Ashley Nicole
I'm Ashley Nicole.
Sherrelle Rosado
And I am Sherrelle Rosado. And we are the Humble Bad Daddies.
Alexis Stoudemire
Okay, our main topic for today is wife material. Vers versus fun Girl. Debunking the stereotypes about how women are perceived in relationships. Things a wife does versus the things girlfriends do. Okay, what y'all think about that, ladies? Sheesh.
Sherrelle Rosado
My problem was I used to always do what a wife do before I was a wife. And that was a big issue because, I mean, I grew up in a household, and I'm from the south, and, you know, it's just in you. It's just in me. Like, I saw everything that my mom did with my husband. I thought, okay, you in a relationship. Y'all live together, cook, clean. Y'all shacking? We were shacking.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah.
Sherrelle Rosado
I'm doing everything that a wife do. But I'm a girlfriend. That's the issue.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Sherrelle Rosado
And it's never too late to learn and change it up.
Ashley Nicole
So if you get into your next relationship, you just gonna be.
Sherrelle Rosado
You said I was getting into another relationship. I'm not getting in a relationship I don't want to ever.
Ashley Nicole
Like, you're good on it.
Sherrelle Rosado
As of right now, I'm not getting into a relationship.
Ashley Nicole
But that's. That's what, in the future, you might want to.
Sherrelle Rosado
That's what I'm talking about as of right now.
Ashley Nicole
I know.
Sherrelle Rosado
As of right now, but I didn't get into a relationship in the future.
Alexis Stoudemire
Actually, Nicole, Willard, Alexis, I'm enjoying dating right now.
Sherrelle Rosado
Dating is different from being in a relationship.
Alexis Stoudemire
I agree.
Ashley Nicole
100% how will you enter a relationship being that you were married at once? Yes, at one. At one time. Do you feel like you will go into it in the same way that you did in your past relationship? Because I know that you guys were together at a young age, you had babies, y'all were traveling the world, y'all were doing everything together. So I'm sure you were doing those wifely duties before you were actually a wife. Would you do it the same way?
Alexis Stoudemire
So to answer your question first, okay. No.
Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Alexis Stoudemire
But right now I feel like I am really cognitive of taking baby steps. I. In the past of dating, because I've been dating really, I've been divorced for four years, so it's been dating differently.
Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Alexis Stoudemire
At the beginning I was just in that wife mode of catering to, nurturing and just like, I feel like I was overdoing it and.
Sherrelle Rosado
And you don't think that you're doing it.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, exactly. I, I didn't, I wasn't conscious of it. And so now it's like, now I'm more conscious of it. I'm more in a healed space, low key to where I'm acknowledging that and I'm like, you know what, you got to earn a little bit more, Alexis, because it's this essence and it's low key from dating that I learned more about my essence through talking to other men, like just learning that.
Sherrelle Rosado
But do you catch yourself sometimes like doing those wife duties and you like, damn, I'm doing too much. I got to pull back.
Alexis Stoudemire
I do 100%. Like, I feel like you got to earn it and I'm the prize. That's how I feel. I always have the analogy of being like Princess Peach at the Super Mario and Luigi, the Mario Brothers video game. I'm the Princess Peach. That's at the last round, the last stage. And you gotta come go through all these hoops and waves to come get me.
Ashley Nicole
So do you expect for the man to do any husbandly type duties before he's the actual husband?
Alexis Stoudemire
To me, husband like duties would be like paying big bills and providing a lifestyle for me which a lot of women providers.
Ashley Nicole
Exactly. Which a lot of women who are dating.
Alexis Stoudemire
And I would not put that pressure on him.
Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Alexis Stoudemire
At all because, you know, but I.
Sherrelle Rosado
Feel like I have that this generation, they make it easy. Like especially the young athletes, they're paying the bills, they doing every tricking to the fullest. Do you call it tricking or do you call it taking care of?
Alexis Stoudemire
I mean, I guess if you have.
Sherrelle Rosado
Or do you call it hush money.
Alexis Stoudemire
All of the above, I think.
Ashley Nicole
But to me, that's easy. That's the easy thing to do is to give the money.
