- 0:41Speaker 3: fi show that I just binge watched for the last
- 0:43Speaker 3: three days on Netflix, and it.

- 0:55Speaker 3: watch that shit.
- 0:56Speaker 1: You were like, it's much I say, bitch is good. Bitch.
- 1:01Speaker 1: We watched it on our euro trip. It kept us
- 1:03Speaker 1: in the house for a night.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Literally we were about to leave and he was like, man,
- 1:06Speaker 2: we've been in Paris already, let's just take let's brow.
- 1:08Speaker 3: Every every time I looked up, I said, oh, the
- 1:10Speaker 3: episode got to be in and what more can happen?
- 1:15Speaker 1: Listen?
- 1:15Speaker 2: That shit was crazy. Listen to that so you can
- 1:19Speaker 2: catch up with us. On a cinema.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yeah, we gonna do a cinema of that hole right now.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Before we get into the letter, I saw that the
- 1:25Speaker 2: subject is I broke up with my high school sweetheart.
- 1:28Speaker 2: So I wanted to ask you speak in high school?
- 1:31Speaker 2: Did you go or did you get an invite for
- 1:33Speaker 2: your ten year high school reunion?
- 1:35Speaker 1: Like would you have gone? Because I don't know if
- 1:37Speaker 1: you went, you didn't talk about it.
- 1:38Speaker 3: But so high school is interesting for me because I
- 1:43Speaker 3: went to four.
- 1:46Speaker 1: I went to four high schools.
- 1:47Speaker 3: So junior freshman year I went to Doctor Phillips and Orlando.
- 1:53Speaker 3: Then I split my sophomore year between Orlando and Atlanta.
- 1:58Speaker 3: I went to oak Ridgehigh SCHO School and Lakeside High School,
- 2:02Speaker 3: and then I split my junior year.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Back and graduated from Evans.
- 2:09Speaker 3: So I went to DP, Oakridge, Lakeside, and E High.
- 2:14Speaker 3: So for me, even by the time I did my
- 2:17Speaker 3: senior year, I only took two classes and worked.
- 2:21Speaker 1: So my high school experience was I just.
- 2:29Speaker 3: I don't have a strong connection to any one particular
- 2:32Speaker 3: high school. I have memories for each grade, but I
- 2:35Speaker 3: don't think a ten year anniversary makes sense for me
- 2:39Speaker 3: because I wasn't there. I wasn't out of high school
- 2:41Speaker 3: for any longer than two years at any given moment.
- 2:44Speaker 1: So like, I don't have that connection. Oh, I get that.
- 2:47Speaker 3: I think I have a stronger connection with my middle school.
- 2:51Speaker 3: But that's really that's really uh kind of bittersweet because
- 2:55Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of the middle school boys
- 2:58Speaker 3: from the middle school I went to shout out to
- 3:00Speaker 3: Walker Middle School, a lot of them ended up getting
- 3:03Speaker 3: locked up and killed, like like I remember, like dealing
- 3:08Speaker 3: with two deaths in high school. I was like, yeah,
- 3:12Speaker 3: like and then a lot of them are locked up.
- 3:15Speaker 3: Some of them reach out to me like on the Facebook.
- 3:18Speaker 3: But I look at everybody, no one has like my life,
- 3:21Speaker 3: and I just don't feel connected to what they don't.
- 3:25Speaker 1: A lot like they.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Don't they don't like real homegrown lives, like not anything.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Hosts people in our lives.
- 3:34Speaker 3: I feel like, I know, good, good for y'all having
- 3:37Speaker 3: the kids, having the husbands, living in the same homes
- 3:40Speaker 3: that y'all grew up in. Like I it's just real
- 3:44Speaker 3: country And I don't think people assume that Orlando's like
- 3:47Speaker 3: a country city. But when I go back, like, mind you,
- 3:51Speaker 3: none of my high schools even looked the same they
- 3:54Speaker 3: tore down Oakridge and Evans, and then DP also has
- 3:58Speaker 3: been restructures.
- 3:59Speaker 1: My high schools don't even look the same.
- 4:02Speaker 2: But I kind of love that some of my friends
- 4:06Speaker 2: are exactly who they were when I left to Orlando.
- 4:08Speaker 2: Not that I don't want them to elevate, but I
- 4:10Speaker 2: don't know if I had this conversation with you.
- 4:14Speaker 1: I feel like I did, maybe on a town hall.
