When jealousy arises in a relationship, oh my gosh, it's not the easiest thing to deal
with in real life, trust me I know.
How it looks in my head is completely different than my actual cool girl response.
But is it jealousy or my insecurity when simple things become so complex?
Complex simplicity.
Yo, how was your day today, babe?
It was alright.
It was alright.
I know you said you were stressing out.
Last week, I had to be stressed out, what was going on?
Nah, I've lost it.
I just don't like to do it.
But he on vacation this week, so, you know, it ain't too much going on.
Wait, so what's going on?
I mean, like, what's your boss got going on with you?
Yeah, it is.
I don't know if it's coffee or, you know.
Okay, so you're not finishing sentences, so who's texting you right now?
Michelle, the new intern from the job.
But why is she texting you?
What do you mean why she texting?
We just have a conversation.
We supposed to do lunch tomorrow.
Like, nope, nope, it's not a big deal.
Okay, so you and I are made conversation and you're telling me that it's cool for the
intern to text you on the mother effing weekend?
It's not really, it's not a big deal.
Are you serious?
Yes!
I'm serious right now.
Yes!
You can't be serious.
Whoever Michelle is, she doesn't need to be texting you at this time of day.
Bro, you didn't finish your sentence.
Who are you texting, sweetheart?
Michelle.
Oh, wait, I think I remember her.
You told me about her, right?
The intern.
Yes, but why did you say intern hesitantly?
No, it's two different shells, but yeah.
Oh, got it, got it, got it.
Okay, what's going on?
Why is she texting you?
Is it an emergency?
No, she's, you know, she's an intern, so she probably wanted all the questions up in
there a while.
Oh, like an informational.
Yeah.
What's going on with you?
How was your day?
Um, it was phenomenal.
Yeah?
Phenomenal.
Oh, good.
Well, so is Michelle, y'all going to say something up?
You should talk to her.
I mean, she can get some great guidance from you.
Yeah, I'm going to talk to her.
And I definitely told her about Frank.
The boss is just, you know, he'll get his coffee and then she'll get his coffee.
Yeah.
Because the intern, the intern, I ain't going to tell him she needs to do it.
Yeah.
Well, maybe we should all sit with her one day.
I want to meet her.
All right, cool.
You want to do lunch tomorrow?
We should.
We'll let her know.
Okay.
I can't wait to meet her.
All right.
I'll tell her now.
Hey, uh, babe.
Who is that?
Who's that?
You don't remember him?
No, I don't remember him.
You don't remember Bray?
No, I don't remember him.
We were all in school together.
Bro, man, you're back in brand new.
I'm back in brand new.
Mm-hmm.
No, his hand is damned on your ass.
That's brand new.
No, it's not.
A few years ago.
Okay.
You're back in brand new.
I'm back in brand new.
Mm-hmm.
No, his hand is damned on your ass.
That's brand new.
No, it's not.
A few years ago.
Okay.
He was in town.
Visiting.
Tell me he was in town.
What else did you not tell me?
What else did you not tell me?
He was.
I told you he was in town.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You didn't say nothing.
You didn't tell me nothing.
Wait.
I told you.
Bray's coming into town.
And we were going to link up.
Do I look, is something funny?
Yeah.
Sweetheart, you're acting.
You look really mad.
Why are you mad?
You are mad.
Why am I mad?
Bray.
Mm-hmm.
Go touch him.
What?
No, no, no, no, no.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Why are you acting like that?
He's in town.
He got your hand right.
I mean, what is that about?
Listen, like that.
We're cool.
I would be cool with you, too.
Okay.
Okay.
That's fine.
I mean, like, this is how you want to carry it?
Is this how we're going right now, Ro?
You good, bray.
You good.
Ro, like, I can't, no.
I told you it was good.
You're good.
Really?
Mm-hmm.
But you won't even let me touch you.
You're good.
Watch TV.
Hey, uh, hey, babe, who was, uh, who was that?
Oh, Bray.
Do you remember Bray from school?
Bray from school.
We were all in class together.
What class?
Entrepreneurship.
He sat in the front?
He did.
You know, he was a little bit of a nerd.
Okay.
Yeah, then y'all used to talk, right?
No, no, no.
We were quiet.
He liked me, but that was it.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
He looked real comfortable.
He still liked me.
Look at him.
Whatever, but I'm with Chubu.
I know.
Damn.
Well, you know he's in town.
We were all linking up later on tonight.
Did you want to come with us?
Um, nah, I would chill here.
I would chill here.
You good?
Yeah.
You sure?
I know you wouldn't want to see you.
Nah, you can hang out with a little guy.
So you could cut up with, you got to cut up with him.
That's not your thing.
All right.
You want to come?
Yeah, I can.
You should come.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
What we both were thinking in our heads isn't necessarily the way you want to respond to
jealousy and your relationship.
If anything, if you have a lot of things going on and you're feeling some sort of way about
it, the first thing I would say, my suggestion at least is communicate, communicate, communicate.
Communication is key and it resolves a lot of things, yeah?
Right.
Right in your head.
Yeah.
And then the second thing is trust.
You can't have a relationship without trust.
You got to trust that you know your partner is doing what he or she is doing and just
have confidence in that.
Yes, I agree.
Yeah, you do?
Mm-hmm.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
Ew.
