Dear Bossip: My Friend Keeps Asking For My Advice About Her Relationships & I Want To Knock Some Sense Into Her

Dear Bossip , First I want to say that I L-O-V-E all of your advice. And at this point, I could really use your brutal honesty. My friend is being dumb (although I know she isn’t, she is acting like an idiot). She keeps asking me for advice about her current love dilemma, but I want to make sure I give her the right advice. She and her husband are young, and her husband is a Marine currently deployed overseas. He visited his ex-boo before he deployed and wondered if there was anything still there, and decided to tell her. She decided right then and there to get a divorce, saying that she respected his honesty but didn’t know if she could trust him. Now here is where I feel conflicted: She met another man, and he is a looser in every sense of the word. And I’m not even exaggerating. He told my hubby that he was (at one point) addicted to prescription medication, and my hubby swears that he’s homeless. I made my hubby dinner when my friend brought him to our house and my man swears that the man looked like he was ready to tear into his bowl of chili! Plus, I think it’s a little too weird that he is suddenly facing deportation back to Denmark if he doesn’t get his citizenship together before the end of the year. Hmmm… Anyway, after talking with my hubby, I think that it would be a good idea for her to give some effort in trying to work out her marriage, as opposed to getting into a new relationship with someone she obviously does not know. Plus, she made the decision to divorce her hubby while he was deployed. I want to tell her to stay with her hubby, but then again, I want to just stay out of it. But it’s hard to do that when she keeps asking for my opinion. So, before I slap some sense into her, can you give me some advice that I can give to her that would follow up my reality smack? Thank you in advance for your time. – Conflicted Friend Dear Ms. Conflicted Friend , Honey, mind your business. Mind your business. Mind your business. I learned a long time ago to stay out of my friend’s relationships. Chile, they will come to you with all their problems, issues, and challenges concerning their relationship. How much they hate their mates, and they don’t know why they don’t treat them well. And, how come they bend over backwards to make it work, and yet their mates are running the streets, or treating them dirty. And, don’t let their mate curse them out and call them everything but a child of God. You are ready to fight their mate for them! They will have you so invested in “their” side of the story that you will be giving their mate the side-eye every time they come around. And, guess what happens after you console your friend, keep giving them advice time and time again, letting them know that you have their back, and you tell them that they should leave their mate? Them two fools are back together, in love, and working out their issues. Oh, yeah, and your friend will tell you that you don’t know their mate like they do. You don’t understand them. SMDH! So, my advice to you is stay out of her relationships. She will work it out, and she will learn her lessons. You’ve already given her some advice, and she hasn’t heeded. Therefore, she is not interested in your opinion or thoughts. If she wants to be a donkey, then let her be a donkey. Don’t you get in that pen with her. She’ll have you grazing and running around that field looking like a big ole’ jackass. Besides, she just wants someone to justify what she is doing. But, I’m sorry, and you should be too, but I don’t co-sign bull-ish. If you’re wrong and trifling, then I’m going to tell you that you’re wrong and trifling. I give my friends one time to vent about their mate. I listen, take in what they are saying, and I encourage them to work it out. Although I love my friends, I also know that they are giving me their side of the story. I am not with them and their mate 24-hours a day, or hanging out with them all the time. So, I don’t know what my friend’s could be doing to instigate something, or over-blowing a situation. And, I know my friends, so, therefore I listen very cautiously, and tread with ease. Because I know that every relationship has rough patches, and it’s not always easy being in a relationship. It takes lots of work. Lots of listening, lots of communicating, lots of understanding, and lots of patience. And, when folks get upset in relationships they run to their friends for consoling and advice, all while they are sharing their mate’s negatives. They may throw in some positives, but that one negative can be SO OVER THE TOP! And, then you become wrapped up in it and their relationship. Don’t do it! Don’t get involved! It will come back to bite you in the ass. Mind your business. Mind your business. Mind your business. When my friends don’t work it out, and they want to keep running back to me asking for my advice, I stop them in mid-sentence and let