Welcome to Carefully Reckless, a production of iHeartRadio and The Black Effect. Oh shit, we back on the air. Welcome back to yet another Carefully Reckless episode with your girl Jess Hilarious. I'm going to be fixing the mess. Hold on, let me get this phlegm out my throat. Ahem.

Now, y'all took a vacation. I know a lot of y'all saw the vacation, the vacation that I went on. Yes, I had fun and I work very, very, very, very, very hard, y'all. And I just wanted to enjoy the fruits of my labor last week. And I could have done a podcast from Mexico, but I just wanted to, it seemed like every time I go on vacation, that's all I do is work. Because the industry that I'm in is a little different. If you don't work, you don't make no goddamn money.

So, you know, I can't take off and then still get paid for vacation leave and shit. I work for myself. So I could have very well done that. But I knew that y'all would understand that even I have to clock out sometimes and not be just hilarious, but be more of Jessica Moore, y'all. And I had the best time.

But now it's time to get back to work because y'all been missing me. So we about to jump right in. Now, this is someone who has an update. I'm going to give y'all just a quick backstory on what she's updating us on. All right. So sometime last year, this lady wrote this to me. My best friend been married for 11 years with a boyfriend of nine years who was married to his wife of over 15 years. I've been in this friendship and seen it all play out very peaceful, non-toxic.

Furthermore, I am married. 10 years.

But her shit got me on my husband case all the time. Anyway, should I try to fix us or say fuck us for her to think that I told that woman that I got a pic of them and I would want to tell her business like that? All right. So I don't know if y'all remember that, but I gave her some some really, really, really keen advice. Yeah, you might want to let that relationship go until she finished doing what she doing, because you don't want that to spill over into your marriage. And you already admitted that that it has been doing that.

I know her husband was probably like, "The fuck? What the fuck I do?" You know what I mean? So, and then also,

I hope you didn't share that with your husband because your husband probably would be looking at you like, well, why are you still friends with this bitch? I mean, uh-uh. We ain't condoning that shit. You know what I mean? So, I definitely get it. I would definitely, I would have fallen back from her as a friend. You know, that was just her guilty conscience thinking that you automatically told the wife because she thought that she was just moving that slick for nine years and nobody was ever going to find out about you messing with this other married man and you're a married woman as well. So, this is...

This is what she has to say, guys. She came back and said, update on the love triangle and lost friendship. Here it is. Hey, Jess, I just want to give you an update on the love triangle. The advice that you gave me about my friend of 20 years,

and all that good stuff and all her relationships. I didn't give you as much context. No, the husband, of course, didn't know. The boyfriend didn't know. As a matter of fact, he done been in the husband's face, done been in my face. It's like a big old weird family. Craziest shit I ever seen. But just to update on that situation, me and her have not, we have spoke about that situation, but I decided to move out her way.

I can't be in a person's life where their standard, their morals is that fucked up and don't have a conscience of what you're doing. You know, ain't nobody perfect and everybody make mistakes. Hell, I have made some myself. But, you know, I just can't live in no wrongdoing for years like that to anybody. So it's like she's just not my type of person anymore to deal with so far as the friendship is done. And I just love her from a distance.

As far as the affair, she stayed in as long as she could up until I was held at gunpoint behind her saying she's with me and she wasn't with me. She was with the dude. And I'm at my house with a gun at me because of her husband knowing she playing some kind of games and it was a mess. And I knew it was going to end up something deadly or something really, really horrific that's going to end up happening. And

Me just trying to tell her to stop is the one that had a gun point at me. But long story short, she sat in her cake into the motherfucking cake smushed in her own face because it's over for that situation. The wife know, everybody knows, she ended up being exposed in a terribly way. I mean, it got super duper messy, but all I can do is just pray for her. But I just want to give you the heads up again for that's what it was. She was in a relationship with this married man for...

going on 10 years and she was married for that long and it was just a very disturbing situation that I just knew it was going to hit her in the face. Didn't want it to be as bad as it did. Don't want to put too much context out there, but just know she ain't got no fingers.

on the right hand. So, yeah. That love shit is real. And if anybody hear it, just don't play with it because motherfuckers don't know when they snap, they snap. Don't play with nobody's heart. And certainly don't be in a marriage for that long if you want to play with it. And she didn't even get the fingers, didn't even get snapped by the husband. The fingers got snapped by the boyfriend. So, yeah. God damn! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, heal us all. Oh my God.