Alexis Stoudemire
So the bar is low.
Ashley Nicole
So if they're giving the money, though, and they're doing. If you think that that's a husband like quality for somebody to do, do you feel like it's fair for you to hold back on those wifely duties?
Sherrelle Rosado
But see, I feel like with this, with women, we don't look at it like that the way men look at it. Like, we're not, okay, if he's not doing this, I'm not gonna give him out. I'm not going to do this. Or be like a wife. We are naturally submissive, so we're going to do things and not even know it or not realize it that we're doing the things as what a wife does. Because in our natural instinct is to care for and love.
Ashley Nicole
But I feel like a lot of women will feel like if a man is paying for everything that they feel like he's providing, so he's acting like a husband. So maybe I should do my wifely duties now.
Sherrelle Rosado
Oh, no, it's. It's kind of hard because a man can pay for things. I feel like, you know, like there are some men that just give money, Right. They spend no time.
Alexis Stoudemire
They're gifting, they're just gifting.
Sherrelle Rosado
Like, they're just, here's money, but there's no time provided. So how can I give you those type of duties when there's no time? It's just like, here's like, money to go, leave me alone so I can go deal with my other women.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, no, I think there. I think that's the difference. Yeah. Like, I don't think that a woman would just give herself like a wife to a man who's just giving her.
Sherrelle Rosado
Money just being a trick.
Ashley Nicole
But I know a lot of women, especially if that's the motive. But like young women, when you are with a man who has it to give and to take care of you, in a way, it. It does make you want to do those things.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, it's enticing.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
Right.
Ashley Nicole
But it doesn't necessarily mean that he's like trying to be a husband and you should be doing those wife things. And I think that's kind of where I had. Phil had caught me or whatever. Real young bitch.
Sherrelle Rosado
That's why your ass is married.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, but he didn't want to get married.
Sherrelle Rosado
What was his reason?
Ashley Nicole
For not wanting to get married?
Sherrelle Rosado
No, for eventually getting married. Well, what was his reason for not wanting to get married? Did he feel like he was too young?
Ashley Nicole
No, I think he just never had an example of it, and it just wasn't on his mind, like, get married for what? You know what I mean? Like, it wasn't even in his realm of thought. Like, it just wasn't a thing. You know what I mean? But he was doing things that, in my mind, were what a husband does. Like, he was paying for everything. He was taking care of me. And when I say paying for everything, Phil's not the kind of, like, guy that's going to go and splurge and buy me bags and dumb shit, you know? He's not that guy. But he's definitely, like, wrote some big checks for me, like, clear.
Sherrelle Rosado
He pays for you to get out the military?
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Like, so that's what I'm saying. So in my mind, you know, I felt like, oh, he's providing for me.
Sherrelle Rosado
And he let me do this.
Ashley Nicole
But he. He's. He's at home with me. He spends time with me because we're at home, but he just like to be at home, like. And so in my mind, I'm like, oh, he's.
Sherrelle Rosado
But the thing about it is. But you. You could think like that, because a man. If a man don't want to be with you and don't want to take it to that next level, they ain't gonna spend time with you.
Alexis Stoudemire
They're not gonna do it.
Sherrelle Rosado
They're not gonna do it. They're not gonna spend that much money on.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, I wasn't. I mean, I. I knew. I knew he liked me or whatever, right? Like, I knew that, but he. I was thinking. What I'm saying is all that shit he was doing, in my dumbass, young, naive mind, I was like, oh, he trying to be my husband, you know? And that wasn't the fucking case.
Alexis Stoudemire
We're hopeless romantics. We grow up with, like, once upon a time, the prince comes and the princess, and then happily ever after. Like, I'm falling back, though, because I feel like I like to be courted. I like to be. I like to have romance. And I feel like, you know, I give romance, too, but I want that. I want someone to show the initiative. Like, I have to going back to wifely things. I like to cook. I like to. That's one form of, like, my intimacy or love language. So I am ready to go, like, go get groceries. Like, let's stay home and let's cook a meal. I'm like, no, you Gotta earn that. Like, it takes time to get that kind of alexis, you know, just that level of alexis. That's. That's something I cherish. You know what I mean? That I'm feeding you. And so I can't give that off the rip. I don't want to. They have to earn that.
