Now, tell me a little bit about you.
What do you do for a living?
- I own my own business.
- Nice.
- OK, come on now.
No wonder you got such pretty skin.
- Thank you.
- OK, so I know that you contacted me because you think
that there could potentially be something
going on in your relationship with Brandon.
- Yeah.
- And I'd like to go all the way back to the beginning.
So tell me about that. How did you two meet?
- Well, we started off as friends first.
- How long were you guys friends?
- I want to say for about two years.
- OK.
- It's different when you are dating somebody
and you're looking at somebody for interest versus being,
you know, a friend.
When you're just friends first, it's like you know
everything about you even--
- Yes, because you're very open,
you're talking, y'all are sharing secrets.
Mm-hmm, got it.
- And we've been together for six years now.
- Six years. - Yeah, it's a long time.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- But you know what I love about that,
is a lot of people don't understand
that you have to be friends first.
- Right.
- A lot of people rush right into the relationship part,
then they start learning each other,
then it's like, well, hold up now, child.
I don't really like that. You know what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
- So you guys actually have a good foundation.
- Yeah, he's perfect to be around,
and, you know, we both have kids.
I have a daughter. He has a daughter.
- Oh, nice. - They're very close.
- And you had your daughter before you got with Brandon.
And he had-- - Yeah.
- OK, so you guys are a blended family.
- Yeah, we're blended family, so we're all very close.
- Nice, now, do you feel like you're gonna spend the rest
of your life with Brandon?
- I feel like I could.
If I look at it just from a family dynamic,
I could say yes because, like, this person
has seen my child grow.
I don't want to just-- it'll be a lot,
you know, and I just don't--
I don't want to waste my time with the wrong person.
- Totally get this mentality.
I am here with you.
- Yeah, but then at the same time, we--
well, when we were friends, he always knew I'm bisexual.
- OK.
- So we have fun, and then, you know,
if we're out, if we find a girl and it's spontaneous,
and it's one thing leads to another.
- I am so, like, really and truly--
I be, like, so interested in this
because I'm not a person that would have a threesome,
or introduce anybody into my relationship.
So I really want to know how that conversation went.
- Going into a relationship with me, he knew
that would be a part of myself that wasn't gonna change.
I'm always gonna be attracted to women.
- Oh, so he understood that.
So from your standpoint, it's like,
even if I'm with a man,
I'm gonna be over here too a little bit
every now and again.
- Yeah, he was just always aware
that I would be open to that.
- Was the aspect of having other people
in your relationship introduced,
or did that come down the line?
- No, that was down the line.
You know, we were with each other
for about two years, and then it's like, OK.
You know, we go to clubs, and I'm like,
you know, we talk about girls, and it's just--
it was the first time it was spontaneous.
- So you guys are in the club. - Yes.
- And you see somebody. - Mm-hmm.
- And you're like she's cute, and he's like, mm-hmm, she is.
So you go up to this girl.
- Yes. - And say what?
- Ask her how she's doing, would you like to come
to my table and hang out?
You know, would you like a drink?
- So what, now she comes over to the table and you're like,
so this is my dude, boo-boo.
- Mm-hmm, and you know, the girl's flirting back,
and you just feed off energy, you know.
- OK. - But we have boundaries.
- OK.
- We had certain rules set into place.
- What were the rules?
- I'm the one that picks the girl.
- OK.
- You know, I'm picking the partner.
It's not, he gets to go out and do whatever he wants to do.
It's not him venturing off.
I think, if we're doing something in the moment,
it's that moment.
It doesn't mean that later, he's gonna take this person's
number and call them later.
He likes it. - OK.
- A little bit too much.
- Oh. - Well, I don't like that.
- What I'm gathering is that you
feel a little insecure now.
- Right. - Because he's gone past you.
He's gone around you and is now out and about,
flirting, engaging, interacting with other women
that you didn't specifically choose.
- Right, and I went through his phone,
and I found him, like, being flirty on Instagram,
commenting on girls' photos.
- Well, maybe he was scouting for y'all.
- He ain't supposed to do the scouting.
I'm the one that's supposed to do it.
We made that very clear from the beginning.
- So let me ask you this.
Are there any intimacy issues?
- He likes to be intimate all the time, and right now,
we're not engaging in anything right now
because we're not good, and I just--you know.
- And how long has this withholding
of the goodies been?
- Ha!
Uh, for a while.
I think that we need to fix the trust
because if I can't fully trust you,
it's just-- it's not gonna happen.
His work hours have a lot to do with it too.
- What does he do for a living?
- He is a video editor.
Sometimes, he does stay overnight because sometimes,
he'll sleep there.
It looks funny, and me, I'm home with the kids.
It's two girls.
I can't just go, and pop up on you,
and see what you're doing.
- Mm, mm, mm. - Yeah.
- I just feel like I don't know.
If the relationship started off as monogamous,
that is what most women want.
- Right. - Period.
Somebody that's into them, don't want nobody else.
You chose the opposite. - Yeah.
- And it was you that brought this into your relationship.
- Yeah.
- So now you've introduced him into something
that now it's taken a turn that you don't like,
but you don't think that there's anyone in particular.
- No.
He's just very flirty out there, and he just--
he likes to be intimate.
- Now, do you see women outside of him on your own?
- No.
- OK, so everything's always as a collective.
- Yeah. - Got it, OK.
So what is it that you would like for me to do?
- I just want to see if he's actually
out doing what I think he might be doing or not.
I do want to work it out because we just have so much
that we've built together.
- If you want me to take this case, I will.
The way the process works is, I get my investigation team
to start surveilling Brandon.
- OK.
- And then, I just need you to act regular
and let him do whatever he's doing.
Allow my team to watch and see what's going on
so that we can give you some clarity and some truth.
- OK. - OK?
Now, appreciate you coming through.

