So 30 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm super excited about this week's episode. I would like 31 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: to thank my guests for sharing her story on being 32 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: married to a man that was on the download and 33 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: hopes of spreading awareness to our listeners. So to my guests, 34 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: how are you doing? I'm well, how are you doing? 35 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: All this little? I can't complain. I'm happy that I 36 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: clocked out child, so that's good. How has the pandemic 37 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,399 Speaker 1: been treating you? It's been treating me that I'm still here? Okay, okay, 38 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: Well what made you want to share your story with everyone? UM? 39 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: I want to share awareness. UM. Also because of the 40 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: fact that I just really needed to know that I 41 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: wasn't the only one going through this at this time, 42 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: that I was going through everything. Um, I needed that, 43 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: I guess, pat on my shoulder hug and like I said, 44 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: to spread awareness so that way those who do know 45 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: they're going through this, no, they're not alone, and people 46 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: who don't know they are going through this can be aware. 47 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: So that was the main reason. What was the reaction 48 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: you were receiving from people? Because I was reading someone 49 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: the comments and I'm like, whoa people are me? Yeah, 50 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: they can be cruel and mean, um, and he was 51 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: going back and forth with them. I was like, girl, 52 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 1: oh yes, no, no now, because they always tell me 53 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: how self confidence in this, that and another. But those 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: are the same women who don't know that their man 55 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: is down low and cheating on them, or may have 56 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: HIV and not telling them and stuff like that. So 57 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: I was just like, Okay, how can you be another 58 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: woman supposed to be trying to uplift women and you 59 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: know women power and Black women power, but yet you 60 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: degrade and down play another woman who's going through something 61 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: you should be trying to uplifters. So I would always 62 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: come back with something yeah, because I was like, oh, 63 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: she got time every day? I sure, what would you say? 64 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: Are some signs of a download man. Um first and foremost, 65 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, listen to your intuition. M Most of 66 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: the time, as women, we just have that sixth sense 67 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: something's not right. I would say, Um, that never being 68 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: able to put the phone down thing, that's a that's 69 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: a big red flag. Um. If they act as if 70 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: they don't like gay men or trans sexual women or 71 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: you know, a little homophobic, I would say that's another 72 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: red flag. Mm hmm. There are some flags. But to 73 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 1: be honest with you, most time you won't even paying 74 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: no attention. You wouldn't even know. M hmm. Now, before 75 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: we get into your story, I want to hear your 76 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: thoughts on a few topics because I was watching your 77 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: videos and I'm like, like, some of your stuff I 78 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: do agree on. So do you think women should stay 79 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: away from Atlanta due to the race of download men 80 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: in HIV? I've I've learned that it's not just Atlanta. 81 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: Oh no, it's all over the world. But you but 82 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: it was the pot time you were going hard on Atlanta. 83 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: Oh yes, because it's it's one of those that if 84 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: you don't know, you will find out the hard way 85 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: with Atlanta because it is so many download men here. 86 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: It's so many, and I was surprised to see the 87 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: different apps and websites and just random stuff that I 88 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: would see. And yeah, it made me really questioned Atlanta 89 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: a whole lot. And I remember you sharing a story 90 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: on how you and your twin sister were in similar 91 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: to situations but at different times because she was on 92 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: a download and he had HIV. Well, he wasn't on 93 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: the download supposedly, but he definitely was probably a sex 94 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 1: addict um. And he was from a totally different geographic 95 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: than my husband. He was a total different age range, 96 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 1: total different age range than my husband. And he says 97 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: he didn't know by all means he might not have, 98 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: but at the age he was for never going to 99 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,919 Speaker 1: get tested, never thinking at all to you know, an inkling, 100 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: especially knowing your lifestyle. I just it was just crazy 101 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: how this man from a whole different