- 4:16Speaker 2: But my friends with simple lives are happy, happier than
- 4:21Speaker 2: my friends that are making a bunch of money and
- 4:23Speaker 2: working in entertainment and blah blah blah and the other
- 4:25Speaker 2: layer to them. They all have some kind of property ownership,
- 4:29Speaker 2: paid off cars. Maybe their cars are older, but I
- 4:32Speaker 2: think there's something to be no. I talked about this
- 4:34Speaker 2: with my braider. She was from Orlando too, and we
- 4:38Speaker 2: just randomly found out she's an LA braider. Right shout
- 4:41Speaker 2: out to Eve does La.
- 4:42Speaker 1: She did be ath these raids and now she did
- 4:44Speaker 1: that I called very important.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Well, while we sitting down talking about Orlando, I was like, Bruh,
- 4:49Speaker 2: all of my friends in Orlando fucking own a crib,
- 4:52Speaker 2: and none of my friends in New York and LA
- 4:54Speaker 2: really do.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Some of them do, but they're like either super wealthy
- 4:57Speaker 1: like Cross is.
- 4:58Speaker 2: So different, bro, That's what I'm saying though, So when
- 5:01Speaker 2: we talk about terms of success or having somebody's life,
- 5:05Speaker 2: like they have a lot of the check mark things
- 5:07Speaker 2: that you.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Know I'm watching. I'm just bringing her up because I
- 5:11Speaker 1: was just chatting with her.
- 5:12Speaker 2: She's like, I think I'm a traditional and a modern wife,
- 5:14Speaker 2: Sarah Fontanell. A lot of women are watching that content
- 5:18Speaker 2: about becoming a wife, and all these bitches back home
- 5:22Speaker 2: kind of did not that I think a nigga really
- 5:25Speaker 2: identifies anything, because.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Some of you hate your niggas.
- 5:27Speaker 2: A lot of you do, you know a lot that
- 5:29Speaker 2: is the thing that they tell us we're supposed to have,
- 5:31Speaker 2: get married, have babies, buy a home, blah blah blah,
- 5:35Speaker 2: and they've all kind of done it, so I think
- 5:36Speaker 2: it looks different. Maybe it doesn't look like maybe at
- 5:39Speaker 2: the nice apartments that we rent, but at the end
- 5:42Speaker 2: of the day, they do have a net worth and
- 5:44Speaker 2: they've grown themselves. So I feel there's a sense of
- 5:50Speaker 2: humility that I get when I go to Orlando sometimes
- 5:53Speaker 2: because I just became a homeowner at thirty five years old. Well,
- 5:58Speaker 2: I guess thirty four whatever. In January. But I've been
- 6:00Speaker 2: making money for a long time and I didn't really
- 6:02Speaker 2: do that. I grew businesses before I kind of like
- 6:04Speaker 2: planted my roots, And I just wonder, did that kind
- 6:08Speaker 2: of like make me go far back?
- 6:10Speaker 1: Even now planning a wedding.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Maybe some of you saw I posted on my story
- 6:13Speaker 2: a few weeks ago.
- 6:15Speaker 1: My man and I looked up.
- 6:16Speaker 2: The wedding we want what I want, and uh, you know,
- 6:21Speaker 2: it was about a quarter million dollars. That's the truth.
- 6:24Speaker 2: I know that weddings can be done for fifty thousand dollars.
- 6:26Speaker 2: That's not the case for the things I like, the
- 6:29Speaker 2: fantasy wedding that I want, the DJs I want to
- 6:32Speaker 2: play at my wedding, the caviar I want, the nice champagne,
- 6:35Speaker 2: the experiential things I want my guests to have, and
- 6:38Speaker 2: my friends, you know what I mean, Like the maybe
- 6:41Speaker 2: one seventy five, But it is what it is. Weddings
- 6:43Speaker 2: are fucking expensive when you have all these big dreams.
- 6:45Speaker 2: And so the second we look at a number like that,
- 6:48Speaker 2: he's like, let's just buy.
- 6:49Speaker 1: Another crib, Like why wouldn't we have another crib?
- 6:53Speaker 2: More properties? You know what I'm saying, Like I get it.
- 6:57Speaker 2: That's where our head starts to.
