Good job. Thanks. Welcome to Can't Believe Reckless, the production of iHeartRadio and The Black Effect. And just like that, we're back on the air. We're going to dive right in. We got a voice submission and it's pretty long, so let's just listen, y'all.

Hey, Jess, I want to reach out to say that I love you so much and I have a story to tell you. And it's a lot. I did send it as a message, but it's too much information and I wouldn't even read all of it. So I'm just going to try to tell you and see if you can fix my mess or just help me with some type of advice on healing from this situation and where I should go from there.

So to start off, I am about to be 27 years old and I had had, let's do past tense, a best friend that I had for 10 years. He was a male guy and he was a great friend. Like he was an amazing friend and I didn't have any doubts about him. I never thought twice or anything like never questioned anything about his character or anything like that.

So to start off, remind you again, we've been friends for 10 plus years. Literally, strictly just friends in my head. I don't see nothing more, nothing less. Literally just a friend, friend zone. That's where he is. Don't even find you attractive.

So fast forward to the year now, which is 2023. And in April, he decided he's always been like expressing how he felt about me or just like sending all type of messages about how much he loves me or inspire him and doing these things like sending all type of every time I post a picture, he's sitting all types of things like.

all the heart eyes, just super supportive. Like, but I knew that he was flirting with me for a very, very long time. But again, remind you, I friend zoned that man. So I'm not paying attention to any of it.

He has girlfriends, multiple girlfriends. I'm cool with some of his girlfriends. They done told me so many things that they done went through. So I went to doctor's appointments and everything with certain females that he used to date. And they would burn each other. It was just so much stuff that I knew about him.

And how he moved with women and he was one of those people that could never settle down with just one woman and be happy. He needs multiple. That is something that I know for sure is that he needs a person at all times. One person is not good enough for him.

So with me knowing that knowledge, I took into myself and said that I would never date this guy. I wouldn't like he is a great friend, but I don't never see myself dating him because I seen all the flags. I seen all the red flags.

We talk about a lot. We talk about both of our dating lives. We talk about a lot of things to each other. So I always say that I would never date him because of how he treated women. And he's one of those guys that has money. So he thinks that he could just buy people off or I'll buy this and she'll be okay. Like, oh, well, I'll take her on a trip and she'll get over it. So he's definitely one of those people. So back in April, he decided to...

Well, he already knows that I like girls. So me and him were just talking a lot, and he was flirting more and more, and I really didn't know about the situation that he had going on at home. So I was just peeping that he was flirting way more than usual. So I had said something to him, and I had really went back

on all the messages to see like because I didn't really remind you I had him in friend zone so I didn't see him like flirting with me I just was like oh thank you like oh this is my friend like anytime he sent heart emojis or things like that I was just like oh thank you like I appreciate that like because we're friends I would do the same thing so I didn't think that it was like flirting because I literally had him strictly in the friend zone everything was cut off

So we decided to get in a polygamous relationship in April with me, him, and his girlfriend at the time. And everything was going good.

Everything was going good. Everything was going great. Our communication was good. Me and her were talking. We were taking the kids out on play dates. We would all three go on dates together. We would do separate dates. It was just a good vibe for probably two months. Me and him went to Atlanta. For some reason, she did not go. When we got to Atlanta, everything was cool, but his energy was off. Something was giving me...

You being sneaky. And I was confused on why you being sneaky if we all three communicate properly and know what's going on. Everything was okay. The trip started getting messy after I posted a picture. I had posted a picture on social media because one of my shirts had got wine spilt over it. So I asked him for one of his shirts and I still use it as a nice outfit, put it together and I used one of his shirts.

His girlfriend realized that I had on his shirt and then it turned left. But remind you, we all agreed to this polygamous relationship. So I'm confused on what's going on. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a victim in this situation because, again, I walked into the situation knowing that they are in a relationship and I'm just another person that's being added to it. So I never was one of those people to like cock.

So we get back from Atlanta. All of a sudden, they announced that she's pregnant. Didn't tell me anything about it. Didn't keep me in a loop. So it was like a slap in the face. So me and him ended up getting into a little disagreement. I won't say argument or anything like that because we did good with communication. We communicated very well with each other. And then we got back to Atlanta.

And it just threw me off because why wouldn't you tell me? Like, I know y'all in a relationship. So why didn't you just let me know? Like, I'm not a hating ass bitch. So I congratulated them. I don't want no kids right now. I already have a four year old. So it's like it ain't me that got pregnant. So I'm not tripping. So we fast forward again, move up some. We all went to Vegas.