state, a whole 102 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: different perspective than my husband ends up with my twin 103 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: sister and he does the same thing that my husband 104 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: does to me, which is pretty much allied to my 105 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: face about their status and their sexuality. Mm hmmm. Do 106 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: you think that all men men and I know people 107 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: gonna be like what but to be honest with you. 108 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: At one point I would have said yes, and still 109 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: now I questioned it because I mean, it's hard not 110 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: to say yes, and it's hard not to say no. 111 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: They stayed, Oh, I'm masculine this, I'm masculine that. And 112 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: I've seen some of the biggest, baddest, thug looking man 113 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: going the room with another man and do their things. 114 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: So for me, I say, day they might have some Look. 115 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: It took my twin sister to literally tell me that 116 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: all men aren't gay for me to believe that all 117 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: men do not like men. Mm hmm. Now, one point 118 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: I do agree with you on is that prisons should 119 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: give men condoms. So you watched that, huh, Listen, I 120 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: did my research on you, girl, when I say now 121 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: that situation when I watched that episode, and so I 122 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: recorded that live because I was hoping anybody would watch 123 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: that because it is amazing to me how we expect 124 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: for these men to be locked up for this amount 125 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: of time that some of these men are locked up 126 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: for and not be sexually attracted or not have sex 127 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: or do anything in these jails in prisons, and by 128 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: all means, we don't want to encourage them to have 129 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: sex with each other, but at least give them some 130 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: common so they can protect each other. You know, they're 131 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: sleeping with these people and they's are the same people 132 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: they see in a pill line every night, mm hmm. 133 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: And they don't know what type of pills these people 134 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: are saying taking. They can say they're taking hormones, they 135 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: can say they're taking this. They might not tell them nothing, 136 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 1: and they still sleep with these people passing on diseases. 137 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: And yeah, so that's a big kind of thing that 138 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: I honestly believe that, you know, we should have condoms 139 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: in prison. Yeah, because I definitely think that the the 140 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: prison system adds to the HIV rates exactly because I mean, 141 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: they go in there, they don't tell nobody what they 142 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: do when they're behind them bars. Then they come back 143 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: out and maybe conformed or whatever they try to do 144 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: to these poor men, and they go back to a woman, 145 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: not knowing that then they had a whole relationship with 146 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: a man while they were in prison. M or they've 147 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: been raped? Are they been raped? And they will never 148 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: tell that? Right? So sad? Do you still believe that 149 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: download men are obsessed with transgender women? Um? Not all 150 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: download men are, because I've noticed a lot of download 151 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: men just like men, um, but a lot of them 152 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: do UM. I had an older friend of mine he 153 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: was he is a really great guy, and he's one 154 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: who's always been honest with me, and he tells me 155 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: all the time. You know, a man will sleep with anything, 156 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: and they get both worlds when they have a trans 157 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: sexual or a transgender woman, because they get the summut 158 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: of the softness like a woman, but then they get 159 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: the sex like they won't from a man because they know, 160 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,959 Speaker 1: you know, they know what a man wants because they 161 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: are you know, at one point was a man. Or 162 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: you know, I don't I don't want to get into 163 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: that situation. Um, But he tells me all the time, 164 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: and so he said, the only problem is they still 165 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: having man's mentality. They still think like men, they still 166 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: somewhat act like a man, and you can never really 167 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: having serious, you know, relationship because of the fact that 168 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: you're looking for that off this emotion and stuff that 169 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: a woman brings you. But they will never be able 170 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: to do that because of the fact they don't have 171 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: that mentality or they're not you know, soft and emotional life. 172 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: We are, I mean Jonathan of mine, Like I said, 173 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: really close friends.

