00:00Previously on Vail Collective.
00:02I'm having a birthday party.
00:04I'm celebrating my thriving 45.
00:07What up, fam?
00:08Cedric lost his brother, and that death
00:11brought us back together.
00:14We're taking things slow.
00:16Happy birthday!
00:24I have rekindled things with my ex-husband.
00:28And I also have a friend I've been
00:30seeing for quite some time.
00:33Come on.
00:34I like him.
00:35What in the poly is going on here?
00:38I went to a wedding venue.
00:40And before we go down this aisle,
00:42I always want to make sure we on the right track.
00:46I don't even know where the hell to start.
00:47I cannot go into this marriage.
00:50Without communication.
00:52Right.
00:53How do you feel about the reconnection of Latrice
00:54and Leticia?
00:55Oh, God.
00:56Douglas, M-I-D-U.
00:58What?
00:59What?
01:01What's your answer, girl?
01:02Amanda's my girl, and Leticia's my girl.
01:06So where do I go from here?
01:07No.
01:16Leticia!
01:25Do you want to do this?
01:57Drip, drivin', drivin', sweat don't stop.
02:01Hey, how you doing, ma'am?
02:02Welcome to Monty's.
02:05Table for two, please?
02:06Yes, ma'am.
02:07We have a table right over here for you.
02:08Oh, perfect.
02:14This is Letitia Pearson, your bail bondsman from yesterday.
02:17I just wanted to call to give you an update
02:20on your next court date.
02:22The people always want to know, what's going on at Letitia
02:25Pearson's Enterprise, OK?
02:27It's more than brunching.
02:29I am a paralegal.
02:30I'm a bail bondsman.
02:32I have a mentorship program.
02:34I'm literally a Jill of all trades.
02:37I can file your divorce for you, honey,
02:40and go over here and bond you out of jail.
02:42Stop playing with me.
02:43Living my best life 24-7.
02:46Yeah.
02:47All the pressure's applied.
02:49You should feel threatened.
02:53OK, thank you.
02:54I'll talk to you soon.
02:55Bye.
02:56Hey, my girl.
02:57It's giving.
02:59It's giving.
03:00It's giving.
03:00Um, Whitley Gilbert.
03:01Yes.
03:02Jasmine.
03:02Oh, oh, my god.
03:03Yes, girl.
03:04I'm super excited to see my girl Carrie today and catch up,
03:08not just on the mess that happened at Marie's party,
03:11but to talk to her about an upcoming event called the Relunch
03:14Social that I want to collaborate with her on.
03:16Girl, can we hear?
03:18Can we what, girl?
03:19Can we what?
03:20Can we what?
03:21Can we what?
03:22Baby Jackson showed out last week when I saw y'all.
03:24So I want to ask you, so what did you think about the party?
03:27Like, what did you think?
03:29I had a great time.
03:31Mm-hmm.
03:32I mean, I thought it was Jackson.
03:35It wasn't giving coastal vibes.
03:37Well, oh, not the shade.
03:39Here you go.
03:40Not the shade.
03:41Now, Carrie, you my girl and all, but you know how to throw some shade
03:45when it comes to Jackson.
03:47If you want to be a part of this collective,
03:48you're going to have to tread lightly, OK?
03:51We don't play over here.
03:52I guess everybody was stressed out.
03:53There was some tension.
03:54Mm-hmm.
03:55There was some tension.
03:56I could feel it.
03:57I don't think it was a lot of tension.
03:58I think it was confusion.
04:00How you doing?
04:01Oh, you look amazing.
04:02Good to see you.
04:04Thank you for the invitation.
04:05Absolutely.
04:06How about Jess?
04:07I'm good.
04:08Good.
04:09Because I was like, what is going on?
04:11Like, is this a love triangle?
04:13Like, OK.
04:14OK, here's the thing.
04:16I invited Martin first.
04:18And I invited Cedric.
04:19But Cedric said he wasn't coming.
04:21So, Marie, you mean to tell me they don't even
04:23know anything about each other?
04:25Well, Cedric is aware that I had a white friend guy.
04:30I do not know, honestly.
04:32Nearby.
04:332 plus 2 is definitely not giving 4.
04:34So I don't know what this is.