them know: “ I love you dearly, and I truly appreciate our friendship, and I hope you do as well. And, in order for us to remain friends I don’t want to hear about your relationship problems, challenges, and issues. I gave you some advice before and you didn’t listen or take into consideration what I had to say, so therefore, I am not going to waste my time or yours by repeating myself, or getting wrapped up in your drama. Y’all are some grown ass folks, and I am sure you can work out whatever it is. Now, unless your mate is going upside your head, or threatening you with violence, then I don’t want to hear it. But, I love you, though! Now, did you watch Basketball Wives last night? ” You see how easy that is? You see how you can control the situation, and not get caught up in someone else’s drama and mess? We all want to have pity parties, and want a house full of folks sipping on bottles of Pignot listening to Mary J. Blige and Keyshia Cole. But, after that first pity party, I am done! Chile, you’re not going to keep inviting me back and getting all sad and depressed, and falling out crying and –ish! No ma’am! So, let your friend do her, and you continue to do you! I know it’s hard watching people you love do crazy, ass backwards, and stupid –ish, especially when they know better, but sometimes you just got to let them fall and bump their big ass heads. It’s their lesson. It’s their journey, and it’s up to them to learn from their mistakes. You can’t keep bailing them out, and trying to rescue them every time they come running to you whining, and complaining. Especially, when it comes to relationships because you’ll become so invested and wrapped up in their drama and bull-ish that you’ll take that mess home, or neglect your own relationship. Then, when they get back together with their mate, you’ll be going through things with your mate and your friend won’t be nowhere to be found. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. MIND YOUR BUSINESS. MIND YOUR BUSINESS.  – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Excerpt from:
Dear Bossip: My Friend Keeps Asking For My Advice About Her Relationships & I Want To Knock Some Sense Into Her

Dear Bossip: We Met Online & I Went To Visit Him, But I Left My Coat & He Won’t Answer My Calls

Dear Bossip , Ok, so where do I begin? Here it goes! Maybe 4 months ago, I met a gentleman online. We exchanged numbers and gained a really close bond. Talking on the phone 2 to 3 times a day; morning, noon and night. We built a great relationship, for at least I thought. Mind you, he lived in Illinois and I reside in Virginia. So, he suggested I fly up to finally meet. I purchased my own airline ticket by the way, because he stated; that was all the spending I had to do, and he was correct. I arrived to Illinois, he picked me up from the airport; and again, mind you, this was our very first time meeting in person. So, I really liked what I saw. He was “such” a Gentleman, and YES, he took very good care of me; I did not spend a DIME; stayed for 4 nights. AWESOME! He introduced me to several of his friends; either they came by or we drove to their homes, which I thought was very sweet. Anyway, to make a long story short, the day of my departure, he asked if I mind if we stop at his brother’s home before going to the airport. Well, of course, I had no problem. His brother, wife and kids were all very nice and hospitable. So, when it was time to head to the airport, and after getting halfway there, I realized, I left my coat at his brother’s home. Don’t ask? Don’t know how I left a “coat” while visiting Illinois, but I did and we did not have enough time to turn around. Ok, so, I get back home safely to Virginia and I call my friend to let him know; I’m home Babe. We spoke briefly because I was a little tired from the trip, so I suggested we speak the next day. This is where things get really WEIRD! The next day I call him and I get his voice-mail, and this occurred quite frequently. To the point where I’m becoming questionable. Previously, this is a man that called all the time and never missed any of my calls. But, NOW, he has no conversation, at all! Ok, I’m confused like HELL! I finally sat still and focused on him, and just the entire event, and came to the conclusion that, here is this 45-year old man who needed his friends and family to OK me! Terrance, am I right or wrong? I’m hurt and I feel very, mislead by someone  that I really, really, thought I knew and liked very much so!  