First of all the ex wife has no business coming around to family functions because she is no longer part of the family period. The husband/boyfriend need to grow some balls and set boundaries.

I was on the same path as Rhonda until marriage was thrown onto the scenario. Generally, I think dating a friend’s ex-anything is a hard no. It opens up the possibility that sneaky intentions were taking place for both the friend and ex. However, if I’m married it has most likely been many months or even years since I had anything with that ex. If my friend, the ex, and I share the same social circle, it’s not unlikely that they had a chance to connect and be curious to explore things further. Meanwhile, I’ve met the love of my life and it’s assumed that the door with my ex would be forever closed. At that point, my past doesn’t matter and I wouldn’t make the assumption that a connection was made in a deceptive way. I think making the ex off limits would be a self-centered move. I would prefer it to be mentioned to me as a form of transparency/courtesy. However, the friend and ex could be 2 good people that may end up having a stronger/deeper romantic connection. And that’s ok (for me). Bonus thought: I think exes are forever off limits for other family members. I would not be ok if I had a sister or cousin date my ex even if I were married. That’s making it a possibility that the ex will become family if things went all the way for them and that’s when I draw the line.
I agree , you should avoid awkward situations but at the same time not every is forthcoming and your also asking someone to have alot of trust then , bc if I find out you sleeping with my old work and taking it seriously n didn’t talk to me first u prob don’t respect me or the friendship or vice versa you bring in your new chick and she finds out your old work is still in your friend circle , it’s just messy and u asking to bring out someone insecurities
Sorry Rhonda but you not wanting your friend to mess with someone that u had no feelings for what so ever is having a sense of ownership over a person & it gives controlling. The question is: why would u care? If you messed with somebody that is in the friend circle, and they all remained cool and you got married years later, whenever you see him at game night you gonna be sitting next to your husband thinking about how you have had sex with ole dude?
Hi! Thanks for the comment. As I shared in the episode, I wouldn’t care about the person I used to date, I care about my friends mindset on why she’d want to date/deal with anyone I used to date. That’s just weird to me and it speaks lowly of their character, in my opinion.
8:47 in - in this economy the beauty effect and the bank effect matter however as a help meet - I’m here to help you meet your needs … and that’s not her dude
It does seem like it jealousy. As if she wants him to turn himself down because she isn’t like that. Ive been that person and I realized that I needed to allow my light to shine that was one of the greatest gifts I got from that relationship.Now my light shines at full power!
No woman wants a open relationship if her man is great in bed. That mean you are a great dude . But you lacking. So she got in her head, maybe I can keep him but have that other guy. She just need one dude to take care of that one need. I think it's just like a man asking for a poly relationship: sex is always going to be the first reason why. The other benefits after.
My partner has lost all of his family, and the only ones alive are his two adult children, who i believe dont like me because im quite a few years younger than him. I get the feeling they are wierded out or grossed out by our relationship, and they are distancing themselves from their father, which i think will hurt our relationship because he is becoming depressed. His friends have also distanced themselves from us, and i feel hopeless. I just want us to have healthy, happy relationships with people in our lives but i feel like people judge us and our relationship negatively.
Also, I was told if I entertained the guy I was in love with, my family will cut me off financially. He is not in the position to pick up where my family would left off. After 3 years, he is still not in the position. He left for another woman. I’m kind of glad I listened to my family. I’m not jeopardizing my kids inheritance for a potential mate who wouldn’t stick around when the going got tough.
The man I’m in love with loves to smoke cigarettes and drink beer. My mother doesn’t approve of that. There is a stigma that says men who do these things molest children. I have 2 daughters. I carried on with him for 3 years without bringing him around, he got sick of it. He left me on my birthday for an older woman who within 1 month introduced him to her 2 adult daughters and her mother. He is now living with her and her family. I’m beyond hurt, but I want nothing more for him than to be happy.
Rhonda, I appreciate you being honest on your experience with dating while young. It takes bravery to put truths online about making mistakes while you were young. We are human and we all make mistakes. So thank you for your vulnerability and openness. I respect you too Dre with your honesty about you and your wife and the respect you show Bre. You have such an amazing aura about you and It gives me hope for the younger men of future generations. Thank you both for your openness Ej🫶🏾💪🏾
In the 20 min of the video, there's a saying, deep level connection while just talking alone because both of their hearts feel right, like in the same place, emotionally will lead to real sexual cheating
I have so much respect for Dre I love his demeanor, how relaxed and thoughtful he is even when he speak of his wife. You can tell he been through somethings and learned lessons. Dre is awesome
I enjoy watching/ listening to this show I would like more than one scenario and for you both to open up more … what things were you doing that you knew were wrong ???? Open up
