In our opening chatter we talk about how our week has been. What’s on Our Timeline? This one actually comes from Ebony K. Williams via her black marriage movement. Let’s Talk Through It Our first friend says he really loves and admires his girlfriend. But his issue is that she makes so much more money than he does and he’s not sure how to step up and be the man in the relationship. Our other friend really just wants advice. She has been married to a very nice man for 10 years. They don't have any children and he’s kind and caring. The problem is she is forced to be head of the household. Her philosophy is, If you're going to be the man, then you need to have a plan and lead according to that plan. Until we meet again. Pray! Work! Slay! And Show Off Your Melanated Excellence!
In our opening chatter we talk about how our week has been. What’s on Our Timeline? Today's timeline comes to us from Dr. Umar via Jericho Builders via Latreulatay. This actually is a very interesting topic of conversation. And the angle in which Dr. Umar addressed this, it's kind of biblical, kind of worldly. It's very interesting. Let’s Talk Through It Our first friend says her and her husband got into it. He tells her everything that happens at work and with his friends and she tells him the same. However, a few weeks ago at game night, he jokingly called her friend a pimp. Her friend looked at her and just walked out of the room. When she tried to talk to her, she said she was pissed that she would tell all her business to her husband. Our other friend says her best friend is one of her favorite people in the world, and she loves her to life. But she is annoyed with her. She shares everything with her wife. She understands that you shouldn't keep secrets from your partner, but she literally shares everything. Her and her husband are currently separated and she recently had a one night stand with one of their mutual friends. She did not tell a soul except for her friend. There was a cookout for Memorial Day at her house with her estranged husband and friend's wife asked her, was it awkward for their friend and her husband to be in the same place? Until we meet again.