I’ve emailed and have only called twice in a respectful manner. Terrance, I’m just trying to get my coat, for real! The second time I called I couldn’t leave a message because his voice-mail is full. WHAT DO I DO? I’ve accepted and respected his wishes of not wanting to communicate with me further; I get it, I GUESS. But now, I feel as though he’s playing with me and my feelings by totally ignoring me all together. Now, I have his brother’s number and DO NOT want to call him, but seriously, should I? I’m thinking maybe his brother can talk him into at least sending me a YES, via email, pertaining to my Coat. Is this crazy or what? I need some answers. – MAD & MISSING MY COAT! Dear Ms. Mad & Missing My Coat , Uhm, no this is not crazy. YOU ARE! The hell is wrong with your ass! You keep calling this man, and he hasn’t returned any of your calls, and now his voice mail is full. WHAT DO YOU THIINK THAT MEAN? Ole slow ass special needs woman. I swear whatever you drank at that man’s house, or swallowed from him, has truly got you going bat –ish crazy. Keep that madness over there. We don’t need for it to become an outbreak and other women become infected. Wait, (ponders for a minute), damn, it’s too late. Other women have been infected. RUN! HIDE YOUR KIDS! HIDE YOURSELVES! LMBAO! Now, ma’am, do you really want the coat, or are you using the coat as a way to displace your anger because he hasn’t returned any of your calls after you spent these four wonderful days in Chicago with him and met his family and friends? And, since you stated he showed you a good time and TOOK CARE OF YOU, are you upset that you let him lay up in you, and now you feel like a high-priced hooker? I knows what “Took Care Of You” really mean. (Hmmmm, inquiring minds want to know) And, chile, cheese! I swear you women meeting these men on the internet, who live in other states, and you think it’s love because he calls you two and three times a day, answers your call when you phone, and sends you lovey-dovey text messages of how much he can’t wait to see you and make you his woman. The ole okey-doke doesn’t get old, and it certainly doesn’t matter who the culprit and players are. All of you are just pieces in the game and still can’t get the rules right. SMDH! Simpleton is not your forte. Perhaps it’s your expertise. I’m curious as to what type of relationship did you think you were going to create with a man you met on the internet, and he lives in Illinois and you live in Virginia? Were you in your head, because that’s what you delirious women do, planning this wonderful relationship of bliss and if you or he was going to move and be together? I seriously and highly doubt that was going to happen. And, let’s get something very clear right now. Your dumbass bought an airline ticket to go see this man, and it was your first visit. Uhm, sweetie, if this man was so interested in you, and so gung-ho about you visiting, then he should have anteed up half of the ticket. Yeah, yeah, he took care of everything while you were there, but you did stay at his home, correct? Hmmm, pulls out my bull-ish calculator and begins to add things up. Now, according to the bull-ish calculator staying at his home didn’t cost him anything. Did he take you out to eat, and where? Or did he cook at home? (Does some adding and subtracting, and now divide the bull-ish that he fed you. Okay, eating at fast food restaurants, because I know he didn’t take you to any 5 or 4 star restaurants, adds up to basically nothing.) So, I want to know what did he come out of pocket for? The gas that he used when he picked you up from the airport and dropped you off? The gas he used to take you to meet his friends, and keep in mind that you went by the brother’s house on your way to the airport. According to my bull-ish calculator only “Johns” use gas to pick up “Tricks.” Chile, you people really need to invest in a bull-ish calculator. It breaks everything down for you. Especially all you basic women who do basic ass –ish. On the real, I get the feeling that dude is not feeling you, and after the four days of using you as his sex whore, ooops, I’m sorry, I meant his proposed love interest, LOL, that he really is not into you. The fact that you keep calling and you get no response, uhm, let me buy you a damn clue. THE MAN DOES NOT WANT TO BE BOTHERED. HE’S GOTTEN WHAT HE WANTS FROM YOU. HE IS A PLAYER, AND YOU GOT PLAYED. STOP BEING A TRICK AND LEARN THE RULES OF THE GAME SO IT WON’T HAPPEN AGAIN. And, if you have his brother’s number, and if you’re sooooooo interested in getting your coat, then why haven’t you called him? What the hell are you waiting for? But, again, it’s not about the coat. It’s the fact that your feelings are hurt. You’re bothered by the fact that you spent money to go see a man, and let him bang you out, and you don’t understand why a man whom told you all the things that you wanted to hear would do something like this to you. Girl, wake up and stop acting naïve and childish. You knew what you were going to Illinois for. Hell, all of the people he took you to meet knew what you were in Illinois for. Ladies, ladies, ladies, please stop meeting these men on the internet and letting them fill your head up with all these wonderful ideas of a happy ever after. It’s all lies and bull-ish. They are only telling you what you want to hear. They are only getting you hot and bothered so they can blow your backs out. THAT IS THE PLAN! ALWAYS! So, chuck up the deuces and count it as a lesson learned. Move on, and if you really want your damn coat call the brother and have him ship it to you, or offer to have it shipped to you at your costs. The end. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Dear Bossip: We Met Online & I Went To Visit Him, But I Left My Coat & He Won’t Answer My Calls