- 6:58Speaker 1: Go because we start attaining different shit. Whereas I think I.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Mean, and I want to correct the when I say
- 7:06Speaker 3: me because I'm not saying that none of them are
- 7:07Speaker 3: happy or successful to me though, Like, I just really
- 7:13Speaker 3: don't have a lot in common with people who have
- 7:17Speaker 3: those check marked ideals of life. I don't want kids,
- 7:25Speaker 3: don't care about them, don't bring them around, don't want
- 7:28Speaker 3: to see the pictures of them, don't.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Care, but don't care about quite a few. But that's
- 7:36Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
- 7:37Speaker 3: But for right so why do you think I want
- 7:39Speaker 3: to go to a reunion all a whole bunch of
- 7:42Speaker 3: strangers and talk about their lives that I don't care about.
- 7:45Speaker 1: I barely care about the ones I don't care about
- 7:47Speaker 1: kids like.
- 7:47Speaker 2: That, Like I want to tell you though, becoming a
- 7:53Speaker 2: mom not becoming a wife because we fuck other people.
- 7:57Speaker 2: But becoming a mom scares me. And losing friendships, not
- 8:03Speaker 2: losing them, that's the wrong word. Not being as close
- 8:07Speaker 2: as I once was. Not many of my friends or
- 8:10Speaker 2: moms unless their kids are like ten to twelve or
- 8:12Speaker 2: some shit.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not gonna lie my main core group right now.
- 8:16Speaker 3: I realize is Crystalline Jazz my two friends with no kids,
- 8:21Speaker 3: of course, and like the way that it's funny because
- 8:24Speaker 3: probably once a month, bitch christ to be calling me like, bitch,
- 8:28Speaker 3: we made the right motherfucking decisions, will call me like girl,
- 8:32Speaker 3: I get another dog before I deal with what the
- 8:34Speaker 3: fuck these bitches dealing with. And so like, she got
- 8:37Speaker 3: one dog, three cats, and she's like, bitch, and I'll
- 8:39Speaker 3: get another one before I sit here and deal with
- 8:41Speaker 3: the shit that these bitches is dealing with with their
- 8:43Speaker 3: baby daddies.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Bro, I'm not mad like Bessie scared. Baby daddy shit
- 8:49Speaker 1: is the ghetto.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Listen, I'm not saying marriage is exempt because the nigga
- 8:53Speaker 2: could do you dirty, but.
- 8:56Speaker 1: Dash she is, so I give up.
- 9:00Speaker 3: Actually, what you just asked was very similar to what
- 9:04Speaker 3: our letter is this week, y'all. If you had a purpose,
- 9:07Speaker 3: Oh look at you, Look at your producing baby, I said,
- 9:10Speaker 3: speaking of high school, what our letters about?
- 9:12Speaker 1: Oh, come on, produce this, y'all. If you want to
- 9:22Speaker 1: send a letter it to us, send it to Decisions.
- 9:25Speaker 3: Pod at gmail dot com, and we'll give y'all our
- 9:30Speaker 3: unofficial expert advice on whatever the fuck you are having
- 9:34Speaker 3: a dilemma with uh. This one was interesting because it
- 9:37Speaker 3: takes us on a little curveball, which I enjoyed while
- 9:39Speaker 3: I was.
- 9:40Speaker 1: Reading I'm all curby like I did, Let's do it.
- 9:43Speaker 3: So I ended up breaking up with my high school
- 9:46Speaker 3: sweetheart and my daughter's dad. Look at it, here we go,
- 9:49Speaker 3: baby daddy's after years of feeling like I wasn't being
- 9:54Speaker 3: chosen or prioritized. Damn, you gave that nigga a whole
- 9:58Speaker 3: kid and don't feel chose a prot I see what
- 10:00Speaker 3: I mean.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Anyway, we had talked about it.
- 10:03Speaker 3: This time, I'm just saying I don't care. That's what
- 10:06Speaker 3: they be doing. That's why I don't want one. We
- 10:09Speaker 3: had talked about it multiple times, but nothing really changed.
- 10:12Speaker 3: About five days after we broke up, he went on
- 10:15Speaker 3: a trip back to our hometown that had already been planned.
- 10:19Speaker 3: I had a feeling that trip would tell me everything
- 10:21Speaker 3: I needed to know, and it did. A few weeks later,
- 10:25Speaker 3: I found out he flew his coworker out there and
- 10:28Speaker 3: also had another woman from back home around his family.
