Dating is fun.
I think you should try to date as many guys as you can.
Baby, it's my time, I look freaking hot.
Grand mama's got you.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
How about coming home
with other woman's name strapped to your keys.
And I don't know how your car got back here in the morning.
I'm not taking this.
Can I sleep here?
Yeah I mean you can sleep here.
Chantel came over
and then she asked to spend the night.
Yeah I'm gonna stop by Pedro's place, this is,
see what's going on. I'm going with you.
Alright.
River told me that Chantel came over to his place last night.
She was upset, but she wouldn't say why.
I think it's time for me to pay mi hijo a visit.
Hello man. Hola.
If I find out that Pedro is mistreating Chantel,
Pedro just might be getting his little ass kicked, right Thomas?
That's right.
Now what's been going on man?
Oh OK. Oh OK.
Well it sounds good.
Do you have anything to drink man?
Oh OK hey, that's good too, isn't it. I'm always...
Would you like something to drink? No thank you.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
Oh I see. I see.
Man Pedro, Chantel she came over last night man.
I see her that upset, you know what I mean,
because she didn't wanna talk about it, you know?
That's why we wanted to come and talk to you about it,
because she didn't wanna talk about it.
It looks pretty clean to me, I mean.
It doesn't look like it's all that dirty, so.
So you feel like when she was in school,
you were kind of, you know, put her first,
and you let her do her thing.
And you was kept the house clean and stuff but now...
So you're thinking right now it's your turn
and you expected her kind of like...
Chantel's not you, she's not going to do it the way you did it.
Chantel might not you know, I don't think she's that domestic.
But that doesn't mean it can't get done.
Come on into the 2022's,
nowadays all the women do not just commit themselves
to house cleaning and cooking.
Did you marry a woman or did you want to marry a robot,
a maid robot?
I think Chantel and Pedro are having communication breakdowns.
They still need to learn what it is to be as one in a marriage.
If Pedro was here in the United States,
Chantel and Pedro might have dated for two or three years
before they got married.
Right and they might have been able to knock all those kinks out.
Would you be against a maid, would you be against that?
That's what I was thinking. Like a maid.
Because you've got five bedrooms and four banos.
Mama no, mama no. Let's see what he has to say.
A part of me wished that I was alone you know,
I could just talk to him, just, you know,
we could talk just as guys, you know as friends.
My mother being here was, you know,
I thought he would have revealed a lot more to me.
There's always three sides to the story,
yours, mine and the truth.
But that is taking care of her family.
There are new ways of taking care of your family these days.
You stuck in the dark ages.
I'm quite sure you can find some compromise.
Yeah, yeah I know because I remember
you were laying on your belly playing a video game, I remember.
You know it.
Yeah.
Look at this big old house she got for you.
I think...
(LAUGHING)
..has earned the right to be a little lazy and hire a maid.
We had the house together, OK?
Well together you're gonna hire a maid.
OK?
Well let's see we'll probably head out of here man.
I think they do need some marriage counselling.
Or they could talk to Karen and myself.
Yeah I think they need to talk to somebody like us,
for some advice.
Because nobody and I mean nobody goes through a relationship
that doesn't have challenges.
What matters is how do you deal with that?
You can't sit back and do nothing in a marriage.
Right, and that's the key to anything,
you have to be willing to work it out.
Yes.
I'm coming back to Nicole's office to see her again
after my meeting with Coraima.
I hope it works out a little bit better than the first time.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
Nicole doesn't like surprises, but I'm not going to give up.
I'm showing up at her job because I cannot go to her house,
due to Lidia.
So I will attempt to wait for her outside of her office.
It's love between us,
and I really hope that I can marry Nicole one day.
I'm gonna fight for this relationship.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
2 00:16:39.080 -- 00:16:42.960 align:middle line:90% position:50% A relationship is like a flower,
you have to water the flower, give this flower some sun.
So it's hard work, you know, but it can be done.
After I spent the night at River's house,
I had to get up and go to work.
So Pedro hasn't spoken to me all day.
It's not unusual, by the way,
for us to not speak for an entire day.
So that's not unusual,
but I know that we're gonna have to talk about last night.
You treat me like I'm annoying.
It doesn't matter because I'm sick and tired of your ass.
You don't love me.
You don't. You don't. You don't. You don't, just say it.
Just say it.
And I'm dreading it.
I left because I wanted to get out of the situation
so I could just have somewhere to sleep.
But I didn't wanna sleep in that bed
because the bed, felt like it was on fire.