04:37Watching Marie juggle this love life triangle thing
04:41with Cedric and Martin.
04:42I'm concerned.
04:43Because you're putting your heart out there on the line.
04:46And I do not want you hurt.
04:47So you've got to figure this out.
04:50Now, you know, I'm trying to get back to my purpose,
04:53which Bruncher has always been a part of.
04:55So we're talking about a relaunch and it's a social to introduce
04:58Women Brunch Mississippi is coming back.
05:00OK.
05:01Bruncher is not going anywhere.
05:02Well, for me.
05:03You've got to get some sponsors.
05:04Mm-hmm.
05:05Mm-hmm.
05:06That's your first step.
05:07And I've been doing this on my own.
05:08That's the thing.
05:09So is the venue, is it going to be like a sit down
05:11or it's just a chill, everybody mingling, social type?
05:14Um, no.
05:15It's the socials.
05:16It's not a sit down brunch.
05:17It's not a brunch.
05:18OK.
05:19But we're going to have brunch food.
05:20I want to have an intimate party called the Relunch Social
05:24to announce the upcoming tour of Women Brunch Mississippi.
05:28And Carey is a good partner to help me on the Relunch Social
05:31because she is a social butterfly
05:33and she's good at hosting events.
05:35So, hey, it works.
05:37She is perfect.
05:38I've been doing this on my own.
05:40Not anymore, honey.
05:41Good.
05:42I got you.
05:43As long as we got our mimosas, baby.
05:44Yes.
05:45Mimosa queen.
05:46Mimosa queen.
06:06Good morning, Jessica.
06:07Good morning.
06:08How you doing?
06:09How about yourself?
06:10Good.
06:11I'll be with you all shortly to begin our meeting.
06:13OK.
06:14Good morning.
06:15So how you been?
06:17We really hadn't talked since the party.
06:19We have not.
06:20But first, real quick.
06:22I've updated and revised Hamilton Davis Mental Health,
06:25the opioid treatment clinic policy.
06:27OK.
06:28As well as the mental health policy.
06:30OK.
06:31Business is great.
06:33Hamilton Davis is doing exceptionally well.
06:36Currently, we are renovating a 26-bed facility
06:40for some of our patients.
06:43Overall, Hamilton Davis is thriving.
06:46How's your health?
06:47I'm feeling OK.
06:48For the most part, I'm doing well.
06:49You're good.
06:50I'm doing well.
06:51I had a great report in Birmingham last week.
06:54So everything is moving right along.
06:58Good.
06:59God got you.
07:00God got me so.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Currently, Essie is traveling to and from Alabama
07:06for her lung transplant.
07:08And in spite of what Essie is going through,
07:10she's pushing through.
07:13I want to have a conversation with you about a conversation
07:16I've had with you previously.
07:18OK.
07:19HD Hamilton Davis is doing phenomenal.
07:23Yes.
07:24And I am so proud of us, of how far we have come.
07:28Mm-hmm.
07:29We have planted the seeds, and we are reaping the harvest.
07:33With that being said, it'll be great for me to retire.
07:37You know, I've been an entrepreneur for 25 years.
07:40I've put in a lot of work into building
07:43the Hamilton Davis brand.
07:45And there's pretty much nothing else I can do
07:48when it comes to health care.
07:50I've put in the work, and I feel like it's time
07:52for me to retire.
07:54No.
07:55You cannot retire right now.
07:56Give me another year.
07:58You said that last year.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Give me another year.
08:01So we can't hire another executive director
08:03to do what I do.
08:04No.
08:05Nobody's going to do it like you do.
08:08So 12 more months.
08:0912 more months.
08:10And I say, OK, Ri, you can go.
08:12I'm sorry.
08:13I can't do it.
08:14If you stop trying to juggle all these men,
08:16you will have time to do it.
08:20Yes.
08:21You're going to say that.
08:23Yes.
08:24And see, with the mess, she never stops.
08:28Like, I'm living my life.
08:30The difference between me and others
08:32is I'm being upfront with what I'm doing.
08:35The party, I thought, would be a disaster
08:38when I saw Martin walking in.
08:41If Martin had been a different person,
08:43or Sid had been a different person,
08:45it would have been some stuff thrown,
08:47some furniture moved.