- 10:31Speaker 3: He was apparently telling people we had broken up. Well,
- 10:33Speaker 3: bit y'all did. When I first wrote in I talked
- 10:36Speaker 3: about never being courted, no flowers, no dates, no intentional
- 10:40Speaker 3: one on one time. Then I found out he booked
- 10:43Speaker 3: a waterfront hotel and dinner for his coworker. That honestly
- 10:48Speaker 3: confirmed everything I've been feeling about never being chosen. After that,
- 10:52Speaker 3: I started taking someone new more seriously. We've been dating
- 10:56Speaker 3: for about three months and things are moving fast. We're
- 10:59Speaker 3: talking about moving in together and even small matching tattoos.
- 11:03Speaker 1: I know I ain't gonna hold you. I'd have made that.
- 11:07Speaker 3: One of my uh you know, like I don't want kids,
- 11:10Speaker 3: I don't want to move in, I don't want certain things.
- 11:12Speaker 1: I don'm told you don't want to put a nigga
- 11:14Speaker 1: name on you? No, no, no, no, not named. I Don'm
- 11:17Speaker 1: told both niggas we need matching tattoos. Y yeah, yeah,
- 11:22Speaker 1: yeah yeah.
- 11:22Speaker 3: I said, we just got to do match and tattoos.
- 11:24Speaker 3: I said, I don't care it's a little king and queen.
- 11:26Speaker 3: I don't care if it's something gotta match.
- 11:29Speaker 2: I did feel like once I had a matching tattoo,
- 11:32Speaker 2: I was like, we're like.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Yeah, for life, And I said, and I'm fine with
- 11:37Speaker 3: tattoos are friends and both and both my.
- 11:40Speaker 1: I got matching tattoos. With friends. Well one ain't even
- 11:43Speaker 1: a friend no more. But it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
- 11:47Speaker 1: I only know Crystal. No I have another one. But uh, anyways, anyways,
- 11:53Speaker 1: let's not go too much on it. I actually.
- 11:56Speaker 3: To me and my mom get one, me and my
- 11:58Speaker 3: sister got Yeah. I got his tattoos with a couple
- 12:00Speaker 3: of people, but not none of my niggas. Anyways, this thing,
- 12:06Speaker 3: the thing is I genuinely love who he is and.
- 12:09Speaker 1: How he treats me.
- 12:11Speaker 3: So my question is, can feelings this strong after only
- 12:15Speaker 3: three months be real?
- 12:17Speaker 1: Is it possible this is genuine love?
- 12:20Speaker 3: Or am I subconsciously using this relationship to get over
- 12:24Speaker 3: someone I spent the last ten years with. Side note,
- 12:29Speaker 3: my ex and I still live together and things eventually
- 12:33Speaker 3: became physical after he found out I was seeing someone else.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Ooh, that completely closed the door for me.
- 12:40Speaker 3: And I know that situation has made me even more
- 12:42Speaker 3: ready to move out. But I also know my feelings
- 12:45Speaker 3: for this new person feel very real, and I'm trying
- 12:49Speaker 3: to figure out if I'm seeing this clearly.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Okay, Now, I don't know if you gonna like what
- 12:57Speaker 1: I have to say.
- 12:58Speaker 3: Oh, I was gonna say what you have to say
- 12:59Speaker 3: go because you just met this man three months ago.
- 13:05Speaker 3: In your mind, you're second guessing if this just feels
- 13:09Speaker 3: good because it's the next person you're running to right
- 13:12Speaker 3: after this person.
- 13:13Speaker 1: But the fact that y'all are also talking about moving
- 13:16Speaker 1: in together.
- 13:17Speaker 3: I need to know if that was before or after
- 13:20Speaker 3: the physical abuse from the baby daddy that you've been
- 13:24Speaker 3: with for the last decade that you still live with,
- 13:26Speaker 3: because this could all genuinely just be a trauma and
- 13:31Speaker 3: emotional response knowing that you and this guy are just
- 13:35Speaker 3: enjoying time with each other. You could be what's the
- 13:38Speaker 3: word when you make things bigger than what they really are.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And not imagining where would to eat or some emphasize
- 13:49Speaker 1: maybe no, no, you could be whatever you could be
- 13:52Speaker 1: doing you can yet there you go. I knew it
- 13:55Speaker 1: started with eat.