Vegas was amazing. We went to Vegas for Mother's Day. He asked me on that trip. I want to point this out. Every trip that he ever asked me to go on, it was never like he flew me out. I always paid my half on everything.

Anything we did, we always went Dutch, and I always paid my half. It was never like him doing everything for me, unless it was him like, oh, no, let me pick this up. And I felt like that was a man being a man. You're doing your manly duties. We came back from Vegas, and then that's when we did the gender reveal.

I've been invited to the gender reveal. I literally helped set up the gender reveal, helped tear down the gender reveal. I'm there the whole time. Everything's great. Everything's cordial. Everybody's talking to each other. I'm helping as much as I can. I'm making sure the kids good while they do that thing. Like just being the best person as I can, like doing my duties. Like I'm only going to be as genuine as I can be. So yeah.

Everything was okay. And then all of a sudden, shit just started getting rockier and rockier. Like, you could tell her energy changed up and things like that. But then again, I know her energy was going to change up because you're pregnant. So now your feelings are going to change. She agreed to the polygamous relationship before she was pregnant. So now you are pregnant.

And your feelings are changing. So I'm like, would you like me to step back from the situation? She's telling me no, everything's fine. She just want to get an understanding. Like, so now nothing is clear to her anymore. What's really going on? What's the deal of us? What we're doing? Are we dating? Or am I just fucking on them? Or excuse me, am I supposed to cuss? Am I just messing on them until she drops the baby? Like she start getting like,

iffy on both of us. Like, and it wasn't just me, it was both of us. Like, we were both confused on where, like, what's going on if we all sat down and had an agreement? Like, where are all these feelings coming from now? Like, is it the hormones? Is it this, this, this? Do you want me to just back off? Because I can do that as well. She tells me, no, don't back off. Everything's fine. Everything's okay. She just wanted a better understanding. So basically, I realized that

moral of the story she only really wanted me close because he told her that me and her me and him were friends and then she realized that me and him had an actual bond and we've been friends for 10 years so she really just wanted to get the inside scoop on what was really going on between me and him remind you me and him they never touched each other none of that shit until she approved on the polygamous relationship and then that's when we all three decided to touch each other once she start tripping and switching up i fell back i fell back from her

And that's where I messed up on my end because I should have fell back from both of them. But knowing that he's been my best friend for 10 plus years, me and him still kept our friendship going.

Now, I'm not going to lie. We definitely still was messing on each other whenever we got a chance or whatever like that. And she knows this. Like, she knew everything. I always communicated everything with her, like, when we were together so she won't feel like she's down or alone or she's being not included. So anytime that we would make plans, I would invite her. Anytime he made plans, I would invite her.

They would invite me. But every time she decided to make a plan, she would invite me or nothing to be added to it. So I already knew that she had some type of feelings going on. Something was going on, but she was not trying to communicate that at all. Hold up, hold up. I know this shit getting good, but listen to just a couple seconds of a commercial.

We're going to move to July, July 6th. She's texting my phone. Remind you, I'm still thinking everything's cordial. She has not told me that she doesn't like me, that she has beef with me, that she just don't like this situation. She has not said any of this to me at all.

So I'm still thinking everything's cordial. I'm still going over to their house. If they call and they need something, I'm like, I'm doing, I'm helping them. If I call them and I need something and helping, like it was just so mutual. It was still mutual. Nothing was like weird. Her energy was weird. Like when I stepped around, but everything was still cordial. We would still do play dates with the kids. Everything was still fine. So I thought everything was still cordial and adult and everybody could still talk to each other.

That day, she decided to text me, hey, I wanted to plan a play date with the kids. Her daughter wanted to see my son, so we texted.

text each other, set up a play date. I think it was Urban Arrow or a park or something like that. And I'm like, okay, cool. Like, I'll let you know, like, when we can meet, what time we meet up and things like that. She was like, okay, cool. That night, I can say like 11 o'clock at night, I smoke. So I'm out, gonna go get my stuff that I need to, run into the store, get in my woods, gonna go pick up what I need to. And

And she decides to text my phone. Hey, can we meet? I want to talk to you. So I'm like, OK, sure. Like, yeah, we can meet. Like, I have no problem. Like, what's up? Like, what's wrong? You want to talk? Like, is everything OK? Is the baby all right? Like, imagine she's full blown pregnant at this time. She's eight months. So I'm like, is everything OK? Is you all right? Like, it's late. Like, what's going on?