08:49And then, Hesla, you out here dancing with both of them
08:52just lame.
08:53And I was shoot twirling with both of them.
08:56I'm like, oh!
08:57Look at that.
08:58Hi!
08:59I'm like, yeah!
09:00I'm like, yeah!
09:01I'm like, yeah!
09:02I'm that bitch!
09:05I'm like, oh my god!
09:09Even though the party was fun,
09:11I'm conflicted.
09:12Honestly, it's a lot for me to process
09:14because like, you know, I love Cedric.
09:17Mm-hmm.
09:18And, you know, I like Martin.
09:21People think that Martin is a fly-by-night,
09:23oh, I'm just doing something to pass time.
09:26But actually, I have grown to care about Martin.
09:29I do.
09:30That man had me, um, on the back of that, uh, jet ski,
09:35ride me from one side of the ocean to the next.
09:38I would not have never did anything like that ever.
09:43Yeah.
09:44So, you know, he just...
09:45He just brought something different.
09:46He just brought something different into my life
09:48and just showed me a different way of life,
09:51a different culture.
09:52And I like that.
09:53Mm-hmm.
09:54You know, um, I really enjoyed him.
09:56So I'm wrestling.
09:57I have not heard a word from Martin for two weeks
10:00since he been out of town.
10:01And now I'm at a crossroads, um, as to, you know,
10:06how am I going to proceed with him in my life?
10:10I do love Cedric.
10:11I do.
10:12But then on the other hand, you know, I was having fun.
10:16You need to get your stuff together, baby,
10:18because you got too much going on.
10:21My heart is leading in a certain direction,
10:24but I need to have a conversation with Martin.
10:27I need clarity at this point.
10:30And I need to know who to root for.
10:32Both of them.
10:33Coming up on Bell Collective.
10:38Communication is key.
10:39Sometimes you be moving like you my boyfriend.
10:42I'm my fiancee.
10:43The way you got me is the way you need to keep me.
10:46I have not heard from you.
10:48I have not seen your butt.
10:50Like, my friend seems like she a little distance.
10:52I've been in my feelings.
10:53I ain't gonna lie.
10:55You know, I really like you.
11:00I'm so sorry.
11:05Go ahead, pop another bottle.
11:07What?
11:08Because I'm stepping on the scene.
11:10Oh.
11:11And we about to celebrate.
11:13Yeah.
11:14We about to celebrate me.
11:15Yeah.
11:16Why you tripping all the time?
11:18I be tripping all the time.
11:19I be getting to the paper.
11:20You know I'm against mine.
11:22I be putting in that work.
11:24Yeah.
11:25Baby, I'ma make it work.
11:27Yeah.
11:31Ree, what you cooking in there?
11:33It's a surprise.
11:36Stay tuned.
11:37All right.
11:38You're going to love it.
11:40Mm-hmm.
11:41Mm-hmm.
11:42Say it.
11:43Yo.
11:44What do you think about my birthday party?
11:46It was lit.
11:47It was nice.
11:48It was nice?
11:49I'm glad you came.
11:51Oh, yeah.
11:52Had to.
11:53Look, I'm still torn between Cedric and Martin,
11:58but had a date night with Cedric,
12:00and one thing led to another, and here I am.
12:04Did you enjoy yourself at your birthday party?
12:06I did.
12:07I enjoyed myself.
12:09Um, you know, I felt at first uncomfortable a little bit.
12:15Why were you uncomfortable?
12:17I had, you know, you were there.
12:19I had you there, and then my friend showed up.
12:23Well, I told them, you know, my name.
12:27I told them that we have a daughter to go.
12:29Marie and I have a 12-year-old daughter.
12:31Yes.
12:32And then, uh, I've been married before.
12:35Yes.
12:36We had two children, so.
12:37Okay.
12:38So that's 17 and 19.
12:39Oh, that's great.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Oh.
12:42Okay.
12:43But it felt awkward, though.
12:44Here you are, dancing with this guy, and you trying to dance with me, too.
12:49Come on!
12:51It's my birthday!
12:54It's my birthday!
12:55I felt like a sucker.
12:58I just felt unsettled.
13:00I was unsettled, too, because you know what?