Ashley Nicole
Okay, so as an example, you just wait until you feel comfortable enough to give them that part.
Alexis Stoudemire
Certain levels. Because I think that's even levels of that. Also intimacy. There's levels of that, too. Like, how much are you giving to them? And like. Like lowering the bar of, you know, being, you know, tied up or something. Like, whatever the case may be. Like, those. It's levels to all of that. Just like there's levels to financial presence and things like that. It takes time.
Sherrelle Rosado
I just want to build. It's a balance between both parties. Like, to receive, you have to give. And that's both. And you'll know if that's the person like, okay, I'm going to take it to that next level. I'm going to take it to that next level. And a man know, like, Phil probably knew, like, okay, this is my girl. Even though he didn't want to say it. He was investing. He's investing with you. He was investing, but he just didn't know at that moment. But I. I give my hat off to y'all. Y'all.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah. He invested in. And you know, the returns have been.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, but I just say, like, to younger women, you know what I mean? Like, we don't listen to, like, our parents when they're like, don't shack up. Like, there's a reason for that. They don't want us to give all of that straight point ass too early, you know, And.
Sherrelle Rosado
And I was. Ass Was just shacking up.
Ashley Nicole
Phil and my dad had to have a whole conversation, like, outside. I still don't know what they said to this day, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Like, Phil came over to the house and my dad was like, let me.
Sherrelle Rosado
Talk to you outside, period. And your daddy be serious, too. And whatever.
Ashley Nicole
Whatever Phil said was good. Cause he must have said the right things because we was good. We kept on checking. It was what it. You know what I mean? But it's a reason why, like, our parents say, don't shack because you end up doing things for a man that doesn't deserve it.
Alexis Stoudemire
What do they say? Why buy the cow if the milk is free?
Ashley Nicole
Right?
Alexis Stoudemire
That was. That was something. Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
But I was three and a half, kids shacking up and then we finally got married, but you know.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, same.
Sherrelle Rosado
So I mean, shit, I was married and divorce. Married and then divorce.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah. I mean, I think we should have these conversations more like about what it really feels like to just do too much for a man too early, even if you are in love. I was madly in love with Phil, but I shouldn't have been doing what I was doing. I was.
Sherrelle Rosado
Yeah, we definitely do. I was learning how to cook neck bones at one point. Like calling my mom mama, how you season these neck bones.
Alexis Stoudemire
Oh yeah, you were showing out, huh?
Sherrelle Rosado
I was showing.
Ashley Nicole
I was trying to win him over.
Sherrelle Rosado
I mean he did marry me, but it's like, God damn. Like I'm young, I'm 22 years old.
Alexis Stoudemire
Why the hell are we doing? We were doing the most full time.
Sherrelle Rosado
Job, active duty and still trying to do all this and I don't have a ring on my desk.
Alexis Stoudemire
Very, very grown.
Sherrelle Rosado
Yeah, yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
I, I, I just think that it's comes the time and a place for it. I think because of social media, we're seeing the romance, we're seeing the cars for the birthdays, we're seeing the big things, the roses. And it's just becoming very competitive.
Ashley Nicole
It's very performative.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's very performative. Yeah. So I think that's kind of altered it too. But just being single and dating, I feel like it's a competition because there's so many options. So everyone is doing their backflips and their cartwheels and they bringing out their best tricks and they, they neck.
Sherrelle Rosado
You know, I think, and I think that's to go back to your question, Ashley, why I don't want to get in a relationship. I have been in relationships my whole life. I haven't had a chance to see what Sherrelle wants. Like to learn me. To know what? Like to actually go out and date. And date. It's okay to date. I think people have, have the problem of dating as, oh, you got to sleep, you don't have to sleep. Learn who you are, learn what you like. Change the type of men that you attract.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yes.
Sherrelle Rosado
Because we have a problem where we are attracting the wrong type of things.
Alexis Stoudemire
I agree.
