Social Media Advice - 05.15.25

The crew fills in for Steve Harvey to give some advice to...

• LaCresha - "My ex and I broke up over a year ago, but his mom and I stayed close. Every couple of weeks we meet for coffee, text about books, and she even invited me to her birthday brunch. My ex just found out and flipped, saying I’m crossing a line. But honestly, she feels like family to me, and we never even talk about him. Is it wrong to stay friends with her, or does breaking up with someone mean breaking up with their family too?"
• Manny - "For reasons I don’t quite understand, why the funeral home gave me the ashes of my aunt and now I have no clue what to do with them. I offered them to my mom, my uncle, and my aunt’s kids, and nobody wants them. So, here I am with a box full of my aunt’s ashes. As far as I know, she didn’t have any “final wishes. So, I’ll ask you…what does one do with the ashes of someone they weren’t really all that close to?"
