- 0:05Speaker 1: at least once or twice. Okay, y'all, so listen. So
- 0:09Speaker 1: dumb bitch story today comes from one of our Instagram friends,
- 0:13Speaker 1: one of the friends of the show. Uh. It says, Hey, Tam,
- 0:16Speaker 1: Baman and a J I love you ladies, by the way,
- 0:19Speaker 1: I just want to hear from you both. I'm thirty
- 0:21Speaker 1: and my boyfriend is thirty eight of three years. Have
- 0:24Speaker 1: been in a stump, is what she says, and I
- 0:27Speaker 1: don't know what else to do. Lately he's been saying
- 0:29Speaker 1: I can do more, but I don't know what more
- 0:32Speaker 1: he wants. We live in New York, he has his
- 0:34Speaker 1: own place, and I'm still home. Rent is just too expensive,
- 0:38Speaker 1: hair and on my salary, I just can't afford rent
- 0:41Speaker 1: and rental insurance. Been in a search for a new
- 0:44Speaker 1: job where I can move out. Um. At my age,
- 0:48Speaker 1: it's depressing still being home sometimes. I think that's a
- 0:51Speaker 1: hurdle for us. In addition, I'm not the greatest cook,
- 0:55Speaker 1: but I'll do a few meals. A few meals. Um.
- 0:58Speaker 1: We go out on dates and trips and have a
- 1:00Speaker 1: good time when I When I do go to his house.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I'll clean up, I'll cook um what I can and experiment,
- 1:07Speaker 1: but I just don't know what else or more to do.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Looking for some advice from you ladies. Um, sex is good,
- 1:15Speaker 1: but that's not enough to keep a man. This is
- 1:16Speaker 1: what she says. So I made like a couple of
- 1:18Speaker 1: suggestions to her after I asked her, like, have y'all
- 1:21Speaker 1: have y'all talked about moving in together? You know? So
- 1:23Speaker 1: what do y'all think about her situation? Um? First of all,
- 1:29Speaker 1: I think she needs to figure out what she wants
- 1:33Speaker 1: out of life separate from this relationship. I get the
- 1:38Speaker 1: sense it's like, hey, I need to do more, but
- 1:40Speaker 1: what is that more? I want to please this man,
- 1:42Speaker 1: But what is that more for you? Sis? You see
- 1:46Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Um, when you get that, he may
- 1:51Speaker 1: not even be the man for you, he may man
- 1:54Speaker 1: for you a or be he'll see that, he'd be like,
- 1:57Speaker 1: oh no, she ain't. Because no one wants to be
- 1:59Speaker 1: like do this, do this? Do that? I need to
- 2:02Speaker 1: do you know directions you know, uh, to the to
- 2:07Speaker 1: their partner. They kind of want to see their partner
- 2:10Speaker 1: do it. It's sexier when they're doing it on their
- 2:12Speaker 1: you know, doing it for themselves. So that would be
- 2:15Speaker 1: my first thing is like, sis, Okay, what do you
- 2:18Speaker 1: want out of out of life? For you? You want
- 2:20Speaker 1: to be out of your parents house. It sounds like, um,
- 2:24Speaker 1: how are you going to get there? And what you know? What?
- 2:26Speaker 1: What ways? And focus on that and take the man out, um,
- 2:29Speaker 1: not to say dump him, but take you know that
- 2:33Speaker 1: part outright? Yeah? I agree, focus on yourself and girl,
- 2:36Speaker 1: it's all kind of YouTube videos, free free McDonald got
- 2:40Speaker 1: a cookbook you can learn how to cook. Like that's
- 2:43Speaker 1: if you can read, you can cook. That's how I feel.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Just got forth the effort. But my also another suggestion.
- 2:49Speaker 1: She's thirty. She says she's thirty and he's thirty eight,
- 2:52Speaker 1: so they may be on a little bit different life cycle.
- 2:55Speaker 1: And living in New York is extremely expensive, so I
- 2:57Speaker 1: can understand her living at home. But that's why I
- 3:00Speaker 1: asked her, maybe I'll can move in together. But it
- 3:04Speaker 1: doesn't sound like that's what he wants. Yeah, And that's
- 3:07Speaker 1: why it's important for her to, like you said, a
- 3:09Speaker 1: doctumental house for her to focus on her own aspirations
- 3:12Speaker 1: and your own goals, and then you might be able
- 3:16Speaker 1: to afford the things you want for yourself without that man,
- 3:19Speaker 1: and then maybe he will want to move in with you.