Ashley Nicole
Right.
Sherrelle Rosado
So I need to learn what I really like and who I am. So that's, I don't see myself getting into a relationship right now. Like I wanna, I want to learn me. I'm in a different era now.
Alexis Stoudemire
I congratulate you on that because you have to take time, you have to take time for yourself. We give so much, we have children. We have other people that depend on us for so much. You. We have to give back to ourselves. I had that time.
Sherrelle Rosado
And the problem with me is, no matter how much I say, you know, I'll change, and, you know, I don't want to give the wife duties, I'm going to instantly fall because I'm a mother, I'm a nurturer.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's right.
Sherrelle Rosado
So I'm instantly falling into that role of giving those wifely duties. It's. It's. But it's.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's just in your nature.
Sherrelle Rosado
It's just who you are. Yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
So I just. I think it's smart of you to really take that time, find out what you want, who you want, because then it will be easy for you to let that guard down and to be who you really are and not have to hold back everything that you are that makes you so great. And whoever you end up with is gonna be able to appreciate it even more.
Alexis Stoudemire
But date them all, sis. Date them all. I'm just gonna put that out there. Date them all.
Ashley Nicole
Okay. I'm living through y'all. Okay. So call me. I'm gonna be texting y'all when y'all at the dates. You know, if it's a, like, girl, this is.
Alexis Stoudemire
But it's. The good thing is you can go home. I like it. Cause I can go home to my bed. I can go home to my kids. Like, I can go home if I don't want to deal with something. I'm like, I'm out of here. And that's because I don't have to.
Sherrelle Rosado
Date them no more peacefully at night.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yes.
Sherrelle Rosado
Snoring, slobbing out the mouth. I know that. All of that.
Alexis Stoudemire
All of that. Yes.
Ashley Nicole
I love that y'all.
Sherrelle Rosado
This how me and Ashley is. Don't take it. Don't take it serious. Me and Ashley, Yes.
Alexis Stoudemire
Very close. We'll be going back and forth.
Sherrelle Rosado
We get petty with each other. Well. But it's all love, so don't take it serious.
Ashley Nicole
It's all love. Don't y'all be in the comments. Time out.
Sherrelle Rosado
Uh, what is that? Gay and the shade. We are talking.
Ashley Nicole
Absolutely.
Alexis Stoudemire
Love you.
Ashley Nicole
I love you, too. Always. That's a good love.
Alexis Stoudemire
Love it. Love it.
Sherrelle Rosado
But, yes, I love it. I love it, though. And I talk to my daughter about it, too. I tell her, don't give it all because she's in love. Obsessed with this Tyler. I love Tyler to death. He just signed a Georgia Bulldog. But they've been to. Been lovebirds since Sixth grade.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah, sixth grade. Six Lockdown is sixth grade. It's cute. It is cute.
Ashley Nicole
They need to go and, you know, let them.
Alexis Stoudemire
The goal is to stay together and.
Ashley Nicole
Then maybe they'll come back together.
Sherrelle Rosado
Yes. I'm like, go out and, you know, go experience college. Have fun. You gonna meet.
Alexis Stoudemire
I said that with a Ray. She's been with Joey for a couple years now, since high school. It's her first boyfriend, everything. So it's like, I'm like, y'all in college. Y'all don't wanna date it, try it or whatever. But, like, low key. His parents are still together. They met at, like, 19, 20. And then obviously her dad and I met at 19.
Sherrelle Rosado
But the thing about it is, do you think people get curious? Like, damn, what if I was able to date a little bit more?
Alexis Stoudemire
I think they get comfortable and not curious.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Sherrelle Rosado
I think you just have to spice it up. A lot of people who've been in relationships a long time, if you're not like, that's why I respect your relationship. Because it's not. Y'all just don't check the box in your relationship. Like, you still have your girl time. It's balance there.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Sherrelle Rosado
Like, you still have your girl time. You go out, feel, have his God, God time, and y'all bring it back together. Y'all still spice it up. I think in a lot of relationships that you see that have been together a long time, it's like, you can tell. It's like they look at each other and roll their eyes.
