It took me some time to truly understand the dynamics of William and Joan's relationship. What I've come to discover after 8 seasons of "Girlfriends" is Joan represented the love, understanding and support that William lacked in his upbringing. And William represented the vessel that Joan was that needed love, understanding and support in her upbringing. When Joan's mother was presented she was a very direct and somewhat cold woman who didn't display the ability to nurture. Just as with William's father. He was a very direct and somewhat cold man that was a Judge who climbed out of poverty and saw warmth, kindness and sensitivity as weakness. The reason why William and Joan didn't work as a couple is because they knew that they both truly loved each other, but it wasn't that kind of love. And the fact they they both were handed defeats in their previous relationships. Them getting together has to be the answer. William and Joan needed each other on a completely different level. This series proved that they needed someone to accept the crazy, silly, immature and dependent side of themselves. So long analysis said, you're absolutely right. William was Joan's true best friend. Indeed.
I think at that point Maya, Lynn and Joan realised best to shut up and let it roll. Also they got nothing to cool off Toni's burn from William. They all out of remedies.
The look on Maya's face 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 classic!!!!! Girl I have the DVDs from back in the day and ALWAYSSSSSS loved this scene🤣🤣🤣 Yesssss Big Willie, Read them Heifa's
It’s kind of true though looking back in hindsight these were terrible women. It’s one thing to have flaws but these women were pretty heartless screwing over men that cared about them for their own selfish needs
Whether when Yvonne left him at the altar, that broke him. I felt so bad for him and he just really lost. Yvonne did William wrong! He probably shouldn’t have asked her to quit the force but dang he didn’t deserve that.
I don’t why but I thought William was kinda cute to me, and he was really hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing. I almost died when he said “SILENCE!” And the “cheater cheater pumpkin eater” bit.
He was! Yvonne broke him! I don’t blame him. He loved that woman and she left him at the altar. He was going to be in a foul mood for a couple days and honestly all three of them except Joan deserved this shade.
I remember when I first started watching this show this scene had me rolling around in tears. Like to the point where my stomach actually started to hurt really bad 😂😂 gosh I love this show
I love how William was Joan’s ONLY real friend and always told them about themselves. He was like the mirror they needed. I hated when Mya became his assistant and tried to run over him and I love that he was quick to fire her. and when she came back begging for her job he didn’t fire his assistant to hire her back like Joan would’ve done. She deserved it.
It was good that he fired her. It pushed her more with the book she wrote. But yeah, Joan would've taken her right back. Joan was too nice to them all.
William was the best character on the show! He was my absolute favourite. I don’t understand why he wasn’t part of their reunion? (the interview Charlemagn hosted it)
They did because they all had serious issues. But William never did Joan like that he knew better not to why he was staying with her. But Joan way deep down enjoyed this because this is what she should have told them herself.
Did William forget that he didn’t even tell his mother he was getting married and that he kept his entire relationship with Yvonne a secret from his mother? That was an incredibly jerk move. Yet there he is wallowing in self pity.
Did you forget that she never wanted to marry him in the first place? Jerk move on her to lead him on, publicly embarrass him, and make him spend thousands for nothing.
@@ramlasuleiman6645, no he wasn’t. William was a good dude who got burned badly by a woman who never wanted to marry him? Ok so his mother didn’t know about her, you can worry about after the marriage.
I remember watching this in real time during the actual episode when it first aired & I had never laughed so damn hard on any other episodes combined🥴🤣
The most telling thing about this is that even though he was telling the truth about them, they had to downplay him to being a, “whiny/sassy black man”; this comment section proves this point. Oh well, 2023: “We ain’t going no more.”