It's like you can't sleep
because it feels like it's literally on fire.
I'm making you dinner, just like you love it.
Because I wanted to get away from you.
Because you're mean.
Yes.
I'm still making you a pizza.
I'm happy that you finally had a meaningful conversation
with my mum.
You've been having meaningful conversations
with everybody but me.
I ask you how you're doing, you say, how do you think I'm doing?
I'm doing the same thing I do every day.
Mean.
You can talk to your co-workers with respect.
When you bring the respect in the table,
don't coming with that bull (BLEEP) OK?
Have I said a curse word to you today?
No, no, no. I say (BLEEP) OK.
Have I said a curse word to you today?
No, no, no, no. Talk to me from a place of love.
Have I imagined the man that you were for so long,
and overlook who you really were?
Have I imagined that you were loving and kind
and treated me like a queen?
When did I get to the point
where my husband comes home at three in the morning
and I don't know where he's been?
Is it because you got everything that you could get from me,
and now, I've run dry?
You got your visa, you got your money,
you got your job and you're ready to fly the coop?
On top of that, you're mean.
Don't play me.
I don't care.
OK, and who is, whose sparkly bottle is this,
it's not mine?
Whose sparkly bottle is this Pedro?
Whose, whose is this, it's not (BLEEP) mine.
You're leaving items in the house that don't belong to me.
When I ask you where you're going,
you're telling me is none of my business.
And you're coming home drunk.
And you're leaving your car places.
One night I was off work, the entire day, cleaned the house,
and start to cook
and I called you at 8:30 to ask you where you were.
And you were in the mall with Antonella.
You're picking her up and taking her to work,
and you're picking her, you're taking her... Yeah.
..from the car mechanic. Yeah.
You're basically her do boy, and you're at her every whim.
You're just leaving it to my imagination to run wild Pedro.
Are you cheating on me?
I am your wife and I need to know where you're going,
and "none of your business" is not an answer.
2 00:23:08.040 -- 00:23:09.960 align:middle line:75% position:50% My summer was good for the moment,
but I'm ready to see what's out there,
and Atlanta has no shortage of cute guys.
The last time I was single, I was 19 years old.
When I was in my relationship I remember seeing my friends date,
they were having so much fun and going out.
And I never really got a chance to experience that.
Hey. Babe, what's up?
So I'm going on a date today with my friend Chris.
I met Chris on a Christian dating app,
he's from Nigeria.
But he's lived most of his life here in America.
How are you? OK.
When it comes to dating,
I feel like I'm fumbling through everything.
It's so easy to talk to someone that I'm not attracted to
or like in a work setting, cool.
But to talk to the opposite sex who I am attracted to.
I don't know I just lose my words sometimes.
Have a seat. OK.
I've been on a few dates with Chris.
And the energy with Chris is intense.
Chris is hot.
And I like that he is strong, and he appears to be very confident.
I really like that.
So before your surgery did you think you could have done this like?
No way.
The first time I saw you is like, you've really transformed.
I've transformed.
Because you saw me a few, you saw me a month after my surgery.
Oh really? That's when I met you.
Oh wow. Actually.
No you told me you normally do like...
Yeah, when I was younger. I did gymnastics.
..is it gymnastic or cheerleading. And cheerleading.
I want to see you go back to doing that.
Like, for real. Me too. I want to.
I want, my next step is to lose the rest of my weight
and then I'm going to take a gymnastics class.
That should be fun.
Can you like do backflip?
I don't know. I have to go back. I'm a little old now.
You know how to do it before? I did.
So you should be able to do it again.
Because, you know, I think I started doing my own backflip
when I was 11 years old.
And I can still do backflip right now.
Go ahead, show me your backflip.
Really? Right now? Yeah, show me, go ahead.
You said that you could still do it, I want to see it.
So, OK, you have to promise me something.
What is the promise? If I do the backflip, what?
You're going to follow me to the gym?
OK.
OK, pinkie promise. Alright, alright, alright.
OK.
OK Chris.
Can you do it?
I guess.
Wow. OK.
That one is not good enough.
Really?
Now I have to go to the gym with you.
Gym's at five till 7:30.
It's funny we dress alike.
I didn't, when I came in I was so surprised
to see you wearing pink.
Can you tie it for me again?
Just make a bow.
You had a goat in Africa?
Four goats? Yeah.
When you went back how was it?
Were the goats there?
I think it needs to come up higher.
I think it's your legs, like you have to unloosen it,
and pull it up.
Oh wow. Is it hard?
