    Not sure if I my wife and I fit your demographic but it is possible to to be married and not cheat on your wife. 40 years of marriage, up,s and downs and even being $420,000.00 in debt which left us $93.00 in the bank. So why would I want to cheat on my wife when i took vows that I would honor her? What we must remember is the price for sin is heavy, very heavy. I’m so sorry that this young brother couldn’t keep the vow of his marriage however Gods grace is sufficient. There is no woman walking on the planet that is worth my soul. The $420k debt? Is gone paid in full And through all of that Gods grace kept us

      You are a breath of fresh air and you speak with clarity about honoring God. Sad to say a lot of men don't honor God this way. They're bonded in perversion and carnal minded . Getting married is a sacred act of two people taking vows and going before God asking him to bless the marriage. Unfortunately most people leave God out after they get married and that is why marriage doesn't work. God bless you for honoring your vows and staying the course!🙏❤️

      ​@@beverleyreid7572Don't settle...? Wow that's what you gathered from this meaningful conversation? Men are who we are. At the end of the day, no one cares what other people think. Being single and lonely isn't cool. I'm not saying to be in a dysfunctional relationship. I am saying cheating isn't the reason most people get divorced. Work on the other issues and cheating probably won't happen. Cheating is a symptom, not the disease.

I'm in my late 40s and ended up in a toxic situation with a man. Now I cry at night missing the person I was for so many years. Now I have to do double praying as I trust God to continue to heal and restore me. It's not worth it to live in dysfunction just to have someone. Stay in that peaceful place and don't let anyone shame you.

      Men get cheated on too and trust me they do know and I agree. It can leave you in pieces. Just have to determine whether or not it's worth giving those pieces back to God to build you a new and restored heart or if you rather allow God to heal you mentally, emotionally, and put the heart away. The same thing that happens to women happens to men. Don't get it twisted.

      They hurt worse when cheated on. They are so territorial… I’m sure it plays in their mind and to have to follow behind an another man. I think when they’re cheating they think it will not happen to them or don’t think about it will come back on them in the worse way.

  • @fw7809
    @fw7809 ปีที่แล้ว +263

    His message on taking accountability rings so true. My ex husband cheated on me in the first year of marriage and my intuition told me. He never admitted it until 10+ years later in marriage counseling when he was trying to manipulate his way out of admitting his present cheating. It hurt me so bad that he was so conniving to admit it to a third party instead of me, solely to get out of being open & honest to address things head on. I knew enough then to decide that was the nail in the coffin for me. I left the marriage and never looked back. Mistakes are mistakes, but accountability helps people own them. Poor behavior patterns go beyond mistakes. Some cheaters fall into the act from a desperate place. Others plan, lie, manipulate, gaslight, etc. to keep cheating as long as they think they can get away with it.

    At 42::50 Ryan says he’s a firm believer that a good man can cheat. Look up the word cheat.
    There is no good in the definition of that word.
    It’s crazy to me that after ALL of these guests and lessons that this is still a belief.
    There’s a quote that states: When you know better, you do better.
    What you know, you are accountable for. You have to be VERY careful with your words and what you do to others because it will CERTAINLY come back to you.
    Those who love themselves and their mate are exclusive with their bodies. Sharing your body outside of your relationship AND standing by a person who does such dishonors you both. It’s a huge risk-health wise, mentally and spirituality. I wish people loved themselves more.
    We have to do better.

    This man’s story is just like mine smh, men are not thought to have self worth so we look at sex totally different than how women do. Now the journey to becoming that man that understands what it mean to have self worth and to stop sleeping with a bunch of girls is hard work within it self, just looking at girl alone is like second nature to us , growing up as a West Indian man i saw men get praised for sleeping with girls and if you don’t you are called names for it, so now as a grown man it’s hard to break those bad habits that you thought was cool. I am now on this crazy journey that will most likely make me loose friends and that’s ok, respect to this man for sharing his secrets with everyone to indulge in, what he have done is hard and should 🐝 respected.

      This is truly an epidemic that’s rarely spoken of, and the danger here is that drained mothers can sometimes lack the strength (and/or the skills) to truly nurture their children… and kids learn their base behaviors and priorities at young ages from their parents. Mothers are usually the primary role models of intimacy, and creating nurturing environments for children. We talk a lot about daddy issues, but don’t talk enough about “mommy issues” that exist in our community, due to the lack of emotional intimacy that is very prevalent and emotionally unavailable men are often a byproduct of emotionally unavailable/drained mothers.

      Sometimes women want to do every thing for everyone and I blame society for that. We are only now learning to be soft, vulnerable and allowing ourselves to be tired.
      Having that conversation BEFORE marriage is very important - what are your expectations, what do you want out of this union…honest conversations that are ONGOING…because life happens sometimes.
      My husband and I live off the following:
      When I am weak he is strong, where he is weak I am strong, where we both are weak, we will outsource (get help)- it’s worked perfectly for us and we both are very happy and constantly check in with each other

I wasn’t being fulfilled,appreciated, helped with the kids, prioritized so his sexual fulfillment wasn’t my main concern. The whole painful part in watching this is he’s grown and learned a lot but how much pain has to be inflicted to get the man that he is now. I wanna be loved right the first time.

    This was really really good!! 44:15 reminded me of this scripture :
    “But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him.
    But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear. So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.””
    ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
    It’s really interesting that men wanted to stone the woman caught in adultery but not the man committing adultery with her.
    Jesus acknowledged what she did was wrong but pointed out the hypocrisy of the men when he told them “he who has never sinned throw the first rock” and no one could because they had all sinned.
    I’m 100% against cheating man or woman but it’s interesting the reaction when a MAN FORGIVES a woman for cheating on him vs a woman who forgives a man for cheating yet it exposes the hypocrisy in ALL OF US.
    We all want grace but we never want to give grace yet we sin against our Maker every single day and EXPECT to be forgiven, interesting species we are, thank God for his mercy.

    I'm so glad you guys collaborated. I have recommended both channels because there's so many bad things said about Black, male podcast hosts. People don't even realize there's great ones you can actually learn from. DFW is one of the main reasons I attracted the relationship I'm in now versus what I was in last year. It was hard going from an 8 year relationship, to dating an undercover F-boy for three months, to now dating an absolute sweetheart at 32. There are great men out here and thankfully they have you guys to watch and learn from.

    Very excited about this episode.. I thoroughly love both of these podcasts, and this was a great move! Also, cheating is very painful on both parties, but recovery is possible "when" both partners are willing to do whatever necessary. Marriage is for mature, selfless people.. It requires renewing of mindset and ideas about what marriage should look like. There is always communication , sometimes in a whisper before a scream. We must stay checked into our mates and their needs and communicate what is needed as marriages evolve because leveryone changes!

As a woman of God I had to began binding, canceling and nullifying as God revealed to me.
