to make perfect. You

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.600
<v Speaker 1>understand what I'm saying. It doesn't seem like work. It

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 1>just seems like something that you're working to make beautiful

0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 1>or working to keep beautiful and sacred and precious and private.

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.439
<v Speaker 1>That's also the problem with marriage is today a lot

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of marriages are so fucking loud everybody hears it. So

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody now is in your business and shit, and you

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>let people in your business, and you let how other

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>people feel about your business fuck with you. You know, a

0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>marriage is supposed to be between two people, and with

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that being said, everything is inclusive. There's a husband, a wife,

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a wife, a wife, a husband, husband, whatever it is

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you both put in the equal amount of work. Like

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.160
<v Speaker 1>you said, you felt like you was doing it with

0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>a brick wall. You said, she entertained you when she

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 1>came back. She entertained it for a few months. The

0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.160
<v Speaker 1>y'all got back together and all that shit. She entertained.

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 1>That was the perfect word, because you were being tolerated.

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what it was. She was just entertaining the idea,

0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 1>just to say she did give it a try. Her

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>heart was never there now I'm not saying before. Her

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 1>heart never got back once she cheated, and once she

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.840
<v Speaker 1>got you know, started treating you that way, and you

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>chasing her, and y'all weren't even together when you was

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>telling her that you would be the best you that

0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>you could beat. For y'all, family, for that baby, for

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.400
<v Speaker 1>your son, everything you know, all inclusive, like a family

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 1>and a marriage should be. She wasn't stunning it. She

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't give a fuck. She was already out still doing her,

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I bet, but still falling back on you because you

0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:02.800
<v Speaker 1>take care of her. You've always taken care of her physically, financially,

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>You've always taken care of even when y'all fell up

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 1>on hard times. If so, you know, you've always understood

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>what a healthy relationship was all about. And she didn't.

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Y'all in two different spaces in your life. Y'all been

0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>into different places in your life. You just couldn't see

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 1>it yet. I love how you're very aware. You're spiritual.

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 1>So God makes his children aware of the dangers around them.

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.840
<v Speaker 1>He makes us, He opens our eyes to things that

0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.120
<v Speaker 1>we couldn't see before. See. This is why I don't

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.200
<v Speaker 1>like to get the devil credit, because sometimes God will

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>even allow the same thing to keep hurting you until

0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>you stop it, until you walk away from it. Because

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.839
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we put what we want over what we need,

0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.040
<v Speaker 1>over what feeds us. And you said, God spoke to

0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you and said, this is not feeding you. Give up.

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not making you. It's breaking you. Okay, it's not

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>filling you up, it's draining you. Okay. Another thing you're

0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>not gonna like that. I'm gonna say you might have

0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to break time with that baby as well, because that's

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>her seed, that's her seed from another man. You watch

0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>that baby be born, you help raise that baby, You

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>are taking care currently of that baby. But you may

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 1>have to break those ties because she's always going to

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>use the baby for manipulation. I bet you. I don't

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 1>need to know how old she is. I don't need

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>to know it. I don't need to know nothing else.

0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>She's going to use the fact that you are that

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>baby's mother and you've been there since the birth. And

0:13:30.040 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the daddy probably ain't shit. He ain't worth for half

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>a fucking penny, probably so, But she wants her child

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to know what a family is. Even if she got

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.200
<v Speaker 1>to force you to stay in her life by staying

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>in the child's life, she'll do that. That's not good.

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.200
<v Speaker 1>That's not good because she's still taking advantage of you.

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 1>She's still using you, and that's not what somebody who

0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>loves a person does not at all. If you love me,

0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.440
<v Speaker 1>you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you this. I was in a

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>relationship before with somebody who did the same exact thing

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 1>that she did. I had to break up with this

0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>guy and stop chasing him and stop begging him to

0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>be with me, stop begging him to love me like

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I loved him. I had to stop doing all of that.

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Fell back. I didn't move on with another person quickly.

0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>You know. It took me a while because I was

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>still on him, but I let my dignity go a

0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>little bit doing that, begging a man to you listen,

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I know, you know what it's like, because you just

0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>begged a woman to be with you. I begged a

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>man to be with me who knew he wanted to

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>be with me, but he was just so fucking prideful

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.120
<v Speaker 1>with a big ass ego. He didn't even fucking realize

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>that I was the one until I left. I fell

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>the fuck back and I moved the fuck on, and

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>now you on my ass. Now you're in my ass.