13:02Think about this.
13:03Just like I said.
13:04I felt uncomfortable having you there and having my friend there.
13:08And I don't ever want to be in that position ever again.
13:12The reason why I think that I'm right for Marie is because I got unconditional love in my heart.
13:18Why?
13:19Because we got so much of history together.
13:21We got a whole baby together.
13:23We done built our family around each other.
13:25You know, we're taking one day at a time, Marie.
13:28But that moment made me feel like maybe this is not right now for us.
13:36I get it.
13:37I get it.
13:38But, like, just bear with me.
13:42I'm working through it.
13:44Yeah.
13:45I'm here with you.
13:46Yeah, that's true.
13:47Okay, I could have been over there with him in his bed.
13:50I'm here with you.
13:51Marie.
13:52Mm-hmm.
13:53In terms of that guy, your friend and everything, you know, what I do want you to know is that
14:01it'll mean the world to me for you to just be happy.
14:04Mm-hmm.
14:05I'm gonna wait until you communicate with me that you'll settle.
14:11All right.
14:12I like Martin.
14:14I really like him.
14:15He's a great person.
14:17But I love Cedric.
14:19It's...
14:20It's complicated.
14:22It's...
14:23It's complicated.
14:26Keep going.
14:27Keep going.
14:28Keep going.
14:29Keep going.
14:30Keep going.
14:31Keep going.
14:32Keep going.
14:33Keep going.
14:34Keep going.
14:35Keep going.
14:36Keep going.
14:37I have had so much on my plate.
14:50I play, I have been one busy mama.
14:53My daughter Skye has a baby on the way.
14:55Then also, I want to do the all-white event
14:59in honor of my son, Quincy Johnson.
15:01I'm trying to see if it's the right spot for my event.
15:04This is like my baby, you know.
15:06This is memories of my son.
15:09The last thing I need to deal with
15:10is these communication problems I have with Mike,
15:13because it has gotten worse.
15:15And right now, Mike is getting the solid treatment.
15:18So I guess you can say, I'm having communication issues now.
15:48What the hell wrong with you?
15:54When you was out of town, you didn't answer that phone.
15:58That's one thing.
16:00Communication is key with any type of relationship.
16:03Sometimes you don't act like you know it.
16:05You be moving like you my boyfriend, not my fiance.
16:08How? What move when?
16:10Oh, you talking about when I be going to do stuff?
16:12Yes, you're supposed to tell me that.
16:17I don't know what changed.
16:19But he used to tell me everything,
16:21and I think he's probably getting a little comfortable.
16:24And I'm like, baby, no, don't get comfortable.
16:27The way you got me is the way you need to keep me.
16:30It can be so easy, so simple.
16:33I mean, you could be so easy, too,
16:35if you be talking and don't walk off.
16:37Now, Michael, when I'm talking, you be walking off.
16:41So you really need to meet the Pearsons.
16:44They done been through hell and back.
16:46So they're the right couple to talk to.
16:49Next week, Latisha is setting up an outing
16:52for Mike and I to help us with our communication problems.
16:56I feel like it's going to help.
16:57I mean, it can't do any worse.
17:03Coming up on Bell Collective.
17:05Well, wait a minute now.
17:06Since all y'all up in my business,
17:08let's play a game, true or false.
17:10Oh, we can tell me that you all experience infidelity
17:12in your marriage.
17:15They all up in my business,
17:17wanting to know, you know, about Martin and Cedric.
17:19OK, I said, well, let's play a game.
17:21I want to know what's it.
17:27Oh, my God, take this on a crown like you've never seen before.
17:32Stand you around like you want more.
17:34Show you something that you've never seen before.
17:36Never seen before.
17:37Never seen before.
17:38Never seen before.
17:39Never seen before.
17:40Oh, it's so pretty.
17:43How you doing?
17:44How you doing?
17:46Oh, my God, it's so pretty.
17:47You guys are so excited.
17:48Yes, yes, yes.
17:50Today, we are at my house.
17:51I'm so excited.
17:53Yes, yes, yes.
17:55Today, we are at my relaunch social of Women Brunch Mississippi,
18:00the platform for female entrepreneurs to network.
18:03So my brunches are more than an expensive hobby.