- 3:21Speaker 1: But the thing is, don't y'all think this life has
- 3:23Speaker 1: built off of double occupancy. It's not meant for just
- 3:26Speaker 1: one person to be by themselves struggling trying to figure
- 3:28Speaker 1: it out. You know what I'm saying. It's always easier
- 3:31Speaker 1: with two people. So she should she shouldn't have to
- 3:34Speaker 1: be over here and by herself trying to figure it out.
- 3:37Speaker 1: When she's in a relationship with somebody, they can can
- 3:40Speaker 1: they not try to figure stuff out together? I get
- 3:44Speaker 1: what you're saying. I think financially that makes sense, right,
- 3:47Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking to New York most people I
- 3:49Speaker 1: know who live in New York exactly, you know what.
- 3:53Speaker 1: So financially I get that, But I think, and again,
- 3:56Speaker 1: we don't know this man's part. Maybe he's you're typically saying,
- 4:01Speaker 1: he wants more from her, He wants more ambitions or something.
- 4:04Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying, and that your man can't
- 4:08Speaker 1: give you exactly, no man or woman should give you that.
- 4:11Speaker 1: You need to get that from within, from within. Yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 1: And so if she again we're assuming a lot of things,
- 4:20Speaker 1: But if she doesn't have that, then that may be
- 4:23Speaker 1: the piece that he's really trying to own in and
- 4:25Speaker 1: maybe that's why he ain't trying to have a move right, Okay,
- 4:28Speaker 1: And he can't he can't really articulate it. Are you
- 4:32Speaker 1: looking for somebody to take care of? Right? Because we
- 4:35Speaker 1: do ask men to be honest, but if they're honest,
- 4:39Speaker 1: a lot of times I feel it's like, get hurt
- 4:42Speaker 1: me while we'll be telling them whatever the hell we
- 4:44Speaker 1: feel like saying to them, but you don't, don't be honest? Kay,
- 4:49Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah. The other thing is maybe I was
- 4:54Speaker 1: gonna say he needs, you know, he needs to be
- 4:57Speaker 1: blunt and say this is you know what I need?
- 5:01Speaker 1: You know, I need you to be more proactive. I
- 5:04Speaker 1: need you to cook. Maybe it's just a cooking. I
- 5:06Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe he wants more sex, who knows, but
- 5:09Speaker 1: you know, if she can clarify, she said she doesn't
- 5:13Speaker 1: know what more is, and I feel like instead of
- 5:15Speaker 1: asking us, she needs to ask him what more is?
- 5:17Speaker 1: What more? It looks like him basically because we we
- 5:21Speaker 1: you pretty mu say what more is? Dr Morehouse Millhouse?
- 5:24Speaker 1: Are you pretty much said what? She needs to figure
- 5:26Speaker 1: out her thing? Yeah? But then she needs to figure
- 5:30Speaker 1: out what morris for her, you know, but not not
- 5:33Speaker 1: our opinion, not his opinion, but her own opinion. What
- 5:36Speaker 1: more is you know? Yeah, I will say this. I'm married.
- 5:39Speaker 1: I've been married for ten years, and that like doesn't
- 5:45Speaker 1: just because when you get married it's not like who
- 5:47Speaker 1: now we understand each other and you know it's no um.
- 5:54Speaker 1: And so I feel like too, I've had this conversation
- 5:57Speaker 1: with my husband, like We've sat down and he's like,
- 6:00Speaker 1: I need more from you and and I've said, okay, um,
- 6:05Speaker 1: you know what what is it that you need directly? Um?
- 6:08Speaker 1: And he's like, I need you to be more physically
- 6:11Speaker 1: you know, I need you to you know, have more
- 6:13Speaker 1: me time with me, and you know, more physical. He's
- 6:15Speaker 1: very physical. I'm very like not physical, Um, you know,
- 6:19Speaker 1: touchy feely. I need you too, Yes, exactly. So, UM,
- 6:25Speaker 1: I think that it's not a bad idea to ask
- 6:28Speaker 1: for clarification and this is going I mean again, married
- 6:32Speaker 1: now ten years. This is important that we continue to
- 6:35Speaker 1: do this um and and and talk once they check in. Yeah,
- 6:40Speaker 1: it's like a relationship check up. Oh yes, important. You
- 6:45Speaker 1: need that because if you think your marriage is gonna
- 6:47Speaker 1: be on autopilot I got used, uh no, yeah, m
- 6:56Speaker 1: hm