She like, I just feel like y'all playing in my face and I don't like that. Like you really playing with me and you trying me. And I'm like, how am I trying you? Like, how am I playing with you? If everything was agreed upon, we all talked about this situation. Like it was nothing like spontaneous. Oh, he cheating with a sad bitch. He was never allowed to touch me.

None of that until she knew that he had feelings for me and this is what he really wanted. And he had to sit down with her to tell her that he had feelings for me and this is what he wanted. Everything's cool. We're talking. Remind you, I did some stupid bitch shit. So I get out my car, get inside of her car and.

We just talking like everything's cordial. We're talking super calm to each other. We're getting out all of the things that we're talking about. I'm letting her speak. She let me speak. Like we're not raising our voice at all. Like everything's super, super grown and cordial. All of a sudden I see a red car pull up. It's her best friend. I said, what is this?

She's like, oh no, my phone went dead and she was the last person I was on the phone with and she has my location. So she just pulled up here.

Instantly knew that was bullshit. Her friend decides to get out the car, so I got out of her car and start walking towards my car because I'm like, this is a setup, so I'm just going to walk away. Like, you're not about to set me up. I'm not about to fight you. I'm not about to do none of that. Like, you full-blown pregnant. I'm not about to do that. I'm not about to disrespect you. You pregnant as fuck, and you are my best friend's woman. I'm not about to disrespect you in no type of way. Like, no.

ever, because then it's going to mess up our friendship, and that's what I don't want. So I'm going to keep it cordial and keep it respectful, because I will never disrespect you like that, and I will never put my hands on a pregnant woman. So get out of her car, go into my car. I'm sitting there trying to find my keys, about to drive off. Her friend, she's standing at my door. I don't have my door shut because she's standing in my doorway and refuses to let me close my door. So I'm trying to find my keys, and

in the dark as all of this is going on. So now she's trying to argue with me. And I'm like, no, I'm not about to argue with you. I'm not about to fight you. Like, can you please close my door? I'm not about to do this. We not about to do this. Like, let me go. I'm not even about to play these games. This is petty. I'm not about to put my hands on nobody because if I feel like I have to put my hands on somebody, I'm not stopping. So once I found my keys, I closed my door. That's when shit went left. Once I put my keys in my ignition and I closed the door...

She decides to hit me. As I'm sitting down in my car, window down, she decides to hit me. My tooth falls out. I instantly decide to put my tooth back in my mouth. Like, it literally fell out from the root. So it's not chipped. It's not broke or anything. It literally fell out from the root. Girl. She hit me, like, closer to my nose area, like, in the nerve spot. So my tooth fell out. I put it back in my mouth, like, and I heated it with adrenaline. I literally shoved my tooth right down.

back in my mouth. And pulled her inside of my car, through the window, and start beating her ass instantly on spot. So that's when her friend decided to get in and was like, no, you're not going to put your hands on her. You're not going to hit her. This girl just decided to put her hands on me and you think I'm not about to...

protect myself, it's two against one. Y'all not about to do this to me at no 12 o'clock in the morning. No. So as I'm on my way home, I'm calling my friend. So I'm calling his phone, like, what's going on? Like, and calling him, texting him, trying to figure out, like, what the fuck? Like, do you even know that your girl just came all the way on the whole other side of town to come fight me? Like, what type shit is this? You're a pregnant woman at that. Let her come out the house to come fight me. Like, what type weird ass shit is this? Like...

What type of man would ever let their grown, their pregnant woman leave out the house at damn near 1 o'clock in the morning to go fight a motherfucker? Since when do people let shit like that go down? Right. But I realized that she had his phone the entire time. So every time that I'm texting his phone, calling his phone, that's her replying. She's declining all calls.

So I realized that's when everything was coming to me like, boom, this is a setup. I completely understand that. So he has nothing to do with this. This was all her and her friend agenda. I come home. I press charges because, remind you, this bitch, my tooth fell out my mouth. So now I have to go get surgery. I have to get an emergency surgery and I have to pay for all of this stuff. I didn't pay literally with all of this stuff going on. I didn't pay over probably $1,000.