Dear Bossip: I Keep Catching My Husband Inappropriately Texting Other Women

Hello Bossip , My hubby and I have been married 10 years with 2 kids. He is in the military. I am having a serious problem and I will try to make this short even though there is a lot to my story. One night we had friends over and we were drinking and ended up messing around with another couple. (Me with her hubby, her with mine) This is not something we have ever done before. Ever since then my hubby keeps asking for a threesome with another girl. I keep saying no!! One night after my birthday, and a couple drinks, he invited the husband over without me knowing, as I was half asleep and drunk. In the morning he told me we had a threesome. (Same husband from above) I told him after that I never want to do it again because I know its wrong and I was not raised that way. Months later, I went through his cell phone and found a girl he was texting. He was telling her how he wanted her to send him naked pictures, and he wanted to sleep with her. When I confronted him, he said they met at the car wash after almost crashing into each other. They exchanged numbers, and they were basically just texting, and had never met up. He deleted her number after I confronted him. Everything was fine until he went out of state, and when he came home I found another text with a different girl, and he was again asking for more pictures and asking if she wanted a threesome. I confronted him. He tried to say someone was using his phone, but I knew that was a lie. So, finally he tells me he was sorry and doesn’t want me to be mad because he never got a picture, and they never met up. There were no pictures when I looked through his phone. He is now deployed. Recently he came home on R & R and when he left to go back to Afghan, I saw a message on his Facebook page from another girl asking her to send him pictures to his email. I confronted him. He said he never got the picture and that he was sorry.  After that I noticed he deleted her from his Facebook page. At this point I was so mad I told him I didn’t want to talk anymore. I was feeling totally disrespected and I feel I can’t trust him. He kept trying to talk and I told him when he finds a way to regain my trust then we can talk. What do you think I should do? It’s been four days and he hasn’t emailed me again trying to apologize or open up as to what his problem is. I am heart-broken and confused because even though he hasn’t cheated, I can’t help but wonder why he keeps asking for pictures because I also send him picturess when he ask me to. And, trust me, I do take sexy pictures because he is my husband. So, I don’t know what the problem is. I am only 110 lbs. He always tells me I am pretty, so I know he is not looking for something else because I am not fat and ugly. I need help figuring out what to do. I don’t want my kids to miss out on not having Dad around but I just feel totally disrespected because I have talked to him each time I caught him which is now the 3rd time. Help me please. Thanks. – Confused And Tired Dear Ms. Confused And Tired , This is what happens when you open Pandora’s Box, and you’re trying to close it, but it’s too late. Once she is open you can’t do anything about it. She is free and wants to continue the path you’ve started down. You and your husband engaged in a sex swap session with another couple, and then when you husband approached you to engage in a threesome you said no. Now, I know couples do things to try to spice up their marriage, but I’m curious as to why would you engage in a swapping of spouses if you’re against having a threesome with your husband? You both slept with other people, which is technically cheating, despite either of you being present during the act. So, were you, and had you been interested in sleeping with another man? Is that a desire of yours? I’ll wait while you ponder those questions. But, I’m more disturbed and bothered by the fact that your husband would invite another man over, and while you were drunk and half sleep, he and the other man had a threesome with you. WOW! That’s some low down cold-blooded –ish right there. I don’t care who you’re married to, or in a relationship with, but for your mate to invite a friend over and force themselves on you without your consent or knowledge is grounds for divorce, and some grits being thrown on his ass while he’s sleep. You better boil you some water and when his ass goes to sleep, ba-by, you need to douse him with said water all over his nuts. I’m certain he won’t make the error again. And, quick question: Is your husband bisexual or possibly have gay tendencies? I mean, he did invite another man over to have a