- 13:56Speaker 3: You could be exaggerating even the great treatment that you're
- 14:01Speaker 3: feeling from this person, also knowing and feeling hurt by
- 14:06Speaker 3: your ex and baby Daddy showing up for women in
- 14:09Speaker 3: ways he didn't show up for you, like, So this
- 14:11Speaker 3: could be you literally creating a scenario that is making
- 14:14Speaker 3: you feel like you're getting a better treatment and a
- 14:16Speaker 3: better relationship and have an opportunity to leave a now
- 14:21Speaker 3: situation that you now emotionally know is absolutely over, especially
- 14:25Speaker 3: because he put his hands on you.
- 14:28Speaker 1: So I don't even know where to start.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Because once you said the book, the waterfront hotel and
- 14:35Speaker 2: all that, I was done.
- 14:36Speaker 1: But he ain't do that for you. Let me tell you.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Now, y'all know I ain't scared to lose itaga. However,
- 14:46Speaker 2: I hope he never hears this. But I've had this
- 14:51Speaker 2: conversations with my friends so many times because people in
- 14:54Speaker 2: open relationship, people that are in open relationships always have
- 14:57Speaker 2: to explain.
- 14:57Speaker 1: How you could cheat.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Cheating us is mainly lying or crossing a boundary. Yes,
- 15:04Speaker 2: now what I forget.
- 15:05Speaker 3: I'd let me find something out now someone else without
- 15:09Speaker 3: finding it out from you.
- 15:10Speaker 1: Hello.
- 15:11Speaker 2: So I had this conversation with somebody that was like, y'all,
- 15:17Speaker 2: are Hella in love?
- 15:18Speaker 1: And everybody that's around us can see that.
- 15:21Speaker 2: What if there was a time and a place where
- 15:25Speaker 2: you wanted to.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Be monogamous, because right now we both love what.
- 15:29Speaker 2: We're doing, and he stepped outside of that, would you
- 15:32Speaker 2: believe that he wouldn't do you dirty? I was like,
- 15:36Speaker 2: of course, I don't think he could, Like bitch on
- 15:39Speaker 2: my Sorry, I almost sid the R word.
- 15:42Speaker 1: I feel like anybody could lie.
- 15:44Speaker 2: The only things that I feel guaranteed in knowing I
- 15:48Speaker 2: don't have a shysty nigga.
- 15:50Speaker 1: And by that I mean.
- 15:53Speaker 2: I really believe I could be at a party with
- 15:55Speaker 2: my man and a girl could be holding her titties
- 15:57Speaker 2: in her hand and want to fuck him in the bathroom.
- 15:59Speaker 1: He'd be like, let me, let me go, get my
- 16:00Speaker 1: bitch hold on. She real cool. He doesn't want to
- 16:03Speaker 1: embarrass me. He's a very loyal man.
- 16:06Speaker 2: He really takes pride in making sure we honor each other.
- 16:10Speaker 2: I made a joke once, like, you know, you don't
- 16:13Speaker 2: be taking good pictures, and he was like, don't be
- 16:15Speaker 2: saying that in front of people. Don't ever put me
- 16:17Speaker 2: like diet And I was like over pictures. He's like,
- 16:20Speaker 2: you don't understand. We uplift each other at all times,
- 16:23Speaker 2: Like we always have to make sure that what we
- 16:26Speaker 2: put out into this world, celebrating each other, loving on
- 16:28Speaker 2: each other, is always speaking highly and positive. And that
- 16:31Speaker 2: was really early on in our relationship. And so what's
- 16:33Speaker 2: translated to that is respecting me. I'm going as far
- 16:37Speaker 2: as to say, if I found out myni was fucking
- 16:41Speaker 2: a bitch back home wherever that could be.
- 16:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna get mad.
- 16:46Speaker 3: But whatever, if I found out a waterfront hotel, hold
- 16:53Speaker 3: on waterfront waterfront.
- 16:56Speaker 2: I tied this motherfucking baby, this baby cry, I got
- 16:59Speaker 2: stretch marks, and I'm.
- 17:00Speaker 1: Gonna tell you why. I think that's disrespectful.
- 17:04Speaker 2: I think there are so many ways that we could
- 17:07Speaker 2: tell someone to show up for us, and once they
- 17:10Speaker 2: sharp start doing so much shit, that's a big fuck
- 17:13Speaker 2: you because saying.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Like oh no, no, no, what do you mean this?
- 17:16Speaker 2: This? That?
- 17:16Speaker 1: But it's so simple for you to do it with
- 17:18Speaker 1: someone else.
- 17:19Speaker 3: I mean, not only that, you leaving out the other
- 17:22Speaker 3: disrespectful part, the hitting bitch.