5 000 on surgeries dental appointments things like that just to make sure that i'm great and i'm just confused on what's going on because he has not said anything to me like he apologized on the situation and everything like that but as far as him being a man and letting shit go down it was like god damn was i really your friend like what the fuck type shit is this

But I don't want to give you any more on that situation. I want to really get something on my part. Like, I just want some advice on...

what I should do now. So I decided to break off all ties with both of them. So it's a protection order on her and the whole situation from April to now, he handled me completely wrong. For us to be best friends for as long as we did, he handled me completely wrong. He disrespected me. He put me in situations that I should never have been in. And it was like, after all the shit that I've told you, talked to you about, and things that I've vented to you about, and

You literally put me in them same predicaments. So I walked away from everything. So now I'm asking for Jess to either fix my mess or just give me some advice. Like at this point, because I don't have no friends, like I don't have no female friends. I don't have no male friends. I don't have no friends. So I literally just be in the house with my son, my four-year-old son. I have my cleaning business.

and then I work at the same time, like a little part-time, a little something. So I try to keep myself busy as much as possible. But I want to know, like, from your perspective, with this whole polygamy relationship,

I know I shouldn't have got into it. I know that for a fact because I can answer my own questions on that. The part that I need help with, leaving that friendship completely. Like, I literally dropped the friendship completely just off of how he handled it. And he wanted to point the finger at me like I was the bad guy.

and he tried to make me seem like I broke up his household. I messed up everything that he had going on. He literally pointed the finger at me for everything. Like, I know I can take accountability for meeting up with the girl at 1 o'clock in the morning, 2 o'clock, like, 12. I...

I take accountability for that. But I did not know that this girl wanted to fight me, had beef with me, animosity. Like, I didn't know all of that. I knew she was, like, feeling some type of way, but we kept trying to get the information out of her. Like, what's going on? Talk to us. If you want me to fall back, I'll fall back. Like, what is it? Like...

She was not communicating. So how can I know all of this information? So now I'm stuck here with no friends. Remind you, my friend for 10 plus years is now gone. I don't have a bond with him anymore. I don't even care to talk to him, be around him. Like, it disgusts me now. Like, to know that he's living with a person that set me up and he's still trying to be friends with me. Like...

You literally living in a household with a person that's literally using you, taking advantage of you. He tried to say that I was using him for his money and things like that. Remind you, go back. Everything that we did since April and it's December, I went Dutch or I paid my half no matter what. Every trip that we took, I paid for my own flights. I paid for my own food. I paid for my own stuff. Anything that we did, I paid for my own stuff, no matter what. It was just like I was getting fed up of a lot of shit, like how he was like...

Being so nonchalant over so much stuff, with all the court shit that we was going through, he didn't apologize until someone else had said something to him. And it literally made him put himself in my position to realize how he would have handled it. Because he was telling me if it was him on the other foot, he would have just shot her. I said, exactly. But I'm wrong for beating her ass, knowing that she pregnant. But if I would have had my gun, the bitch would be dead. But let's not say that. But Jess, I just want some advice.

If you would like to hear a part two to get more information, I will definitely send you a part two. This is a lot and I do apologize, but I just... Shoot, at this point, I could have just talked to you over the phone so I could just really figure out what's going on so you could hear the full story. Again, I take accountability for the things that I've done, but when will people take accountability for the things that they do? I'm tired of being treated like bullshit by people like...

You invited me into this. Both of y'all invited me into this. Y'all knew what was up. Y'all know what goes on. This man fell in love with me and now you and your feelings. And it's just like, damn. So now I'm just like by myself and I'm just trying to figure out should I should I really leave that friendship completely alone or should I just like handle it from a distance? I just need some help. I just really need some help because again, that was my that was my good, good, good friend. So I just really need some help on that.

Girl, that's the whole goddamn episode. I can't even fit in another story. But listen, I know you saying that you only need help on one part, but you shouldn't have told me all that shit because I got something to say about everything, everything, everything. So you gonna listen. You already seem pretty smart. You already know exactly, you know, what you want to do. Okay, so you stop talking to the friend. Let's start from the fucking beginning.

Because I got a couple jokes for you. First of all, you called this nigga a male guy as if that's not the same thing. So you basically said, this is a man, man. All right, cool. That was just for a little laughter. Y'all been best friends for 10 plus years. Okay. So you were prone to exactly how he treated women before. You know, since high school, you guys have been knowing each other. Like you had the best seat in the house to see exactly how he treated women. So if you keep that in the back of your fucking mind.