Alexis Stoudemire
They don't want to be there. Yeah, yeah, that's real.
Ashley Nicole
Phil be getting on my nerves. And then I just call y'all, and I'd be like, can we go out?
Sherrelle Rosado
And then you be like, I'm going home.
Alexis Stoudemire
After. After bringing him some food back too, you know?
Sherrelle Rosado
You know? You know, let me order my man some food.
Ashley Nicole
I already know y'all be reminding me, don't forget to order your man.
Alexis Stoudemire
We got you, sis. We got you all the time.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Alexis Stoudemire
See, look at us. The nurturers. And us is like, don't forget.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, we got y. Y'all make sure.
Sherrelle Rosado
I live it, though. We live it through you, Ashley.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's right. You're a go.
Ashley Nicole
Don't live through me. I'm living through y'all.
Sherrelle Rosado
No, you can live through. You can live through us, and we live through you. Ain't nothing wrong. Balance.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's balance.
Ashley Nicole
Balance.
Alexis Stoudemire
We want us to having that beautiful relationship that stands the testimony. Thank you. Absolutely.
Sherrelle Rosado
That's the goal for sure. Especially with black families.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's right, sis.
Sherrelle Rosado
You don't see that a lot. So that's what I love. You have two boys.
Ashley Nicole
Y'all pray for us.
Sherrelle Rosado
It ain't going nowhere. Cause I can't see you with nobody else. And I can't see Phil with nobody.
Alexis Stoudemire
Supportive prayer.
Ashley Nicole
Yes.
Alexis Stoudemire
Protection prayer.
Ashley Nicole
If something happened, I'mma be in jail. I'mma be up under the jail. Up under the jail.
Sherrelle Rosado
We ain't even going to speak like that because ain't nothing happening.
Ashley Nicole
It's okay. No facts.
Sherrelle Rosado
All right, ladies. I have something new for the humble baddie. Ooh.
Ashley Nicole
What you got for us?
Sherrelle Rosado
It's called rail Red flag.
Ashley Nicole
Rail, red flag.
Sherrelle Rosado
Rail red flag.
Ashley Nicole
Oh, I love it.
Alexis Stoudemire
So tell us more.
Sherrelle Rosado
The thing about rail red flags is I'm gonna give you guys scenarios, okay? And you tell me if it's a red flag, green flag, or you just haul ass.
Ashley Nicole
Okay?
Alexis Stoudemire
Ooh.
Sherrelle Rosado
I mean, I ain't even.
Alexis Stoudemire
Forget the flag.
Sherrelle Rosado
Forget the flag. I'm hauling ass.
Ashley Nicole
Okay.
Sherrelle Rosado
All right. Y'all ready?
Alexis Stoudemire
Yes.
Sherrelle Rosado
The first one is he still texts his ex happy birthday every year. Red flag.
Ashley Nicole
Holla ass. Holla ass.
Sherrelle Rosado
Holla ass. Call the fuck ass.
Alexis Stoudemire
She's leaving.
Sherrelle Rosado
He can't text his happy birthday.
Ashley Nicole
Why the fuck is he texting his ex? Why did he still have her phone number?
Sherrelle Rosado
Why do you still know her birthday?
Ashley Nicole
Exactly. Why Is it that bad?
Alexis Stoudemire
Was it that bad?
Ashley Nicole
I don't give a fuck if it was good as fuck.
Sherrelle Rosado
I don't care.
Ashley Nicole
Exactly.
Sherrelle Rosado
You should be an ex for a reason. Yeah, you an ex for reason.
Ashley Nicole
You would be okay with your man texting his ex happy birthday?
Alexis Stoudemire
I'm not mad at it.
Sherrelle Rosado
I don't believe that, Lex.
Alexis Stoudemire
I'm not mad at it. I don't need a text from my ex.
Sherrelle Rosado
So your man is texting his ex every year? Specifically.
Alexis Stoudemire
If I. If I know. I mean, but you don't know that. Why does it have to be so, like, cut off ties. Why does it have to be so.
Ashley Nicole
It's not cut off. I don't give a fuck. Y'all could have left on good terms.