- 17:24Speaker 1: He brought a whole I mean, the physical abuse is
- 17:27Speaker 1: not a feel like we're having a conversation anymore.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Like brought a whole bitch around the family, bitch. They've
- 17:34Speaker 3: been together for the last ten years and got kids,
- 17:36Speaker 3: so you know the family ran back to the family.
- 17:38Speaker 1: I made a joke about the waterfront hotel of the family.
- 17:40Speaker 1: That's why I had my said, did it? That's embarrassing, bitch.
- 17:45Speaker 3: So five days after we broke up, you paraded another
- 17:49Speaker 3: bitch in front of the family that I've known for
- 17:51Speaker 3: the last ten years.
- 17:52Speaker 2: My nigga, I don't like having a plot niggas mergers,
- 17:55Speaker 2: and that's what I'm saying about, Like, Yeah, you made
- 17:58Speaker 2: me a joke the Waterfront Hotel. I'm being silly, but
- 18:03Speaker 2: having people around a woman that I will now be
- 18:06Speaker 2: around makes me a joke. And now you've embarrassed me
- 18:10Speaker 2: and to take me to the point where I'm a
- 18:12Speaker 2: fucking joke.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Oh, I'm done to me.
- 18:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been through physical abuse and I've been so
- 18:19Speaker 2: emotionally hurt by people. It's not that I would ever
- 18:21Speaker 2: want to go back, but I can remember more painful
- 18:25Speaker 2: wounds from the way that men have treated me versus
- 18:27Speaker 2: being hit by one. And there's something about physical abuse
- 18:31Speaker 2: for anyone that's ever experienced it. I will definitely have
- 18:33Speaker 2: to put a trigger warning in this where it's like
- 18:35Speaker 2: sometimes the words could deeper, dog like the way niggas
- 18:38Speaker 2: will talk to you, the way they say unforgivable shit.
- 18:41Speaker 2: It's hard the way they do unforgivable shit, you know
- 18:44Speaker 2: what I mean.
- 18:45Speaker 3: Like, I think that's always been the thing for me,
- 18:48Speaker 3: and maybe this is me coming from my friends having
- 18:51Speaker 3: the most Foullus mouths to me. Yeah, I mean, and
- 18:55Speaker 3: this also comes from again, my own ignorance. In my
- 18:58Speaker 3: experience ever had a man put his hands on me.
- 19:01Speaker 3: So for me, there's been things said that somehow I've
- 19:06Speaker 3: been forgiven.
- 19:08Speaker 1: I I don't know how I.
- 19:10Speaker 3: Would ever forgive a man who put hands on me.
- 19:13Speaker 3: Like that's something that I mean. And maybe that comes
- 19:17Speaker 3: from you again because they'll do it again. But no,
- 19:20Speaker 3: but that's what I'm saying, Like they're gonna do it again.
- 19:22Speaker 1: I have never heard the nigga plays his hands on you.
- 19:26Speaker 1: He gonna do it again.
- 19:27Speaker 3: And sometimes it gets to where not only does it
- 19:29Speaker 3: get worse, they start using weapons.
- 19:31Speaker 2: They like, oh, I know what I was trying to
- 19:34Speaker 2: say when I said that. Okay, you leave a nigga
- 19:36Speaker 2: quicker when they hit you.
- 19:38Speaker 1: But sometimes you should. You should.
- 19:44Speaker 2: But for some reason, when we get in a bad
- 19:46Speaker 2: argument or whatever, we forgive somebody. But then you're like, fuck,
- 19:49Speaker 2: but you did that thing. But you said that thing
- 19:51Speaker 2: because we think the highest patina of pain is physical,
- 19:55Speaker 2: and it's really not. And that's why when we had
- 19:58Speaker 2: the I'm not scared to lose a nigga conversation and
- 20:01Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. And she said he could
- 20:03Speaker 2: hit me, and I'm he's dead, which I believe. I
- 20:06Speaker 2: don't think Tara would take a man being abusive to her. However,
- 20:09Speaker 2: verbal abuse is another fucking layer there is.
- 20:13Speaker 3: I do think it does, though, depend on on what
- 20:17Speaker 3: said and I say this, And what's crazy is hearing
- 20:19Speaker 3: you say this is because oh and maybe it's because
- 20:23Speaker 3: we're so good right now and somehow we've gotten past it.