You should totally not be shocked at anything that he does. Even now to take accountability for anything that he may have contributed to, which resulted in you getting your goddamn teeth knocked out. The fuck? He's always been non-faithful. He's always had money. So we know guys who have money. They use that. Not all of them. A lot of them use that as power over other people. You know, whether that be women or men, whatever, but mainly women. And that is crazy.

a woman's weakness. A man with money, I don't give a fuck. Not every woman, but a lot of women, okay? Especially these days. A man with money, okay? Because everybody's looking to be taken care of instead of taking care of their motherfucking selves. But you also brought to my attention that he wanted to be more than best friends for a long time and you kept friend zoning it. And you also told me that you like women. Obviously you're not gay though, you're bisexual or you wouldn't have been fucking him at any point in time because gay is just gay.

By, you know what that is, okay? So you were into women, but you were also into men as well. Had to be. So when he got this girlfriend who deemed it to be okay,

for the poly relationship, that now was not just a girlfriend and boyfriend. That was girlfriend, boyfriend, girlfriend. So that was all three of y'all out of nowhere, right? And then you said the first trip to Atlanta, he was being sneaky. The girlfriend didn't come. That's because she was pregnant, you know, and just probably didn't want to travel there and have her hormones everywhere or morning sickness or whatever. But you were upset forever.

First red flag, they didn't tell you she was pregnant. I think if this was a polygamous relationship and y'all are practicing true polygamy, everybody's supposed to know everything. It's just like a regular fucking relationship with just two people. You have to be honest with your mate or mates in this case.

You know, everybody should know everything, you know, so nobody is shocked or nobody is hurt or nobody is betrayed or feels betrayed when anything comes out. Okay, you felt betrayed and you did feel some type of way. You said that you got upset. Why did you get upset if you then turned around and said that you didn't give a fuck because you weren't the one pregnant? Was it more so that they didn't keep it real with you? They kept from you that they were pregnant?

Is that why you're upset? Was it upset because you felt like you would now be less interesting to the both of them because they now have a baby on the way, you know, between them two? Like, what exactly frustrated you? I mean, why did you get so upset with that? If it wasn't all about them just keeping it a hundred, let me know. Hey, I'm in this relationship too. Why didn't I know that she was having a baby?

You said Vegas was nice. Then at the gender reveal, you were doing your duties as the second girlfriend, you know, as the other girlfriend. I don't see how the fuck if you were so upset about this pregnancy, you still was at the gender reveal doing everything. You said you helped put it up. You helped take it down. Jesus Christ.

You involved yourself a lot. Wait, let's just go back a little bit. I think that you also involved yourself in this guy's relationships before this one a little too much. You told me that she was going to the doctors with these bitches and shit because he was burning them left and right. Damn. You were way too involved with the girlfriends. Way, way, way, way too involved.

But that was then. This is now. OK, going forward. You said the girlfriend eventually started acting different out of nowhere. Y'all just kept asking her, what is the problem? Do you want me to step back? Do you? Instead of waiting for her to tell you that, I think you just should have.

You just should have. You didn't really tell me that he had a lot to say, but from woman to woman, from her to you, I think you should have kind of read the room. Because with you telling me this, I even already figured it out. She was upset.

Because she had only did this polygamous relationship for him. She was never into women. I'm going to tell you that. That's why she had that best friend come and whoop your ass. Sorry. She did not whoop your ass, girl. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But if you knock a bitch tooth out, that's automatic. You won. I don't give a fuck what I did to you after you knocked my tooth out. Bitch, you beat my ass if you knock my tooth out. Because you can go and heal from them bruises. I can't heal from a missing tooth, Jesus. Jesus.

So, okay, I'm sorry. We're going to back it up a little bit more. This story is crazy. All right. She was never into women. She compromised herself for your best friend with the money and the person taking care of her and the person that was whining and dining and wooing her. I also think that he may have told her

All the feelings that he has had for you because he's obviously an honest person. He just don't give a fuck because he got money. He like, I can tell these bitches the truth and where are they going? Nowhere. So I think that he literally may have confessed to her his real love for you and how long that he was probably chasing you and how you are probably the only woman that understands him because you were his best friend for a long time. And yeah,

And your story, that's what I got. You were maybe the only woman that showed him that you understood him. And you still obliged to even get in a three-way relationship with him and his girlfriend and be having sex with both of them. Now understand, when she got pregnant, she started acting different because now I'm pregnant.

Now, I don't want to bring a baby in the world with a girlfriend and a boyfriend. I was only doing this shit for you, Marquise. I just gave him a name. I was only doing this shit for you, Marquise. But now, you and your best friend going to have to stop fucking. And we're going to have to stop all fucking together. I have a baby. I'm pregnant now. I want to take our relationship and subtract her. And it can just be us. And we can finally live a regular relationship life. I think that's what she's always wanted. But she just won't.

wasn't truthful enough to say it. And then she probably felt like it wasn't her place to dismiss you, to break up with you. The idea was bought by him. So I think that she had already been telling him how she felt the whole time. He just didn't tell you. I think he knew that she didn't want polygamy anymore. I think that he just never told you because it's something that he enjoyed.