18:06My brunches allow women to really come together and collaborate
18:10and be successful.
18:11And we're here to celebrate and to announce my statewide tour.
18:17Oh, I'm sorry.
18:19I get so passionate talking about my brunches.
18:22I know that little flip, that little hair flip.
18:37Hey, wounded.
18:38Hey, all right.
18:39You got your ponytail to the side today.
18:42I love doing my Lajenia in a bottle thing, girly.
18:56It's just one little hair.
18:58And then it happens to be gray.
19:00My neck back here.
19:01Okay, I see you got found the bag.
19:02Oh, everybody got found the bag, bro.
19:04Hello.
19:05How you doing?
19:07I am so excited to show up to support my girl, Leticia,
19:10for her relaunch, and I hope Latrice shows up
19:13because I just want to clear the air with her
19:16because I was supposed to be the bar manager at Taste,
19:19and unfortunately, some things happened.
19:24All right, hey, everybody.
19:26Thank you all for coming this evening.
19:29Hey, come on.
19:30Good evening.
19:32I'm here at the relaunch social today
19:34to support my girl, Leticia,
19:36but when it comes to Amanda and Glenn DMing her,
19:39I'm still kind of conflicted.
19:41You know Glenn's saying my DM.
19:44Finding out about the DMs has definitely made me uneasy,
19:48especially when it comes to me and Leticia's friendship.
19:50And quite frankly,
19:51I'm not exactly excited to see Selena either.
19:54We still have unresolved issues.
19:57She ghosted me on becoming a bar manager at Taste.
20:00This lady right here has been a trailblazer
20:03in the business community.
20:06We're happy to work and partner with her
20:08on expanding the brunch series.

24:14I dropped in my ear.
24:15You were trying to shake
24:16the hell out of me.

24:44Marie, are you serious?
24:46All of your relationships
24:47have had infidelity,
24:48so why try to bring up

24:59Oh, man, I said false.
25:00We born.
25:01And where the hell
25:02did this come from?
25:03So, Liz.
25:04I just want to know.
25:05I want to dibble and dabble
25:06in your all this.
25:07I'm a single lady.
25:08Okay, that is something
25:10that I have a question with
25:11because I have been so confused.
25:13The last time we all
25:14hung out as couples,
25:16Martin was your boyfriend.
25:18What happened when Martin
25:20became the friend
25:21and Cedric became my man?
25:24When did that happen?
25:25So let me explain.
25:27Okay.
25:27Cedric is my ex-husband.
25:30You know, death brought
25:31us back together.
25:32Unfortunately, he came back
25:34into the picture
25:35while I was, I guess,
25:37trying to figure out
25:38things between me and Martin.
25:39And I'm just trying
25:41to navigate.
25:43In my book, you know,
25:44everybody got somebody.
25:46And you deserve somebody.
25:47I'm working on my love.
25:49Like, I never portrayed
25:50to have my personal life
25:51in order.
25:52Even though I am
25:53a brilliant-ass businesswoman,
25:56I'm human.
25:57Well, let's have a conversation,
25:59y'all.
25:59Let's mingle some work.
26:01I got a fit.
26:02Me too.
26:03Friend, we got a fit.
26:05God damn.
26:05You hurt so bad.
26:07Oh, my God.
26:11What's going on, friend?
26:13Nothing.
26:13That's what I'm trying
26:14to see what's going on.
26:15I have not heard from you.
26:17I have not seen your butt.
26:19Selena was supposed
26:19to be the bar manager
26:20at Taste.
26:22Listen, this is Selena.
26:24This is our bar manager.
26:26Yes, honey.
26:27And when I had
26:28the grand opening,
26:29Selena was not there
26:31to help me at all.
26:32I actually want to have
26:33a conversation with Selena
26:34because y'all just felt
26:36like she left me
26:37out of the drive.
26:38So it's just all sorts
26:40of things that's going
26:41through my head right now.
26:42I know I'm supposed
26:43to be working at Taste,
26:44but then I had my car accident.
26:46I wasn't able to work,
26:47so I had to recover
26:48and all that.
26:49And I'm just like,
26:50my friend seemed like
26:51she a little distant.