- There are three types of connection that people have.
There's the physical connection.
There's the mental connection,

And what people try to do is, they think that,
once I introduce the physical connection,
then either the mental or the emotional connection
won't be enacted because it's just physical.
And so now that we're connected physically many times,
the emotional part of us kicks in as a result
of this physical connection we have,
now, which people try to separate it all the time.

You know, six years, a lot of things change.
Things you agree on when you're 22 years old
is not the same [bleep].
- So you should've cut it off.
- Why didn't you have a conversation with her
so that you guys could make adjustments?
- Me trying to have the conversation,
this is where it leads to.
You got to give me time to be able
to express or show my actions.
Like, this was a conversation
I was getting ready to have with her.
- You full of [bleep].
You full of [bleep] because I told you
we should've had this conversation with her
a long [bleep] time ago.
And you're the one who kept saying,
let's wait, let's wait, let's wait.
- Because look how it's [bleep] going!
- Well, I'm going about it this way 'cause you keep lying!
It's not just her.
- I'm only speaking to Tami from here on out.
- We ain't doing that. It's not gonna go nowhere.
This conversation not gonna go nowhere
cause you see what I'm saying, he thinks it's a joke.
It's not a joke.
- No, I don't think he's joking.
If you were going to step outside of your arrangement,
why do it with someone who's her close friend?
- This is where things went wrong.
You can do whatever the [bleep] you want to do.
You can talk to girls.
You can go in any woman's DM that you want to be in.
She gets to explore all of her desires.
- We agreed to that though. - Well, wait.
Let him finish. - This is real.
- So that you can hear. - This is real.
- Go ahead. - Continue.
- When we first got into this relationship,
I said, do you think that you're gonna go the rest
of your life without sleeping with another woman?
She said no, so I said, boom, I'm with it then,
if that's what you feel you got to do
because for something to work long term,
you've got to be able to be yourself.
- Let me ask you a question. Are you in love with her?
Period.
- In love, no, I love her.
- Tell her how you say you in love with me
and you want to be with me.
- What I said was, if we bring the truth to her,
and she's not with it that, yes, if we split up,
I can see a possibility of a future with you.
Did I not?
- That's not what you said. - Keep it a hund--
- Listen, let me ask you something.
So if I would have went up to you and I would have said,
"Yo, are you [bleep] my friend?"
You was gonna tell me truth?
- I [bleep] her with you.
The problem is, I [bleep] her without you too.
You want the truth? That's the [bleep] truth.
The only thing that I did wrong was,
I didn't go about it by just being a hundred
because I'm trying to protect my [bleep] feelings.
- The same way you come over here
and you hiding behind her back,
she's doing the same [bleep] to you.
- My [bleep] point.
- [bleep] this [bleep], bro.
- I have to agree with you on that.
When you introduce something like that
into your relationship, you can't manage
how somebody is gonna maneuver within the scenario
that you set up.
- Where are you? Hey, I know you're upset.
What are you feeling right now?
- [crying] I'm disappointed.
- Does she have a reason to be upset in your eyes?
- Yeah, I know she's mad at me right now.
I mean, I've known her since we was little, so...
We never even argued before.
- And that's why you're hurt?
- Yeah.
And now I'ma [bleep] lose my friend
over this [bleep] bozo.
- So you still have love for Emily?
- I always will.
- When she came into the office,
I did say to her,
you introduced something, a la Pandora's box.
- Mm-hmm.
- And now you're not happy with the outcome.
We surveilled you.
We saw you with Jojo, but then, much to my surprise,
we saw her with Jojo.

The reason I'm asking you that
is because when we watched the footage of you guys, right?
She was upset, but she was more hurt by you.

Literally the only reason I'm still [bleep] with Brandon
is because of you.

so I'm trying to make it so that we
all three can be together.

- Emily.
- Hey, Tami. How are you?
- I am doing well.
Now, listen, it has been a minute
since we last saw each other, so I wanted to check in.
How is life?
Are you still with Brandon?
- Well, no, we're not together,
but we still co-parent for the kids.
The dynamic hasn't really changed
that much in their eyes because he's
always been working a lot.
So he has his own place where he works and where he stays,
so, you know, he's up there.
So when he wants to spend time with my daughter,
she goes, and then vice versa.
- Oh, well that's good.
You guys are actually handling that very maturely.
I'm happy to hear that. And what about Jojo?
That night, it seemed like you guys had made a decision
where you were gonna be together.
- That is true, but right now, we're taking it slow.
I don't think it'll be beneficial for me
if I just rush into a relationship right now.
I just need to be by myself.
- You know, this moment will speak to a lot of women,
and I commend you for acknowledging,
hey, I got to spend time by myself for myself.
- I know some women are probably intimidated to do so
because they fear being alone.
- Yeah.
- But when you are by yourself,
focus on what you want to do,
focus on--you've got a business,
focus on your business.
And that's something that you want to pursue, do that.
It's more beneficial for yourself.
And then, when you meet somebody,
or you do decide to be with somebody,
you'll be a better version of yourself for yourself
and also for the other person.
- Well, I--look, we can end on that note
because I feel like you got it together.
It may not have gone the way you wanted it to go,
but you did leave with some form of clarity
about where you should go in the future.
- Exactly.
- All right, sweetie, take care.
Bye.