So that's why you and him was still fucking off. He never told you how she felt. But you, in the back of your mind, you knew exactly how she felt because in your story, you telling me you could have easily guessed this girl was uncomfortable with this shit now. It's ran its course. It's not fun anymore. It probably was never fun. But for a man, you tend to do anything to make him happy and to keep him happy so he can keep you happy. Get what I'm saying? Now, when she called and met up with your ass...

And you went, you ran to our rescue because you still just loved her, you know, and or whether you loved her or not, you were still concerned about her because you seem to be a really, really good person. You just like what you like, but you seem to be a really genuine person. So you went to see what was up. You didn't know what she had to talk to you about. I agree that they set you up. She had a best friend come because this nigga never relayed the message to her that he had told you how she felt. He

He was supposed to tell you, look, look, look, y'all. I think that we just got chill until she had a baby or we just can't do this shit no more. That was too much like, right? He would have never did that, obviously. And he probably lied to her and told her that.

that he did tell you that and she just probably think that you didn't give a fuck and you just kept fucking him because obviously if she had his phone to answer text messages and all that she'd been going through the phone and y'all probably was still meeting up and fucking and all that type of shit so she felt like y'all was playing in her face hence why she said it to you y'all playing in my face and you like how how how when really there was no communication between you two girls he knows everything but he's only telling one side to one person

You understand what I'm saying? Making you think that shit is still sweet. But you knew in the back of your mind it wasn't. So the best friend knocked your motherfucking teeth out. You beat her ass. You got a restraining order on the girl. And look, Cardi said it best. Got a bag and fixed my teeth. Hope you hoes know it ain't cheap. You tell her she paid $5,000. Duh. Teeth ain't cheap. Okay? I'm tripping off the fact that you shoved that motherfucker back up in your mouth, girl. You could have fucked up that root. You could have fucked it up. Girl, you could have fucked up your gums. You don't be doing that.

Shit. You put it back in your mouth like it was a piece of track. Girl, what the fuck? And then another thing. I'm almost done with you. Another thing.

You keep saying, oh, he was my best friend. He's my best friend. He's the one that got me in this. You know what I'm saying? And he's not taking accountability. I did take accountability, but he's my best friend. I didn't expect this. Listen, the moment y'all started fucking, y'all got into a relationship, whether that be three-way, four-way, orgy, one back and forth, whatever. He wasn't your best friend no more. You don't fuck your best friend. You can fuck your best friend, but then y'all are no longer real best friends. You understand what I'm saying? That's hard to do. He fell in love with you. Yes.

I believe he's in love with both of y'all. That's why he doesn't want to let you go. That's why he got so angry with you because the shit ain't working out no more. In his perfect world, he could have both of y'all together. He would probably even marry both of y'all. But listen, because they have a baby and because they are still living together,

You will never be able to have him without her, even as your best friend. Because now they have an obligation. They have a child and they'll probably have more. Who knows? He'll probably even try another polygamy relationship with her because she did it the first time and he enjoyed it so fucking much. It just didn't work out with his best friend, you.

You should have left the friendship alone and I think you should stay gone. And then you kept saying, oh, she's sneaky and she using him and all of that. But when y'all all three were together, you knew all this because that was your girlfriend too. Okay. So I just think that you did what you were supposed to do. Keep that motherfucking peace order, restraining order, whatever, because you definitely got set up.

Keep away from him. I get it. You're going to miss him. You're going to, you know, you love him. You're concerned. You care about him. Yeah. And I believe that he loves you and he cares about you too. But what y'all went through, it's too damaging to come back from. With her, definitely for her, but also for you too. You understand what I'm saying? I think that's a friendship that y'all can maybe revisit.

later on in life like later later later right now it's still fucking fresh all this just happened months ago baby girl I think you need to keep that nigga on some ice even if he does call you feed him with a long hand of spoon you know keep your distance you know if he just has to be your friend keep your distance but I don't think it's it's good that you guys are friends at all um right now and then you're gonna say if you want the part two it's a motherfucking part two

Yes, please send me the part two, but this is all I got for you right now. Check back in, send the part two, and I'll talk to your ass next week. Girl, you done took up all my damn time.