Before I 252 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 1: even met physically met him, we probably talked wrote letters 253 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: to each other for about three months, four months, and 254 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: then I finally I got out of jail and I 255 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: met him face to face. Um moved in with his mom, 256 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: was with his mom for about a year and a 257 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: half too. Um, we fell off. He ended up going 258 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: back to jail because he got out for like three months. 259 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: I went back to jail and then um, I got 260 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: married in between there and that one went to jail 261 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: for a whole another reason. And as I bumped back 262 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: into we just three mouth solf started where we left off. Now. 263 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: It was one of the videos that I, uh, I watched. 264 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: It kind of like made me said, because like you 265 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: were telling me, you were telling us how y'all was intimate, 266 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: and he was asking you, like, why was you looking 267 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: at him like that? And you would say, how are 268 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: you trying to see if the love was there? Yeah, 269 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 1: that's never forget it because he is younger than me, 270 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: and you know, as a woman, I guess for us, 271 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: we want to see the love, let her know know 272 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: it's there. I'm an identical twin, and I know with 273 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: looking at I can tell by a person looking in 274 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: their eyes just knowing that they're no offense, full of 275 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: shit or not. So I just didn't see it there. 276 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: I mean, the sex was great, but the love was 277 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 1: not there. And that's the main reason why we split 278 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: apart the very first time. Did you ever think he 279 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: would do something like this to you. No, absolutely not. UM. 280 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: That is the biggest thing. I remember being in the 281 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: battered woman UM classes, and one thing they said was 282 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: a lot of women they're so strong long and so 283 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: strong minded, and they don't think that you know, well, 284 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: this man will never do this to me. Even if 285 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,239 Speaker 1: they do. I know this that and the third I'm 286 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: strong enough, I'll fight back, etcetera, etcetera. One you don't 287 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna do until you get in a 288 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: situation like that. I'm gonna tell everybody that off real. Um. 289 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: But too you don't expect it. You don't look at 290 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: this man and be like, okay, well he's gay. Now 291 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: some of them you kind of can see that they're 292 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: dripping a little sugar. But at the time, if they're 293 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: on a download, they're on the down load for a reason, 294 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: and you will not know. You won't unless you tell 295 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: them or you find out the hard way like I did. 296 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Now, throughout their relationship with him, when did 297 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: you notice that he had a secret lifestyle. Um, let's 298 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: see at that woman's intuition kicked in. Um, they noticed 299 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: he never put his phone down. That was my big 300 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: clean Honestly, I thought it was more he was just cheating. 301 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: But then when I went through the phone and I 302 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: seen the conversation he was having with the transgender woman 303 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: about horn, I was like, okay, wait a minute. And 304 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: that's when it went from oh, well, I gotta remember 305 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: what he said and how he said it exactly because 306 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: I was next to him, and he was like, well, 307 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:31,640 Speaker 1: that's just how it is. That was time we got 308 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: in a physical artercation and I I totally flipped my ship. 309 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: Police was called, he ran. His mom was there. She 310 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: was trying to get me off her son. I mean, 311 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: but what didn't he expect? You just don't go up 312 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 1: to somebody and say, hey, yeah, this is what I do, right, right, 313 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: right right? I feel like, like, this is what you do. 314 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: They said, what you mean right? That's what happened the 315 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: first time when I first found out, And even then 316 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a closed minded person. A lot of women 317 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 1: do not understand that men have the hardest time with 318 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: their sexuality because of the fact that they have to 319 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: be this macho m went in real reality. I mean, 320 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: just like women for the first part of their years, 321 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: they don't have no female friends. They have nothing but 322 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: male friends. Um My, twin sister had to explain to 323 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: my little girl the other day that it's not that 324 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: you don't love your female friends, You're just you just 325 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: don't love them like that, you know what I'm saying, 326 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: Because she was so confused by what she thought she 327 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: liked and what she thought she didn't like. And I'm like, well, 328 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: you're you ain't never even been with no man yet 329 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: at least you better not have. And you know, but 330 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,720 Speaker 1: after she explained it to us, she understood what the 331 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: difference was between being and love with somebody and then 332 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,959 Speaker 1: being sexually in love with somebody, so it helped out 333 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: a lot. But men do have a hard time with that, 334 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: so I mean, yeah, you'd be surprised, like you'd be 335 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: surprised they will never tell you. Well, if I'm not mistaken, 336 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: because I feel like you didn't have a problem with 337 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: him being bisexual, you morsel have a problem with him 338 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: not telling you about his lifestyle from the beginning, right 339 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: because I want to. I mean, shouldn't have been my choice, right, 340 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: that was my main thing. It should have been my 341 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: choice to get from the gate. Rather I wanted to 342 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: deal with that or not. I mean, that's the part 343 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 1: of the rule. As a woman, you gotta understand, you 344 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: know you're only gonna get Maybe are you willing to 345 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: deal with the bad, ugly of that man, because I mean, 346 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: he's not perfect, right, And I know that you stated 347 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 1: in your videos that you are bisexual. So why do 348 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: you think there's such a stigma still around men being 349 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: open with their sexuality because this is um society. Um, 350 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: they're not gonna be comfortable with the man being with 351 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,479 Speaker 1: another man. That's just so taboo, I guess to a 352 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: lot of people still um. And I don't know what 353 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: else to say about that. That's just what it is. 354 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: And a lot of men have came to me and said, 355 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, I'm exactly right with that. They can't even 356 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: be honest and open with the female that they may 357 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: like another male because they already know that she's gonna 358 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: reject them. He liked another man, but he might not 359 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: be sexually attracted to horrid body man, but he maybe 360 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: working man right. Well, because of that stigma, do you 361 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: think that plays a part in men being on the download? Definitely? 362 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,239 Speaker 1: So when you found out about your husband's lifestyle, did 363 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: you have a conversation because I know you it was 364 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: times where you had your intuition kicking in. But when 365 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: when when did you find utuff the fact that oh 366 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: he's on down low? Um once I once we found 367 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: out that. Once I found the first time, and I 368 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: kicked him out of my house. Um, we had a conversation. UM, 369 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: and I let him know, like, Okay, so if we're 370 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: gonna there, if we're still gonna work this out, you 371 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: gotta talk to me. You have to tell me, you know, 372 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: before you do anything, you need to let me know 373 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: you're using condoms, etcetera, etcetera. And I mean, immediately after 374 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,959 Speaker 1: that I found out the first time, the first thing 375 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: I did was go get an HIV test. And and 376 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: it's because of the fact that statistically a man who 377 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: sweeps with another man we'll get HIV. I mean it's 378 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: to test six. And I don't even think he really 379 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: realized how hi a chance it is for you to 380 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: get HIV dealing with another man like that. So I mean, 381 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: like I said, I immediately when I got an HIV test, 382 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: I was negative. Um, we had a conversation. I let 383 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: him know, if you're still gonna do this, you need 384 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 1: to let me know. You need to let me have 385 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: a choice. And whether I'm gonna be in this relationship 386 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 1: or not. And I don't need you from just you know, 387 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: every other day or so.

