🎙️ 151 PROOF PODCAST | TELL IT LIKE IT IS TUESDAY
Let’s talk about forgiveness... because some of y’all have a VERY interesting forgiveness policy.
How is it that some women will forgive their man for cheating, lying, disrespecting them, not taking care of the house, barely showing up for the kids, embarrassing them, using them, and sometimes even mistreating them...
But let a family member or close friend say ONE DAMN THING they don’t like.
BLOCKED.
DELETED.
CUT OFF.
DEAD TO THEM.
Now all of a sudden it’s...
“I don’t play about my peace.”
Ma’am... where was all that peace when that man was putting you through HELL?
And before somebody gets in their feelings... I’m not talking about women who are trapped in abusive relationships where fear, manipulation, financial dependence, isolation, or safety is involved. That is a completely different conversation.
I’m talking about the ones who will give that man 17 chances, 9 apologies, 6 “I promise I’ll change” speeches, and a damn bonus round...
But Mama, Sister, Cousin, Auntie, or Best Friend gets ONE mistake.
So here is today’s 151 Proof Question of the Day...
WHY?
Is it because your they can’t dick you down after the argument?
Is it because your man fills your head with the s**t you WANT to hear... while your family tells you the s**t you NEED to hear?
Is it pride?
Is it s*x?
Is it fear of being alone?
Is it because you know your family loves you, so you feel safer punishing THEM?
Do you secretly have resentment toward your family or friends that has absolutely nothing to do with that one argument?
Or are you so afraid of losing a relationship that you will accept behavior from a partner that you would NEVER accept from anybody else?
Because THAT is the conversation I want to have.
Why will some people turn the other cheek over and over while their partner dogs them the hell out...
But would rather lose their left foot, walk barefoot through hell, and hop their ass back home on the right one before forgiving a family member for something that could have been handled with ONE grown-ass conversation?
Make it make sense.
And here’s another uncomfortable question...
Why do we sometimes expect MORE loyalty, understanding, and forgiveness from the people who have loved us the longest... while accepting LESS from the person sleeping next to us?
Whew...
Now THAT might p**s somebody off.
But this is 151 Proof... we’re not watering s**t down over here.
So tell me...
Have you experienced this?
Have you watched somebody continuously forgive their partner while cutting off family and friends over something minor?
Or... plot twist...
Are YOU the one giving your partner chances you wouldn’t give anybody else?
I want to hear both sides.
