Can Love Survive Without Support?

Big Slick here 👊 Got a story or need advice? Text me now — might make it on Talk Ya Sh!t! 🎙️💯

Ever had someone you love call your dream unrealistic and feel your chest drop? This episode dives deep into what happens when love meets ambition—and one partner doesn’t believe in the other’s vision. We unpack a real listener letter from someone trying to launch a business while their partner keeps saying no, asking the bigger question: Can love survive without support?

In this episode, we talk about what emotional and financial support really look like when the stakes are high. Is your partner protecting you from failure—or holding you back from growth? We explore how to separate your identity from your ideas, how to respond to criticism without taking it personal, and how to tell the difference between constructive feedback and control.

You’ll learn practical steps to test your business dreams with low risk—like pilot launches, preorders, and service trials—plus communication tools that rebuild trust and respect at home. We’ll also discuss the signs your partner’s “concern” is rooted in fear or insecurity, and how to stand firm in your purpose without losing love in the process.

If you’ve ever felt small around someone who should make you feel seen, this episode is for you. Tap play for honest talk about love, ambition, and self-worth, and how to know when support is real—or just lip service.

SPEAKER_00 (00:15):
What up, what up, what up, what up?
It's your boy, Big Slick, andwelcome to another episode of
Talk Your Shit.
But first, before we even getinto it, I want to give a shout
out to all the listeners.
Whether you at home, at work, inyour car, or the truck drivers
on the road, I appreciate youtuning in.

(00:38):
Listen, we got another greatepisode for today.
We're gonna jump right into it.
But first, let me tell you whatI'm gonna do.
We got another letter in.
I'm gonna read the letter, thenI'm gonna give you my honest,
uncut, unfiltered, raw opinionbecause that's the only thing I
know how to do.

(00:59):
You know what I'm saying?
Is talk my shit.
So let's jump right into it.
When your partner doesn'tsupport your dreams, I'm trying
to start my own business, but mypartner keeps saying it's
unrealistic.
I love them, but I'm starting tofeel small.
Can love survive withoutsupport?

(01:21):
It's a good question.
Let's jump right into it.
So you're trying to start yourown business, and your partner
is saying it's unrealistic.
First of all, if you got apartner, that's exactly how
they're supposed to act likeyour partner, you know.
I'm saying that's supposed to beyour ride or die.

(01:41):
That's supposed to be the personthat's with you, you know.
I'm saying, yes, the personsupposed to support you.
Because if not, why are you evenwasting time with this person?
What are you even doing there ifyou're not supporting my dreams?
And why are you shooting itdown?
Why are you a dream killersaying it's unrealistic, right?
Like, what makes you start inthe small your you having your

(02:06):
own business?
What's so unrealistic aboutthat?
You know, what's what's wrongwith that?
You know, if you got a partner,your partner's supposed to be
there to support you and to holdyou down.
Now, let's ask yourself is yourpartner being truthful with you,
or your partner is just hatingon your idea?

(02:29):
Is your business ideaunrealistic or not?
This says you just you want tostart your own business.
So is the idea of starting yourown business is unrealistic, or
what you doing with thatbusiness?
What is the business?

(02:50):
Is the business is the businessitself unrealistic?
Not the idea of you having yourown business, but what is the
business?
What are you doing?
You know, you you selling goats.
I don't know what what are youdoing?
Maybe that's unrealistic.
I'm trying to see in a letterwhich which one it is.
So I'm just gonna go with this.
Just the idea of you startingyour own business is

(03:12):
unrealistic.
And if your partner can'tsupport the idea of you starting
your own business, then you needto cut this partner out and keep
it moving, you know.
It it it makes no sense to bewith somebody that doesn't
support your dreams, and youknow, I know a lot of times when

(03:33):
somebody starts their ownbusiness or have business ideas,
the best thing is is to keepyour ideas to yourself, but
that's when you're dealing withoutside people because a lot of
outside people hate and shootdown your dream before you even
start.
But when you're dealing withyour partner, that's supposed to
be if that's the only personthat supports your dream, then

(03:58):
that person that should be thatperson.
It's like if you don't got yourpartners to support you, who the
hell else you got?
Right?
That's supposed to be yournumber one fan, man.
If you're rocking out withsomebody, that person supposed
to be your number one fan, andif they not, then you need to
kick that person to the curb andbe with somebody that actually

(04:20):
supports something you want todo.
Because if not, it makes nosense to even to to to even be
with that person.
Now you say, I love them, butyou starting to feel small.
So you having love for somebodythat's making you feel small,
don't even go together.
That's an oxymoron.

(04:41):
Well, why you should you shouldfeel big, you should feel
fulfilled, right?
That's how your partner issupposed to make you feel.
Your partner never supposed tomake you feel small or or
diminish your ideas or say stufflike it's unrealistic or you
know, make you feel stupid orsomething like that.

(05:02):
That's not what a partner issupposed to do.
They supposed to uplift you,right?
They supposed to support whatyou're what you're doing, you
know.
It don't supposed to be likeyou're feeling small.
So if you're feeling small, thenyou need to keep it moving.
This is not the person you needto be with.
This is not the person, or thisperson might be a hater.

(05:25):
This person might be insecure,right?
It might be now.
You have a you know, you havethis idea of starting your own
business.
This person might be like, Oh,if you start your own business,
you might leave me.
So they might be knocking downthe business idea just to keep
you, you know, where where theywant you at.

(05:46):
They might not want you tosurpass them, but little do they
know if that's your partner,when you shine, they shine.
You're right.
When I shine, you shine.
Y'all know nothing about that,but that's what it's supposed to
be, you know.
When one person shine, the otherperson shine, and that that's
how it's supposed to go, youknow.
I mean, but if if not, then getout that situation, keep it

(06:08):
moving.
If you're feeling small andyou're in a situation, find
another situation where you feellike you're a giant because
that's the way you're supposedto feel if you're with somebody
that you love and they'resupporting you.
That's that's how it's supposedto feel.
And if you do feel small, thatperson's supposed to put you on
their shoulders so you can feeltall.
You know what I mean?
This is big slick.

(06:28):
