She make me feel like sometimes I'm less than a man. But you know why she's doing that? She's doing that because you made her feel less than a woman when she lost her child. I wasn't around.

What I'm helping you to do right now, brother, if you really listen to me, is salvage your relationship. I gotta tell you, I know this man can change. If in 15 minutes he could receive what I said and start being probably the most vulnerable he's probably been in the last 12 years with you, But this is just a beginning step. I wish she give me my flowers. But you, it's okay. She's not, she— See, it's always back on, it's always me. Me, me, me. But it makes sense because there's two in the relationship. So I'm not gonna take away from what he's feeling too. That's true, but— It's just that he didn't know. So he's stuck in a narrative. Switch the narrative. She's telling you right now, if you keep saying me, then she's never gonna get back to that place. Now what you could have did right there is said, we should have been talking. Turn that me into us and maybe y'all can grow together. You feel that?