Sherrelle Rosado
Because she may think that there's some. Something still there.
Alexis Stoudemire
I think I'm just would be confident.
Ashley Nicole
What's the purpose, though?
Sherrelle Rosado
It ain't about confidence. It's about respect.
Alexis Stoudemire
It doesn't bother me.
Ashley Nicole
So every year he makes sure he send her happy birthday, for example.
Sherrelle Rosado
And he forget. He forget. One year to send your ex happy birthday.
Alexis Stoudemire
I would hope that. Like my ex, for example. I would hope that his lady would be like, make sure you show her she ain't. But I'm just saying.
Sherrelle Rosado
When was your birthday? When is your birthday, Lex?
Alexis Stoudemire
February.
Ashley Nicole
Y'all have kids together.
Sherrelle Rosado
It's coming up.
Ashley Nicole
I guess I get that.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's what I. That's what I'm thinking.
Ashley Nicole
But I think it's a way to go about it. Like, if I had children with somebody and I wasn't with them anymore, I would just, like, give them.
Sherrelle Rosado
I would tell my son, card. Yeah, here, make sure you go. Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
I wouldn't do it personally. I would do it through them because that's how we're connected.
Alexis Stoudemire
I get it.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah. Okay.
Alexis Stoudemire
Okay. That's just my opinion.
Ashley Nicole
But, you know, I. I just don't believe you.
Sherrelle Rosado
I think you just saying. Saying you would do it just because. You just saying.
Ashley Nicole
I'm not saying it just because.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's just. I don't think. Yeah, y'all know me. I'm not holding grudges and all that kind of shit. Like, it's just a test.
Sherrelle Rosado
You was just talking about the other day last time. Oh, he did not introduce me to his new girl.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yes, I hold up. I should be held at a higher regard, 100%. Just like. Like, just like, even if it's not me being texted happy birthday, it should be my kids sending a gift. You know, he should be initiating that. I 100% think that.
Sherrelle Rosado
But your kids old enough to send their own gift to their mom.
Alexis Stoudemire
They are, but they can get a bigger budget from their father.
Ashley Nicole
Bloop. But I don't know.
Alexis Stoudemire
I'm just saying. I'm just saying. You know what I mean? I know I encourage them, like. I encourage them to, like, do that, you know?
Sherrelle Rosado
I don't know. I can't. I don't let. I love you enough, sis. But I don't agree with you on this one because I wish they would send you. Better not let me find out. That's just me.
Ashley Nicole
I don't. I mean, what do you need a.
Sherrelle Rosado
Happy birthday Text me?
Ashley Nicole
It's like, happy birthday, Texas.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's not sending.
Sherrelle Rosado
Men barely even remember dates.
Alexis Stoudemire
Exactly.
Sherrelle Rosado
No, it ain't exactly. The fact that they're going out their way to send their ex a happy birthday. That's a pro. That's a red flag for me. I'm just saying.
Alexis Stoudemire
Well, what if your birthday is tattooed on them?
Ashley Nicole
That's they problem.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's the reminder. You know what I'm saying?
Sherrelle Rosado
What? His birthday. What you trying to say?
Alexis Stoudemire
I'm just saying, his birthday.
Sherrelle Rosado

Ashley Nicole
Your grandmama was doing it.
Sherrelle Rosado
Not my grandma, but my best friend. Her grandma had condoms in her drawer. And not only condoms, she had a dildo.
Alexis Stoudemire
Oh, yes. Yes, she should.
Sherrelle Rosado
And she was 80 years old.
Alexis Stoudemire
Grandma said she popping 80. But you hear what's going on in those senior communities. They have all the STDs.
Sherrelle Rosado
Yeah, they do.
Alexis Stoudemire

Sherrelle Rosado

All they have to talk about.
Sherrelle Rosado

Alexis Stoudemire
Yes. What do you.
Sherrelle Rosado
It's the truth. It's not funny, but it's the truth.
Ashley Nicole
I don't want to talk about this anymore.
Sherrelle Rosado
I'm just saying, they be busting it wide open.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
Oh, my God.