26:52I was in my feelings
26:53a little bit about you
26:54not working at the restaurant
26:55because I felt like
26:55it was an excuse.
26:57And yeah, I felt
26:58I did feel some type of way.
27:00I wish we would have
27:00had a conversation early on.
27:02Like, honestly,
27:03I should have called
27:04and been like,
27:04hey, Selena,
27:05you know, I feel
27:05some type of way
27:06about you not working
27:06at Taste,
27:07and you not being vocal
27:08and letting me know
27:09you just not showing up
27:10or whatever.
27:11Okay, because my feelings
27:12was, I've been in my feelings.
27:14I ain't gonna lie.
27:15You know, after the accident,
27:16I lost my dog,
27:18and my dog that died,
27:20that was my son's dog.
27:21I'm like, that dog was there
27:23where my son was murdered.
27:25So, I just felt like
27:26I lost another part
27:27of my son.
27:28It's like,
27:29hit after hit
27:30after hit after hit.
27:31I apologize
27:32for not letting you know.
27:35Okay, so,

27:41that Latrice and I
27:43got the opportunity
27:44to connect
27:45because I do value
27:46our friendship.
27:47We've been friends
27:48for over a decade,
27:49so I don't want her
27:50to think that
27:51I abandoned her.

33:36Did I make a mistake
33:39I mean
33:39I love this man
33:40I can't see myself
33:42With nobody else
33:43But then I'm like
33:44You feel like
33:44Y'all started too fast
33:46I don't think
33:47We started too fast
33:48It's just
33:48I was in a very
33:50Vulnerable state of mind
33:52And he just did
33:53All the right things
33:55He said all the right things
33:56Everything was perfect
33:57In 2020
33:58My son was murdered
34:00And that took a toll on me
34:03And I'm still not over it
34:04And that's why I want us
34:06To start communicating more
34:07It's not just him
34:09Sometimes I get in my feelings
34:11And I don't want to talk
34:12And I should
34:13But I don't want to feel like
34:15I'm bothering him
34:16When Quincy passed
34:18It's like
34:18I mean you was grieving
34:20But we were also grieving
34:22And so
34:23Like when it came
34:24To being there for you
34:25It just gave you
34:26A different type of comfort
34:27Where we couldn't
34:28Yeah we like Mike
34:29He helps out a lot
34:31And he doesn't have to
34:32And then when it comes
34:33To y'all too
34:34I just feel like
34:35Y'all really match
34:36Each other's like energy
34:37I know y'all love him
34:38The devil
34:38I love Mike too
34:39We just got some issues
34:41We gotta work out
34:42We love Mike
34:43But it's not over
34:44Your happiness
34:45So we just want
34:47Y'all both
34:47To do what's best
34:48For both of y'all
34:49I mean it would be wrong
34:50Of you to get married
34:52And then y'all going
34:53Into the marriage
34:53Having problems
34:54I just want to make sure
34:55When I get married
34:56This time
34:57It's for the long haul
34:58They'll do us part
34:59That's what I want
35:00After talking to my daughters
35:02I don't really think
35:04I'm getting anywhere
35:05Because they love
35:06Michael to pieces
35:08But to me
35:09I don't want to go
35:10Into a marriage
35:11With all these problems
35:12We have to get over
35:13This hump
35:14If not
35:15There's not gonna be
35:16I know in it
35:16I know in it
35:25When you since day one, you used to pick me up in your hot day.
35:30Yeah, right around town, just a person.
35:41There you go.
35:42All right.
35:43Can I get you started with something to drink?
35:44Water with lemon.
35:45OK.
35:46I'll be right back.
35:48I have not really seen or talked to Martin.
35:51And after talking to Cedric and Essie about Martin,
35:55I need to know what's going on with him.
36:05Hey, Marie.
36:06Hi, Martin.
36:07How are you?
36:08Good.
36:08How are you?
36:09How are you?
36:10You're looking good.
36:11Well, thank you.
36:12How are you?
36:13Yeah, good.
36:17How are you doing?
36:19I'm well.
36:20What about you?
36:21I'm tired, but happy.
36:24Yeah.
36:26You want an old-fashioned?
36:28Oh, not today.
36:29Not today?
36:30No, I think a Diet Coke is what I need today.