- 20:26Speaker 3: I've said some awful things to you about you that
- 20:31Speaker 3: should have been unforgiving and vice versa. But I think
- 20:35Speaker 3: we were able to get over that bitch if we like,
- 20:38Speaker 3: got into a physical if I'm not like what we did,
- 20:41Speaker 3: get into a physical fight, never mind, don't mind me.
- 20:45Speaker 1: He was like, we see, we cannot talk about abuse anymore.
- 20:52Speaker 3: We in our relationship have had verbal emotional like we've
- 20:57Speaker 3: had all the abuses financial, We don't did all the
- 21:00Speaker 3: abuses to each other.
- 21:01Speaker 1: At one point I used to feel like, remember fight,
- 21:05Speaker 1: which I forgot.
- 21:06Speaker 3: I forgot we got in a physical fight. We can't
- 21:08Speaker 3: talk about this anymore.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Never mind. We don't know if it's his sister. We
- 21:12Speaker 1: just know you shouldn't be with him. That's all we know, just.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Don't be But also the question is, yes, you can't
- 21:18Speaker 3: fall for somebody within three months. Yes it could be real,
- 21:23Speaker 3: it could last long. You could get married and have
- 21:25Speaker 3: cute little kids later, all the things. However, right now
- 21:29Speaker 3: you are experiencing being hurt both physically and emotionally from
- 21:34Speaker 3: someone that not only you gave a child to, but
- 21:37Speaker 3: someone you spent the last decade of your life with.
- 21:40Speaker 1: So I don't even know how it woud feel about
- 21:42Speaker 1: Heim the kid like bro, yeah, like so to me,
- 21:45Speaker 1: and you still live with this nigga.
- 21:46Speaker 2: Physical abuse is so scary now that I'm about to
- 21:49Speaker 2: get married. You know, you talk about pre nups and
- 21:51Speaker 2: post nups and all the shit.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Right, Oh, I'll put I will put that enough. Do
- 21:55Speaker 1: you know?
- 21:56Speaker 2: Physical abuse is something that is when it was coming
- 21:59Speaker 2: up in the cussion, not with him, Like I was
- 22:02Speaker 2: just looking at stuff and I was like, it's so
- 22:05Speaker 2: far removed from my brain on this person. I know,
- 22:08Speaker 2: holy shit, what would my life be like? I see
- 22:11Speaker 2: him interact with his nieces, he's such a soft and
- 22:15Speaker 2: gentle uncle.
- 22:16Speaker 1: See him with his.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Mother, How that I would fuck my head up. I
- 22:21Speaker 2: can't imagine the pain you're experiencing for the person you've
- 22:23Speaker 2: known ten years, and for the first time he ever
- 22:26Speaker 2: did this. I really have a lot of empathy. I
- 22:29Speaker 2: don't think it's the first time you see in his rage.
- 22:31Speaker 2: I think it's the first time.
- 22:32Speaker 1: He laid the hands on you, because, bitch you look at.
- 22:34Speaker 3: He could sit here and parade another bitch around your family,
- 22:37Speaker 3: He could take another bitch to a waterfront hotel and
- 22:40Speaker 3: you tell him you got somebody in the picture, And
- 22:43Speaker 3: now you want to motherfucking bruised ego, ass faced ass
- 22:46Speaker 3: fuck ass puss ass watherfucker like. This is what I'm saying.
- 22:49Speaker 3: Niggas can't get take what they dish out. Break up
- 22:54Speaker 3: with that nigga, I say, move on, But I will
- 22:57Speaker 3: say that you need time to heal, because I don't
- 23:00Speaker 3: think that you need to sit here and find someone
- 23:02Speaker 3: to just be a rebound who's gonna like You need
- 23:05Speaker 3: to find yourself and be whole as a single mother,
- 23:09Speaker 3: as a woman who knows what she's not gonna deal
- 23:12Speaker 3: with again. And I think you can still keep seeing
- 23:15Speaker 3: this guy. I think three months is way too early
- 23:18Speaker 3: to move in with somebody, nigga, way way too early,
- 23:22Speaker 3: way too early.
- 23:23Speaker 2: John shouldn't have had a roommate moving in three months. No,
- 23:25Speaker 2: three months is way.
- 23:26Speaker 1: Too Actually we're still friends. But other than that.

- 23:32Speaker 3: three years know about three bitches that the may babies
- 23:36Speaker 3: with a nigga.