threesome with his drunk and half sleep wife. Two men, and one woman (who is drunk and half sleep). Hmmmm, makes you wonder. But, I digress. Oh yeah, one last thing. I wouldn’t leave any open containers around your husband that you’re drinking from. No ma’am. I think he is slipping you something in your drink, which is causing you to black out. Now, you don’t have to believe me, but go to the doctor and get a blood test. If they discover some date rape drug, or roofies in your blood system, well, I’m just putting it out there that your husband is the culprit. (Boil that damn water, girl!) On to the next topic. Your husband has completely destroyed your trust, and he’s done it several times over. Girl, you’ve caught him several different times communicating with other women asking for pictures, and soliciting sex from them. Two times you caught him with his own cell phone, and the third time was via the internet. Am I missing something here, or are you really that naïve and stupid? Either your husband has got to be the dumbest ass man who keeps getting caught doing the same thing, or he wants you to catch him and he’s hopeful that you’ll change your mind and ask to join in for a threesome. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that he wants you to catch him. I mean come the freak on! You keep catching him. He keeps apologizing that it won’t happen again, which your dumbass believes, and he deletes the girl’s numbers. Which I doubt very seriously. He may have deleted their numbers out of his phone, but those numbers are secured someplace else. Trust me! However, here’s the problem, sweetie. You have not reprimanded, or gave any recourse of action due to his behavior. So, every time you catch him asking for women to send him pictures, and they’re talking about hooking up for sex, you sit your simple ass over there trying to talk it out with him. Uhm, no ma’am. Whoop that ass!!! Let him know you’re not the one to be played with, and as I stated before at the top of my response when he and his friend had a threesome with you without your knowledge, wait until his ass goes to sleep and boil that damn water and douse his nuts!!! YOUR HUSBAND IS OUT OF POCKET, AND HE CONTINUES TO VIOLATE YOU! Stop the madness and the “one day my husband will stop and see how he’s hurting me,” routine. He’s not going to stop. He’s not going to end his charade of operation “Get P***Y.” You need to set some boundaries and let him know what you will and will not tolerate. Stop letting him get away with texting other women, and trying to set up some booty call. Real talk, it’s time to get up in his ass!!! Now, you’re talking about you’re heart-broken and confused, which you should be, after you learned that your husband was on Facebook communicating with another woman, and he’s in Afghan, which his ass needs to be focused on the war instead of getting naked pictures of women. The hell is going on!!!!! But, it’s been a few days and you haven’t heard from him, and he hasn’t apologized or communicated as to what his problem is. SMDH! Girl, please, stop it. You can’t be that dumb. But, it could be the residual effects from that roofie still in your system. (That’s shade being thrown by me) This is your husband’s problem: He wants some other tail. He wants to sample some other punany. Ever since he got up in his friend’s wife snatch, he now wants to run up in other women. And, since you don’t want to do the threesome with him, he is out scouring the earth searching for other women to engage in a threesome with him. And, based on my bull-ish calculator, he is going to find two chickenheads who will happily oblige him. This is the time for you to get your –ish together and stop mopping around waiting on him to man up and tell you what the problem is. He’s not. And, trust me, you’re not going to do what it takes to fix it. So, again, fix his narrow ass and boil that damn hot water and douse his nuts!!! Let me stop saying that before you take me serious and do the damn thing. I don’t want no subpoena from you and your lawyers after you scorch his ass. LMBAO! Listen, girl, I’m certain your husband may be a good dad to his kids. But, that doesn’t make him a great husband. Stop confusing the two. Some men are good fathers, but make horrible husbands. His actions and what he’s showing you is not in alignment with a man who is a dedicated and a committed husband. Although, there are some issues and challenges you need to discuss, however, your husband is already stepping out on you and the marriage. Now, unless he’s interested in salvaging the marriage, and moving forward to resolving the issues he has, then there’s nothing you can do. He has to want to make the changes. He has to want to be in a monogamous relationship, and be a husband to you. You can’t make him do those things. If that’s not what he wants, then boo boo, it’s time to get them papers in order, and move on. Now, go boil that damn water! – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?
