Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we go. This is from Tika
in Germantown. Tika says, I have an Instagram account that's private,
and I won't allow my husband or my family to
follow that account. I don't have anything to hide, but
I don't want to hear their comments. When I'm out
with my girls and we post pictures popping bottles and
hanging out with ballers. I always wear my rings, so

(00:24):
there's never any funny business. I think husbands and wives
need to keep something separate. Should I delete my private
account because they think I'm being sneaky?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well, let me ask you this. If your husband had
a private account, how would you feel about it? And
you just said something that I found interesting? When we're
all popping bottles and hanging out with ballers ballers. Now,
the reference that I've always heard ballers used to has
always been to men. I've never heard a group of women.

(00:56):
I'm just hanging out with all these ballers. I've never
heard that come from women before about women. So when
you say we are popping bottles and hanging out with ballers,
but I always wear my ring, that means you are
around men oftentimes. But you think because you got your

(01:16):
ring on it. That don't stop nobody from saying nothing
to you. That don't stop nobody from offering you nothing
because you got a ring on.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
If you're in a section.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Doing what everybody else is doing, DNA, let's do what
everybody else is doing.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
So is this shady?

Speaker 2 (01:32):
One hundred percent? Can you be married and have a
private account? You can until they find out about it,
and they all know you have it because when they
go to it, they can't get in it.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah. Man, it's social media.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's insightful of you to say that you know about
the ballers.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
And if it was the other way around and he
was out with some women popping bottles, having a good time,
I got my way and ring on too, right exactly
with dancers or whatever.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah right, So she should delete her private account, is
what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
I don't know how she don't think it should be there.
She should be allowed because everybody should have privacy. Look,
I think that married people should have things that they
do by themselves.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
Yeah right, think of that.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I think that everybody should have some me time. Everybody
has the right to be themselves. But if it being
yourself infringes on the trust and happiness of your partner.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
What you're doing.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Right, exactly exactly. I'm with you, and you're right all right?
We have time for another one, Steve. This is from
LaToya and Orlando U. LaToya says, I'm dating a guy
that used to be married to a close friend of mine.

Speaker 4 (02:53):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
He wants to keep our relationship quiet for now. I
have no problem telling my friend that I have an
interest in her and we want to date each other.
I don't get how people think they own a person
after they break up.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
He wasn't her soul mate? What if he's mine?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, don't tell her this, gon't tell her? Watch this?
Give it a shot? Yeah, go tell her. Watch this, y'all.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Through girl code.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, come on, go tell her yo.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
And then what are you saying, Steve? If she tells
her and tell.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Her and watch this here? I don't know how people
think they own people. It wasn't her soul mate, It
may be mine. All that all that you're saying, Oh
that's cool, Gon tell.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Her when I was dating him.

Speaker 3 (03:44):
That best friend.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
You're gonna be the reason why they broke up. You
listen to me, Oh so you wanted him the whole time?
That's all she gonna be thinking, and really.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
It sounds yeah. And then he wants to keep it
on the low. He doesn't want the ex to find you.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Already know he'll want that extra smoke, right y'all. I'm
gonna tell you both of y'all tend to get it.

Speaker 5 (04:09):
From the wife, from the ex wife.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
And her friends and family and a bunch of stuff.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't do that. Don't do that.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
As with his friends, hu, all these men in the world.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
You got to go with your friend's ex husband, girl.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
By because because she thinks he might be her soul mate.
All Right, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
