Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ge On Steve Harvey, FM Wrights.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm twenty three and just finish school with a tech degree,
but landing a job has been harder than I expected.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Right now, I've got.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
A temporary job that pays the bills, but I just
got a full time offer with great pay, double what
I'm making now. The problem is is that it's four
hours away from my girlfriend. We've been together since high
school and I really do see a future with her,
But she can't move right now because she's helping her

(00:31):
parents out, especially since her dad's been sick.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
If I stay, I might miss my shot.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
If I go, I don't know if our relationship will
make it. Do I hold out for something closer or
take the job and risk losing the person that a lot?

Speaker 3 (00:48):
You better go get this dog on job. Boy, it's
man up time right here.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
You can't buy houses and provide for families with just love.
You have a part of your life as a man.
Provision is a huge part of it. M Now, you
stay in town to hold hands all you want, but
that's gonna get going to the movies. But if you

(01:13):
don't start progressing the train up the track, brother, it's
gonna be hard. So at one point in time, you're gonna,
she's gonna. A woman will marry you for security.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
So you're telling him, go get it, go get.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
It, get the job, right, yeah, man, Yeah, you know
many times I have to move for work.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
We all have ye move with you. Yes, we're going,
we're going. We're going.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
We live in New York, we live in Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Right, you gotta do what you gotta do. Yeah, so
that's good advice. All right, Steve, here we go. We
got time for one more. Steve and nephew. Marva on
Steve Harvey FM rights. I've been married, Yah, Marva, all right,
Marvra on Steve HARVEYFM rights. I've been married just under

(02:11):
two years to someone I once thought was my person.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
At first, everything was perfect.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
We had the same goals, the same sense of humor,
the same dreams. But lately I feel like I'm vanishing
inside the relationship. I'm not working right now, and my
husband was okay with that, but now he's grown distant,
even passive, aggressive when I ask.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
For money for the bills. When I think about.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Leaving, I hesitate because he's kind to others, says the
right things in front of friends, and I wonder if
I'm just being ungrateful. I've started emotionally pulling back, but
I don't know if that means it's time to go
or am I giving up too early? How do you
know when your heart is tired for a reason or not.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Not just overwhelmed. So there's a lot in that.

Speaker 5 (03:03):
What do you think? Yeah, that's a lot in that.
You know, Look, I don't.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
M's there's so much information we don't have to help
you deal with that. You know, men are going to
stress about the finances. They're gonna stress about the finances
because that's how he equates.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
That's how he measures his his manhood, his value. We
measure it by our.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Work and what we bring to the table and contribute
to the to the UH, to the relationship.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
Yeah, I'm still guilty of that myself after all these years.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
So he's not going to stop m HM wanting to.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Have a say so in it.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I think what has to happen is he has to
be convinced that you're not going to sink the ship
with your decisions. I think you all got to have
monthly meetings financially to discuss us moving forward what you're doing,
because if you don't. After two years of not discussing it,
all of a sudden you're saying stuff like he's grown
distance and he's checking me. Now, Well, y'all should be

(04:12):
having monthly meetings, and some of this could have been avoided.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
Didn't lose a.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Job, you know, I don't know if she quit because
you said it was okay with it.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
If you got fired, you have no choice.

Speaker 3 (04:20):
When he said okay, it wasn't okay though when he
said it, it would clearly really but I chick forla
or something they got.

Speaker 5 (04:29):
She got to get the job they had down there.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Chick for late now to say my pleasure. More of
today's trigger stories.