Chris is a very active and physically strong man.
I've been busting my butt in the gym
and I want to be,
show him that I'm active and physically strong too.
You're not even using your feet.
I definitely don't want Chris to look at me
and think of me as being weak.
OK. Yikes.
I just, I don't know,
I hope that I can show my rock climbing skills,
and it's impressive.
OK.
What if I fall though?
Oh!
(BLEEP) Put other leg over there.
I don't know. Why?
I don't know.
OK.
OK. I did it.
OK I'm gonna come down.
You're in that harness
and it's like holding your butt up and it's like.
Yeah.
Like I'm telling you like my behind was always an insecurity for me.
How easy was it?
It was easy.
I'm cautious when it comes to all dates
but Chris is someone
that I'm actually very excited about.
But I'm still getting used to my new body,
getting used to talking to men
in a way of like that I'm interested in you.
I was in a relationship for seven years
and when I was in the relationship,
I didn't wanna have any interaction with like the opposite sex.
I felt guilty, so now, it feels so freeing
like to not have to, you know,
like, I just feel like a big weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
And I'm ready to see what's out there.
This was so much fun, I'm glad that you came with me.
½(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
2 00:38:36.160 -- 00:38:38.920 align:middle line:90% position:50% Pedro and I are not in a good place right now.
We have zero communication, we don't talk.
We see each other in passing and nobody says a thing.
And on top of that, my family members,
River and my Mum,
have been over to talk to Pedro without my permission.
I'm upset with my family
that they came to my house unannounced to talk to my husband.
Hi. What are you doing here unannounced?
I came to see you.
Well you can let me know. I just got off of work.
Sorry.
Why didn't my family come to me first?
That's my thing.
Is River coming? Not that I know of.
OK.
I don't want them to learn anything
that's going to jeopardise their opinion of my husband.
So what are you doing here? I came to chat.
I know that you've already been talking to Pedro.
Yes I have been talking to Pedro. Why?
Well first of all,
did you not leave this house
and spirit over there to your brother's apartment?
Well let me tell you something.
Although you are meaning well you cannot come to my house...
What?
..and talk to my husband about our relationship.
I should have known
but I did not expect that you would do such a thing
after the last time you showed up unannounced.
And why not? What happened the last time?
Because you brought a Taser
and was clicking it all over the place.
Hola Pedro.
Don't hurt yourself.
You should be thanking me.
You're not thanking me now.
Well you should have told me that that's what your plan was
and I would have stopped you.
Well you should be thanking me.
I'm doing my motherly duties.
And my mother-in-law duties.
Why is it that I had to come over here,
in my kimono, to find out what is going on here?
You could have told me.
I'm a little upset about that. Well no, I'm not telling anybody
because I have to make decisions for myself
and I need to figure things out on my own.
He said that he's upset
because he wants you to clean the house
and clean four bathrooms.
And he wants you to cook dinner every day when he gets off work.
And then he said you were lazy.
The boy that plays video games,
twiddling his toes laying around on his belly
called you lazy.
And I think he's lazy.
Listen, I tried to set your husband straight.
Because I don't think it's fair for you to be in that hospital
working like you're working
and then for him to expect for four days that you have off
for you to come here and clean and cook and do this crazy stuff.
It's not fair. It's not fair.
I clean all day at work.
See that what I was saying. You know, Pedro doesn't understand.
I clean bodies.
Right. I clean poopy floors.
And on top of everything, people are dying.
It's a high stress job.
We need to sit down and talk to Pedro
and let him know exactly how it is when you go to work.
That's where we need to set him straight.
Well I don't want you involved.
Why?
Because it's overstepping boundaries.
Boundaries.
I don't know boundaries.
Now that my family is concerned,
I need to get a 30 foot pole
to keep them out of my relationship.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
Well you're gonna learn. You're gonna learn some boundaries.
My parents do have reason to be concerned.
Pedro treats me with all of this hatred,
talking down on me, mocking me and trying to get a rise out of me.
You guys can get over this. This is not even that big a deal.
It's just a misunderstanding on his behalf.
But I don't want them to know that.
At least for now.
(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)
I think this visit was crucial for our relationship.
I think you need to just get to know him again, date him.
And if he's hanging out with these friends at work,
you hang out with these friends at work.
But I might have to put some people in their place.
Hey.
So he came home with his key fob and it had Antonella's name on it.
Antonella, do you see how that could
kind of get, like,
how it could get a rise out of me?
I only want for you to be nice.
So what are you gonna do?