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Now it's like, oh, damn, she ain't chasing me. As

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 1>long as a person can look back and see you

0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>chasing them, they comfortable. They gonna take their time any

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 1>event he looked back and you ain't there no more.

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like, oh, hold up now by myself, hold up,

0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>hod up? Why the fuck she not chasing me? What

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:09.960
<v Speaker 1>was this? Is new schedule programming? What the fuck is

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:10.320
<v Speaker 1>going on?

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>What is this? It puts them in a panic because

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>they always expect for you to fucking be there when

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>they want to fall back on you, when they want

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>to be caught for the time being, and then they

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>want to run off again and now you got to

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>start the race of chasing them again. That's not what

0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. That's not what you're doing either. You're going

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.920
<v Speaker 1>to take your own advice, because I bet you don't

0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>even realize you gave your self advice talking to me,

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>telling me your story. You talk to God about it.

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>God came back and told you. You know, but then,

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>like you said, you felt like the devil came and

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:44.960
<v Speaker 1>now I think that was still God. I think that

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>was still God, And in my opinion, that was still God.

0:15:47.560 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 1>We're not gonna give the devil no credit. Now we

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.080
<v Speaker 1>know he exists, and we know that he played He

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>don't play fair either. But we also know that God

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>loves to teach us lessons, and when he felt like

0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.480
<v Speaker 1>we not learning, maybe he'll switch up how we learn.

0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>He'll switch up the work sheet on us. Well, we'll

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>switch You know, it's a thousand ways of skin of cat, right,

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>maybe the first way ain't work. So, man, he gonna

0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:09.800
<v Speaker 1>hit you this way. Now, he's gonna want He wants

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you to do it this way. God said, look, let

0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.080
<v Speaker 1>it go. Then she started acting great again. Oh my God,

0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>you know blah blah blah blah blah, doing everything you wanted.

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>But God already told you to let it go. Right,

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>she came back, started acting crazy again. God told you

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 1>let it go. God said, oh, oh, you ain't gonna

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>believe me. You ain't gonna take the advice I gave you.

0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>You still want her to keep treating you bad, to

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>keep showing you that she ain't shit. All right, cool,

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>let her keep showing you that you ain't shit. I

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.560
<v Speaker 1>ain't gonna tell you again let it go. I'm just

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to make her show you that she should

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 1>be let go because God was trying to protect you

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>from further hurt telling you to give up. All we

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>gotta do is listen. I know you heard him because

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>you repeated to me what he said to you. You know,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 1>but you weren't listening because you didn't. You didn't do

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.360
<v Speaker 1>you didn't act on it. It wasn't an action. I

0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 1>want you to really, really, really sit with yourself and

0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:03.760
<v Speaker 1>think about what you deserve, think about what you want,

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.119
<v Speaker 1>think about moving forward, which you will tolerating what you

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.480
<v Speaker 1>will not tolerate because you're not going back there. It

0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.119
<v Speaker 1>might be hard to wing yourself off that baby, but

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>that's what you're gonna have to do. You gotta break

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:15.399
<v Speaker 1>tithes with Shorty because she she I'm not saying she

0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>don't give a fuck about you. She don't care like

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.679
<v Speaker 1>you care. She don't really have a genuine heart for

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 1>you. You know, I think she appreciates you loving her child,

0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:29.399
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think there's anything there with her. And

0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.239
<v Speaker 1>so I think you did great by even opening up

0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:34.919
<v Speaker 1>to me about this. You know, I give kudos to

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>all the men and women who open up themselves, you know,

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 1>to me and even trusting me. You know, y'all know

0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 1>who I am. You know I'm just with the mess.

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:44.200
<v Speaker 1>My news is real.

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:44.399
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm also known as clapback Queen. I'm also known to

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.000
<v Speaker 1>talk shit about any and everybody, whatever, whatever. But what

0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:53.679
<v Speaker 1>I do want everybody to take from carefully reckless and

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>just fix my mess, is that I do genuinely care

0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.280
<v Speaker 1>about people. I really do. I care about people, and

0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I care what hurts people too. I'm a glutton for

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.520
<v Speaker 1>helping people and giving them my personal experience because I

0:18:06.600 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>learned from all experiences. What makes me wise is other

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.600
<v Speaker 1>people's experiences and seeing how they handled it, you know

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.000