That's crazy. Okay, so that was a pretty detailed update. So back to my listeners, man. Like she said, you can't play with love and...

You know how people just automatically always think, you know, women go crazy behind love, you know, and we do some crazy things. No, man, people put their heart. That's people, period. There's some men that will really kill for their wives. There's women that will kill for their husbands. And then it's people that will kill for their own heart.

I put my heart on the line for you. I gave you my everything. And some people just can't take it. They can't take betrayal of, you know, they can't take heartbreak. They can't take a partner cheating on them. When you put your trust, your everything into someone and you feel like it's reciprocated and that person would never do you wrong. And then they do, you know, some people snap.

Some people snap. And like she said, she was held at gunpoint because her friend was lying on her. You have to be careful these days, all days, but be careful. There's a lot of bold people out there and a lot of people who just don't give a fuck. And they feel like once they lost the love of their life, they don't have anything else. They don't have anything to live for, especially when you put your everything in one person.

Because that's what you have to do for somebody to destroy you. You have to give them everything to destroy you. And I'm pretty sure that husband and boyfriend both felt destroyed by her. Like the girl who wrote me, like she said in the first story, them men both loved her, both treated her like gold. And her husband, she really meant what she said. Her husband will kill her if he found out. And she knows that firsthand because he was ready to kill her, kill the friend. Because the wife then gave him a fucking alibi.

And he pulled up on a friend. All right, Shane, what you, I got you at gunpoint now. You know what I'm saying? It's crazy. As wrong as it is, that's all the wife's fault.

You know what I'm saying? Like, damn, y'all, that's the wife's fault. Love can make you crazy, man. It doesn't have to be that hard. It doesn't. All you gotta do is say, look, I'm not happy. Communicate. Let somebody know. When people are in love, they are in love. You gotta let somebody know if you ain't feeling the same. You always want to be on the same page in a marriage. Yes, in a relationship, but in a marriage. Be on the same page. That's a covenant. That's a contract that y'all sign. That's a lot. You know what I'm saying? Y'all are binded legally.

You can't just walk away from a marriage like you can walk away from a boyfriend, a relationship, a friendship. You understand what I'm saying?

So y'all just be careful out there. That was a sad update, but I hope that this actually teaches her friend or her ex-friend, you don't play with love. Next time you could lose your life. Good thing that you lost one hand. You know, you walking around all nubby now, but you know what I'm saying? You could have lost your fucking life. Hold up, hold up. I know this shit getting good, but listen to just a couple seconds of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen.

Okay, moving on to the next story. Okay, this is not a voice note. This is written. It says, Jess, this isn't really mess, but more of a young and just asking for advice from somebody who's been through it. So I'm 23 and I'm planning a big move. I just got out of a long abusive relationship that lasted four years. And prior to that, I had been in three other relationships that lasted a year and a half.

three years and two years. So if that tells you anything, it should tell you I'm not the best at being alone. So that brings me to my question. How do I go about being alone and learning to love and accept myself? I plan on moving out of state by myself in an attempt to jumpstart my life and to stop being afraid of the world. But yet again, I'm young and I've literally never done anything alone. I've lived in the same city, same state my whole life.

Thank you in advance, Jess. I love you. I don't always like what you say, but damn, you do keep it real. And to be honest, I sure do be needing to hear it. Much respect. I've been a fan since I was too young to be watching you. By the way, yeah, girl, I've been in and out of relationships since I was 13. You ain't got to tell me. My mama already has. This is the reason I'm trying to run away.

Okay, okay. Well, I tell you what you don't need to be doing, running away. It's okay, it's okay. I love how you keep saying my whole life. You only have been here for 23 years, girl. Some of my whole life, my whole life. Oh, shit. You a guy. My bad. Because I'm trying to see something real quick. I don't want to. Oh, no. Okay, you a girl. You a girl. Okay. All right, all right, all right. But you look like a Tom girl. My bad, my bad. All right, yeah.

You're only 23, boo. You don't need to be running away looking for no damn love. That's not what you need to do. You want me to give you advice on how to be alone. You just have to learn how to love yourself, you know, because if you're always with somebody, you never get to know yourself. That's how I know you don't know yourself. You know, you're trying to figure out right now how to be alone and you're only 23.