Sherrelle Rosado
Okay.
Alexis Stoudemire
I hope I am, too.
Sherrelle Rosado
They be having pumps and all.
Ashley Nicole
Oh, my God.
Sherrelle Rosado
You know what a pump is?
Alexis Stoudemire
She don't want to date nobody with that. And at her particular age, how'd she.
Sherrelle Rosado
Know he had one?
Alexis Stoudemire
Because it's prep. You have to pump it to get it right.
Sherrelle Rosado
Wait, wait, wait. Oh, my God.
Ashley Nicole
I don't want to hear no more. Please stop.
Alexis Stoudemire
Some people got it. You know.
Ashley Nicole
Get back to the real man. Please.
Alexis Stoudemire
Please. I'm just saying.
Ashley Nicole
How did we get off on this tangent?
Sherrelle Rosado
Well, you asked.
Alexis Stoudemire
When you get. You know.
Ashley Nicole
You said your grandma was afraid.
Sherrelle Rosado
No, I did not. You asked that question. I just said, oh, that's my grandma's birthday. Pisces are. And then you was like.
Alexis Stoudemire
And I agree.
Sherrelle Rosado
My own.
Alexis Stoudemire
I am.
Sherrelle Rosado
Ashley started this conversation.
Ashley Nicole
Oh, God.
Sherrelle Rosado
Okay, the second one. He follows every Instagram model, but you're nowhere on his face.
Ashley Nicole
Red flag. Flag on the play. Red flag.
Alexis Stoudemire
Horrible.
Ashley Nicole
Red flag. I don't know.
Alexis Stoudemire
Haul ass. Get on out of there. That's horrible.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, I mean, horrible. I wouldn't say I would haul ass, but it's definitely a red flag.
Sherrelle Rosado
I mean, it's.
Alexis Stoudemire
So you would just tell them to switch it up or. Or post more.
Ashley Nicole
I would find a way to say it real cute without telling him what to do. And if he don't catch a hint, then I'm Holland ass.
Sherrelle Rosado
No, you just got to be like, babe, what's the point of following all these Instagram.
Ashley Nicole
I'm not gonna do that because I just. I want you to do what you want to do. I'm gonna let you know, like, ill. I don't really find that attractive. You know what I mean? And then I'm gonna see if you can catch a hint and then switch it up. But if you don't switch it up on your own, then. But I don't like telling men what to do. Like.
Sherrelle Rosado
Right. You should know.
Alexis Stoudemire
You should know.
Sherrelle Rosado
You should know.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, I'm gonna give you a hint on about what I. What we talking about. You know what I mean?
Alexis Stoudemire
But it's like, what if it's like, like in social media right now, it's like, you know, you've heard of soft launch or like the hard line?
Ashley Nicole
Yes.
Sherrelle Rosado
Right?
Ashley Nicole
Yes.
Alexis Stoudemire
So like, if you. We know people that have just like hard launched, like their booze. If he was following all these ladies and then, you know, now all of a sudden, you know, he's posted his lady, then it should, it should change 100%. But if not girl, that don't mean keeping it private.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, I don't.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's not cool. I don't like that.
Ashley Nicole
I. I mean, as long as you could follow who the you want to follow, of course. But if we're like in a for real relationship and you're choosing purposely not to post me, then that's the problem.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's the whole ass.
Sherrelle Rosado
Because anybody can see who you follow. Why the you following them? Yeah, I feel you. Okay, this one is from a female perspective. She refuses to split the bills because she thinks relationships should be traditional where the man should pay all the bills.
Ashley Nicole
Orange flag, almost.
Alexis Stoudemire
Right. That's tough because of the situation. Like, I'm traditional. I Feel like a man should provide majority of the big bills. Will I be paying a couple if something pops off? Absolutely. But I feel like it's your dynamic at the beginning. Like, if you're traditional and you want to stand on that, then stand on it. So to me, it would be a red flag.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, I would say orange. It's not a red. Cuz financials are tricky. You know, money changes, situation changes. So, you know, I feel like you never know, one day you might be down bad and you should be able to be there and pick your man up if need be. So just being like, I'm out if he can't pay the bills is. That's really. That's kind of that.
