Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's why
- 0:01Speaker 1: are there so many divorces after one of the spouses
- 0:04Speaker 1: transforms their bodies slash life.
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our America and mama's Alma Mama, she said.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Johnny is now our American mama's turn out Ofville and
- 0:24Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlison. I don't know how much I have seen
- 0:29Speaker 1: that trend. Is that something that y'all seen that a spouse,
- 0:32Speaker 1: one of the spouses does it, starts working out, or
- 0:35Speaker 1: gets surgery, or they get a new job, and then
- 0:38Speaker 1: all of a sudden there's a divorce right after that.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Yeah, it's calm. Well, I mean happened in our own family.
- 0:43Speaker 3: I'm not going to trouble.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I'm sorry to.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Tail, we're all friends. Well, it kind of reminds me
- 0:52Speaker 3: of when a woman has like the gas trek sleeve,
- 0:55Speaker 3: or she loses a lot of weight, she just gains
- 0:57Speaker 3: as confidence. And I always felt like it was always
- 1:01Speaker 3: that that person that has a confidence, she goes out,
- 1:04Speaker 3: she meets somebody, and things happen. I have a different
- 1:08Speaker 3: feeling now I watch this TikTok, Well, it's actually a
- 1:12Speaker 3: TikTok page and it's called goth to glam it's called transformations, okay,
- 1:16Speaker 3: and it takes these kids that are super goth I'm
- 1:19Speaker 3: talking piercings, crazy makeup. You cannot tell what they look like.
- 1:22Speaker 3: It's they're wild, looking like a body whatever.
- 1:25Speaker 1: They call it hysmorph. Yeah.
- 1:28Speaker 3: So they go in and this person takes off with makeup,
- 1:31Speaker 3: all the tattoos, the piercings, puts a wig on them,
- 1:33Speaker 3: changes their whole luck to glamorous. Most of the time,
- 1:37Speaker 3: they're like really pretty, like you can't tell under all
- 1:40Speaker 3: that stuff, but they're really pretty. They see themselves, they
- 1:42Speaker 3: feel beautiful. But then the biggie is they present themselves
- 1:46Speaker 3: to their friends. In almost every single instance, the friends
- 1:52Speaker 3: couldn't accept it. The friends were like, oh, oh, okay,
- 1:56Speaker 3: are very different. I mean a few wow jealous Yes,
- 2:01Speaker 3: you immediately felt the jealousy. You immediately felt the distance.
- 2:06Speaker 3: And then the goth people that are changed are just like,
- 2:09Speaker 3: I don't know, I'll probably go back to that. You know,
- 2:11Speaker 3: you could tell that they are sensing their uncomfortableness with
- 2:15Speaker 3: the way she is presenting herself. And I thought, maybe
- 2:19Speaker 3: that's what happens when people lose weight or do whatever
- 2:24Speaker 3: to their lives. It's the spouse that begins to feel like,
- 2:27Speaker 3: you don't belong to me anymore. I don't know who
- 2:29Speaker 3: you are. And so maybe that's why they turn around,
- 2:32Speaker 3: they turn away, and they turn away towards other people
- 2:35Speaker 3: for that validation.
- 2:36Speaker 4: I think it's probably a little bit of both. Because
- 2:39Speaker 4: I have a good friend that was worked with a
- 2:41Speaker 4: plastic surgeon, and she said that a lot of the
- 2:43Speaker 4: women that came in after like you said, that had
- 2:46Speaker 4: the sleeve or whatever and lost you know, tons of
- 2:48Speaker 4: weight two hundred pounds or whatever, that they would come
- 2:51Speaker 4: in to get everything tightened, you know, and that like
- 2:56Speaker 4: eight out of ten times the marriages would end because
- 2:59Speaker 4: the woman who came in felt started feeling good about herself. Well,
- 3:03Speaker 4: then she was attracting people that she could never attract before,
- 3:07Speaker 4: like going to the bars, like the person that we
- 3:09Speaker 4: know from our family, and then all of the sudden
- 3:14Speaker 4: that they're feeling pretty good, like, well, I settled for
- 3:17Speaker 4: this one because this is you know, this person over
- 3:19Speaker 4: here that's now looking at me would never have looked
- 3:21Speaker 4: at me two hundred pounds ago, you know. So it's
- 3:23Speaker 4: like they start looking at themselves differently. So I think
- 3:26Speaker 4: that happens a lot of times, you know, where they're
- 3:28Speaker 4: just like, you know what, this is what I really want.
- 3:32Speaker 4: But at the same time, you just made a very
- 3:33Speaker 4: good point that if you don't feel if let's say
- 3:37Speaker 4: you make this transformation, and this could be anything from
- 3:41Speaker 4: physical to mental, you know, like maybe somebody finds God
- 3:45Speaker 4: and they now they've become this good person that doesn't
- 3:47Speaker 4: want to do the stuff with their spouse they used
- 3:49Speaker 4: to do that was kind of maybe rebellious or whatever.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Then their spouse is like, no, we're not the same anymore,
- 3:55Speaker 4: you know. You see that happen often.
- 3:57Speaker 1: So if you like the change but you're not getting
- 3:59Speaker 1: validation from your spouse for the change, then you think
- 4:03Speaker 1: that there's a there's a path to divorce there. Or
- 4:07Speaker 1: if your spouse never really appreciated who you were before
- 4:10Speaker 1: the change and now you actually start to see yourself
- 4:13Speaker 1: differently and your spouse is still like, eh.
- 4:16Speaker 3: That's what I think happens. Interesting, That's what in the
- 4:18Speaker 3: situation that we know about family member, I believe that
- 4:21Speaker 3: I believe the person that we knew was not the
- 4:23Speaker 3: greatest spouse and wasn't very validating to his wife, and
- 4:28Speaker 3: I think that when she changed her life and she
- 4:30Speaker 3: was getting attention, I don't think it would have ever happened.
- 4:33Speaker 3: She would have ever stepped out had he not. And
- 4:35Speaker 3: I'm not giving there's no excuse for that. In my opinion,
- 4:37Speaker 3: there's no excuse for that. But I definitely feel like
- 4:40Speaker 3: she wasn't receiving.
- 4:42Speaker 1: You know, one of the things is a father that
- 4:45Speaker 1: was always on my mind. I never wanted the first
- 4:50Speaker 1: person to tell my daughter that she was beautiful to
- 4:53Speaker 1: not be me, for I never wanted some other guy,
- 4:57Speaker 1: some stupid little kid, to show up and be the
- 5:00Speaker 1: first person to pay my daughter attention. I wanted to
- 5:03Speaker 1: make sure that as a dad, she was always getting
- 5:05Speaker 1: attention from me, validation from me, approval from me, so
- 5:10Speaker 1: that she wouldn't fall for a guy that just shows
- 5:12Speaker 1: up starting to do that. Husbands, you need to be
- 5:15Speaker 1: doing the same thing, amen, no matter what stage your
- 5:18Speaker 1: wife is in, no matter where she is, if you
- 5:20Speaker 1: aren't the one giving her validation before before she walks
- 5:24Speaker 1: out the door for the day, who.
- 5:25Speaker 3: Is Yeah, Yeah, I think that's good. I I'm with
- 5:30Speaker 3: you on now one hundred percent.
- 5:32Speaker 1: So Yeah, by the way, y'all have both lovely anyway.
