[mrspaceforever]

dang that made me sad when she was reciting the poem and he couldn’t continue it with her. “A man is supposed to be the head of the household” while letting your family become homeless, yeah OK! 😅🤣

[ayesierramist]

I like how she spoke about fear vs. respect in regards to parenting

[MrFancyjohnson]

She is just too smart for him and absolutely too good for that “alpha male”…the audacity to even say that and barely takes care of the home

[DreadlocDivaNextDoor]

He’s an “Alpha male”, but when his wife can’t work his entire family goes HOMELESS 🤔 …

[shanzi]

He can't even pay for his own DNA test. Had to get it free yet still its mandatory for him

[fulanichick]

I get the last say because I’m a man but can’t take care of the household and be the provider 🤡

[shaybutter]

His voice 😵‍💫.. I'm sorry... I wanna give him a cough drop and a cup of tea.

[minkki]

I think sometimes we as black women put ourselves in the position to accept any man, knowing he can't provide, but wanting to build a life with him? How can you build with someone that's broke? For seven years this went on. That's partially her fault. If a man can't take care of you when there's a financial interruption in the household, what is he there for?? He wants to be the Alpha Male, and be head of the household, when he can't even support the household. Damn shame. Good thing they're divorcing, because she just wasted 7 years in a struggle relationship.

[briteinwilson]

How can you say a Man should be ahead of the household and you can't pay your half of the bills?

[laina]

She's hurt, I get it.
But the red flags were all there sis.
Don't get with potential, it'll disappoint you every time. Hoping the best for her and her girls.

[Awsumzoe]

How you supposed to have the last word but you can’t even take care of the last bill ?

[a.m.]

He's horribly selfish & irresponsible; thinks out the WRONG HEAD, & I'm glad she's done supporting his raggedy behind. She and her Daughters deserve SOOO much better! I got rid of MY Migraine Headache almost 37-years ago and NEVER Remarried! I'd rather be by myself than to be with someone who's taking me down the drain with them!

[sweetsweet]

These alpha males slay me!!!! A real "Alpha" male, if we're gonna use that, doesn't go around telling other folks he's an alpha. it's gonna show in his actions across the board.

This dude fell short. He was talking the talk, but wasn't walking the walk.

[Shinehigh]

He's an extremely small and triflin man. He exposed hisself and now other women can avoid the trauma and struggle he brings.

[rachelulale]

When a man wants you, he will do everything to make it known... AMEN... Keep moving Ma'am...

[greenqueen]

Typical dude that wants his wife to submit when he's not consistently meeting the husband standard of providing and protecting.

[leeleegrace]

So let me get this straight, this man walked out on this woman and her children, left her while she was having a miscarriage, questioned her integrity publicly by requesting a paternity test on her child, didn't even pay half the bills, can't even provide for a household and allowed her to be homeless, wants to use the alpha male trope to "keep her in her place" and silence her, is a terrible example of a man to her daughter's by allowing them to watch you struggle financially, and yet she came on the show trying to save her marriage to him? Ma'am! WTF?

[tonyaharper]

The audacity of him asking for a DNA test. These men can step so low and coldhearted when you took care of them

[tierasprauve]

I need people to stop saying stuff like: I don't beat her, I don't cheat on her, I dont cuss her out, I don't stab her, I don't shoot her....as if that is not the baseline of what you should be doing

[lolab]

He knows he’s not good enough that’s why he believes that she cheated(even though he didn’t say it out loud)and had a baby outside. He is highly insecure.