Sherrelle Rosado
Yeah, it depends on. It's. It depends on the situation. Because I've been in my relationships, we like, of course, the man took care of the majority. Majority of the bills, like the. The big bills, and I took care of the little bills. But if she don't want to split nothing, not even the little groceries in the house.
Ashley Nicole
Yeah.
Sherrelle Rosado
Yeah, that's a red flag for me. That's a red flag because what if, you know, I'm that man and I'm with you and I can't depend on you and now you want to leave me when I'm down and out.
Ashley Nicole
Right.
Sherrelle Rosado
Because I can't hold the ground for like hold. Hold the fork down for like a month or two.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah.
Ashley Nicole
That's why the man's is mad right now, because they feel like the women is just out here taking. Right, Taking. Taking, Taking. Yeah. Okay, well, red flag.
Sherrelle Rosado
Real red flags, you all. Let me know what you guys think. Let us know how we did on Real Red Flags. We cannot wait to hear what you guys have.
Alexis Stoudemire
We read them, we see.
Ashley Nicole

Ashley Nicole
Hi, Amy.
Alexis Stoudemire
And I'm writing you from Dallas. Okay, Dallas, first off, thank you for creating such an amazing podcast.
Ashley Nicole
You're welcome.
Alexis Stoudemire
It feels like the only place I turn to for advice right now. Here's what's been weighing on me. I've been seeing this guy for about eight months, and at first everything seemed great, but lately he's become really possessive. He doesn't let me wear certain clothes, like anything tight or that shows off my body, kind of like Aquarius. And he asked me for my social media passwords multiple times to check if.
Sherrelle Rosado
I'm talking to guys.
Alexis Stoudemire
Wait, that's not the game right now.
Ashley Nicole
Go ahead, focus.
Alexis Stoudemire
It's starting to feel overwhelming, but I can't tell if this is just normal relationship stuff or it's. Or if I'm overthinking.
Sherrelle Rosado
Girl, what the mean you can't. What?
Alexis Stoudemire
Hold on, hold on, hold on. I don't know how to handle this. And I could really use your advice. Is this something I should be worried about or am I reading into it too much? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Sherrelle Rosado
What's her name? Cindy.
Alexis Stoudemire
Amy.
Sherrelle Rosado
Amy. There's nothing to think about. There's nothing to consider. You just need to haul ass. He's given all the red flags. He's controlling, he's possessive, he's a narcissist. You don't have time for that. You have to let that go before it gets worse. Because if he's starting off now like that, it's gonna get even worse. Haul ass.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's.
Sherrelle Rosado
And don't look back. Burn rubber.
Ashley Nicole
I am.
Alexis Stoudemire
What do you think, Ash?
Ashley Nicole
Yeah, I mean, she said it all. She really, you know, diagnosed the out of him.
Sherrelle Rosado
Honestly.
Alexis Stoudemire
She did. She let him have it.
Sherrelle Rosado
She did.
Ashley Nicole
But, you know, I think her already having that feeling in her gut, that intuition like you already know. You just looking for somebody to tell you what you already know. Like you already know. If it already feels off, it's off. It's not right for you. If it doesn't feel comfortable, girl, run. Just.
Sherrelle Rosado
There's no point in saying social media.
Alexis Stoudemire
Early eight months in. I just think he's got something going on. So that's becoming like. Let me see what she got going on. Just. Just because I'm doing the Most.
Sherrelle Rosado
It's controlling 100 and, you know, behind.
Alexis Stoudemire
That's a lot of.
Sherrelle Rosado
When you have controlling, there's more things behind you. It's a domino effect. If you control, you do this. If you do this, you got a quick temper. If you got a quick temper.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yes.
Ashley Nicole
And then if you give into that one thing, then it's going to be something else next week that he's gonna want and control and she can't even be herself.
Alexis Stoudemire
So Amy.
Ashley Nicole
Amy. Holl ass. Get the on.
Alexis Stoudemire
Yeah. Yeah. Not. Not good.