You know what I'm saying? You're just a lover. That's what it is. You know, you're a hopeless romantic. If you don't know what that is, you know, you give romance a try no matter what it is, who it is, what level you are in your life, the status that you are, whatever. You're always willing to give love a try. You always see the good in people. You got to give me more clarity, though. Why are these relationships only lasting, you know, but so long? And I honestly feel like the three year and the two year was all right. And then, you know, you got out of a four year. I mean, it ain't like you had nothing.

If you add all that up, that's nine years. It ain't like you had nine relationships in nine years. You had three in nine years. You know, some people double your age, been in thousands of relationships. Some people younger than you have been in thousands of relationships. They can't even count on their hands how many people, how many partners they had. You know what I mean? So I think that you're being a little bit too hard on yourself, but you're also trying to grow up too fast.

And you got your whole life ahead of you. What do you want to do? What are your dreams? What are your goals? Like, fuck love right now. Like, what do you want to do? Because the quicker you figure out what you want to do, which is something that you don't want to rush, but just put your focus there, you may fall into...

like your career or which a lifelong goal may be. And you may find your person in that journey, you know? So you have to focus on what you're going to do with the rest of your life other than love. You know what I'm saying? Because that shit going to come. It's going to come. Just like you shouldn't chase being rich. Never chase being rich. Never chase love. You know what I'm saying? Because all that shit just comes when you're already doing everything right.

You know? And what you're not doing right right now is self-love. You're not loving on yourself. So that's just easy, babe. You just gotta figure out what you want to do in your life. I'm talking about career-wise. What are you good at? What's gonna make you, like, what's your passion? You know? And if everything comes back to love, then you should be a goddamn therapist. You should do something that gears to love. You could be a love doctor. You could be, like Hitch, you could set people up. You know what I'm saying? And

And you can do that. You can be a relationship specialist. You can do that. You've been in three of them, one abusive. I don't know about the other two or how they ended, but I think you'll be fine. I think you'll be great. Don't think too hard about it, baby girl. Hit me back. Update me. Love you. If you love me, you'll listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back.

Okay, and before we end this episode today, we got one left, one update. This is actually one of my favorite stories, man. This girl was really stressed out about, you know, she had married somebody and she married, you know, she was married to her wife for a while and the wife cheated on her and made a baby.

with a guy who didn't want nothing to do with the baby. And then so she wanted to run back to her wife because she knew that this girl wouldn't let her be just out there with a baby by herself and just see her, you know, try to raise a baby on her own. She loved the wife and the baby so much that she has taken on the role of the parent of the baby. You know, she's the baby's mom and everything.

And the girl cheated on her again. It was a very messy situation. She started using her just for the baby and shit like that. You know what I'm saying? So it was definitely betrayal. And this is the update that she left us.

I couldn't type nothing because I'm driving to work this morning, but I wanted to say thank you, dog. Like, this is going to sound kind of like out of box, but like I really been feeling like I couldn't go to nobody with that shit for the longest time. And I just been kind of feeling like I'm in my own space with it, you know, and I've been holding that shit in. So like it felt really good to get it out and to have you hear it.

Damn, and y'all know my ass is a crybaby too. I'm sitting there. I started fucking, and this was a tearjerker before she even said she was about to cry. I really do appreciate you, baby girl. I really, really do. Thank you for trusting me with your story. You know what I'm saying? Because this is a platform where you have to be strong enough to expose your, you know, whatever you're going through, you know, because other people are listening and we let people into our lives and

And you just never know what somebody can do with your information. So I always thank everybody for even trusting me to help fix their mess. I love you, too. I really love you. Like, seriously, I love everybody who I help, you know, even the ones I can't help. I love them, too, you know, because that's what everybody needs.

you know, just fucking love. Love, those big hugs, even the toughest people, they need to just break down and cry and just scream, you know, just go in your yard and scream and then get it all out. Everybody needs a release, man. This world, it can fuck you up if you let it, you know, it's cruel, it's

This world ain't like what it used to be, you know, so I'm here. I'm always here, babe. So even if you want, if you got some old mess, let me know. She also left us with this piece of great news. She typed this part. We just went today to officially file for our divorce. The process should only take a few weeks and I'll be moving out of state for a month or so for work.

Thank you, Jess, for giving me support when I needed it. I'm updating you like you my bestie or something. Look at my foolish ass. Girl, stay blessed. You ain't foolish at all. No, you ain't foolish. You would be foolish if you were still in that marriage.