36:34What you need today.
36:36I'm glad you can come to my party.
36:38So how was it being at the party with my ex?
36:44Oh, I just enjoyed myself.
36:46Well, I'm glad you had a great time.
36:47Oh, yeah.
36:48That was good.
36:49That was good.
36:50There you go, sir.
36:52What are we doing, Germany?
36:53Oh.
36:54Post.
36:55Post.
36:56Post.
36:58Yeah, so Germany, did you enjoy yourself?
37:02Yeah, yeah.
37:03I went with the kids to the mountains for skiing.
37:05I love to see that, because my dad has always been in my life, so I can't even imagine having
37:12somebody in my life who don't, you know, show up for their children.
37:15Yes.
37:17One of the main reasons why I fell for Martin is his love for his children.
37:23And that is what won me over with him.
37:27I love a family mania.
37:28After you came back from Germany, when I picked you up from the airport, we hung out
37:34that day, that next day, and then after that, I didn't hear from you for, like, three weeks.
37:39I didn't know if you had gone back, or if you were still here, or what happened.
37:45When I came back, it was like, I was working a lot.
37:54Okay, if I can just be honest, I just felt like the place we were in, we were hanging out,
37:58we were having a great time, new communication, so it went from that to nothing.
38:04I just felt kind of abandoned, or maybe, I don't know, maybe disrespected.
38:11So, it did hurt my feelings, you know.
38:14I'm sorry, that was really not my intention.
38:17That's okay, but I just wanted to let you know that.
38:18Yeah, like, I don't want to...
38:22When you ghost me, I feel like you ghost me, and you stop communicating with me.
38:28It was like my daughter's father, he just somehow just started coming back around, checking
38:39me, you know, just being nice, and just pretty much just like being there, so...
38:45So, something happened in the meantime.
38:48Which means something happened?
38:50With your heart.
38:51Well...
38:53I just feel like I can't see you anymore.
38:58It's emotional for me because, you know, I really like you.
39:12But then, you know, I have...
39:16My daughter's father, you know, like, you know, I care about him.
39:23I have love for him.
39:24You know, I love him.
39:26I do believe in being transparent, and honest, and true to myself, for one.
39:32And I don't want to, I won't lie to you, so...
39:40Yeah, I'm, I'm, let's say, I understand your situation.
39:45I knew that the breakup would be tough on me.
39:49I'm so sorry.
39:51But Martin seems to be handling it better than I anticipated.
39:55Not everyone is an emotional type of person, you know, and that's okay.
39:59So, he's handling it well.
40:01I am so sorry.
40:04I am sad to end things with Martin, but I do want the best for him.
40:11And I can now focus 100% on Cedric and moving forward.
40:19So, who's paying?
40:20I would, I would do.
40:22I would do.
40:23Okay.
40:24Yeah.
40:25All right.
40:27See ya.
40:28What's...
40:35Next on Bell Collective.
40:36It's now going on five years since my son's life was taken.
40:41I lost my second brother.
40:43It was like I never woke up from that nightmare.
40:48I talked to him that night.
40:51So, when you leave, it upsets me when I don't know where you're at.
40:55In the traditional father marriage, people are used to the little wife who dotes.
41:00I'm not that doting.
41:02I know you got a lot on your plate, but I think I expect just a little bit more effort.
41:06But it's like, it's only so much time in a day.
41:08I am throwing a pool party.
41:10Oh!
41:11Have you ever been attracted to someone in the group?
41:14Glenn.
41:15I'm attracted to my wife.
41:17This bull .
41:18I saw the DM.
41:19The man kept me.
41:20What you mean?
41:21I saw the DM.
41:22I saw the DM.
41:23You know who the I am?
41:24You bitch!
41:25You bitch!
41:26You bitch!
41:27You bitch!
41:28You bitch!
41:29You bitch!
41:30You bitch!
41:31How do you enjoy it?
41:32How do you enjoy it?
41:34So have you been to bleiben?
41:35It was a great part of it.
41:36You click the DM for my message, that's the DM.
41:39You don't have to wait to live.
41:42You don't have to wait for it.
41:44You know.
41:46You are.
41:48Anybody can 없어요 and leave.
41:51There are so many people.