Because I am his wife, I can't press charges. 453 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: But because I am his wife, I don't have to 454 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: press charges against him because I didn't contract HIV. Um, 455 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: you did? You did not? Did not. That's what I 456 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: was confused, because I'm like, wait, do she have it 457 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: or not?

That's exactly where 465 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: he gets his mentality and his narcissism. All that is 466 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: from the family. And I believe because his mama was 467 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: she's she one of them, right, So I mean that's 468 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: something I have to deal with as well.

I've had 518 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 1: the pharmacists pull me to the side and tell me 519 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: to run. I've had counselors tell me how lucky I 520 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: am that I'm not one of those statistics that catching 521 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 1: HIV I've had. I've had several people, family members, friends, 522 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: tell me to run. But when you get somebody you 523 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: can't is run away from them. And HIV is not 524 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: a deaf sentence anymore.

You know most people are. 532 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: I hate to be like this ignorant don't know about 533 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 1: the disease irst and what they can and can't do. 534 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: Don't know if you have taken their medicine like they're 535 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: supposed to, they can't spread it. But you know they 536 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 1: don't know this, so of course there's that stigma and 537 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: everybody's scared. I'm not scared to be with my husband. 538 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of him giving me any kind of 539 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: diseases because I know how to protect myself. I know 540 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: to go to the doctors. I know to use condoms. 541 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,640 Speaker 1: I know, you know, if he's having an outbreak or 542 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: something like that, we're not gonna have any kind of intimacy. 543 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 1: I understand all that.

Um as far as 602 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: healing goes and forgiveness, UM, I don't not believe in God. 603 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: I actually truly am a spiritual person and believe that 604 00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,760 Speaker 1: there is a God. And I know in the Bible 605 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,120 Speaker 1: it says you know who he is without sin cast 606 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: the first stone. I can't cast that stone. I have 607 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 1: my own, you know, skeletons and demons that I've been 608 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: working on myself. So I mean, I can't be like 609 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,880 Speaker 1: I hate him forever. Right as time goes on. My 610 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 1: dad always says, you know, if you'll get over it, 611 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: if you're still breathing, you will get over it, and 612 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 1: if you don't, you will end up in one of 613 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: those mental institutions like some of the rest of those 614 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,919 Speaker 1: people who didn't get over it. So what what would 615 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: you say? Is the one thing that you learn from 616 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 1: this situation. Never to trust the man though, let me stop. Um, 617 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: well that was one of them. I'm not gonna lie. 618 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: Never to trust man, But I don't trust woman either. 619 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't trust nobody as far as I 620 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: can throw them. But m h, it's up for your sister. 621 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: I don't trust her that much either. She's weird though. Oh, 622 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,200 Speaker 1: I feel like we don't have to have some more conversations. 623 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: I don't have to have more conversations. Yeah, yeah, But 624 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, UM, what I really learned 625 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: is that I'm not the only one going through this. 626 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm I have women and this is no joke.

The one 633 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 1: lady she told me she actually, you know, contracted HIV, 634 00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: And I mean, what what do you say to somebody 635 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: like that, you know, because they go through so much? Yeah, 636 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: do you have any regrets? Yeah? I should. I never 637 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,919 Speaker 1: got married I never got married. Um regrets as being 638 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:23,680 Speaker 1: as far as finding out the truth.
