BREAKING UP AND DIVORCE WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?

Breaking up and divorce what do you expect?

[@denisiecovington7636]

I panicked and was immediately sad when I saw the title. Thank God you two aren't divorcing. I think you are a wonderful family and I'm very happy you together. Stay safe and God bless you all.

[@miriamneal2086]

Me too! I jump to the comments

[@haydeetorres3602]

I got scared. I love this family so much.

[@dalecarver7415]

It’s very sad when people go through a separation or divorce. In saying that, I believe because you’ve built a channel out of family life, you do owe an answer. Doesn’t need to be in detail, but a simple explanation of “we’ve decided for personal reasons, we’re divorcing. And because it’s personal, we would ask our friends that follow us to please let us keep this private with our family”. That would be a proper example. It doesn’t give any detail, but it doesn’t leave dedicated followers hanging! Just my opinion. And this is a great discussion. Thank You for doing this.

[@rubymcgill1147]

I just started watching your channel and I Love how the family conversations have been so real. My brother is married to very wonderful white woman now for 45 years and the love they share as I see your family is about LOVE nothing to do with race. Thank God you have raised such respectful and knowledgeable Beautiful children, keep sharing with God as your focus.

[@Hamwiltref]

Bless your heart, Ruby! Blessings to your brother and his family as well. We are a family of faith and we hope to encourage others through our love and faith. Thank you for being a part of our family. Much love from all of us. 🤗

[@dalecarver7415]

Also, your children are very wise, you’ve done an excellent job raising them. That’s why I love your channel and your family. God Bless you all! 🙏

[@kennethw7831]

I know exactly what couple your speaking of I too was a follower of that family. Imo I think some sort of a more explanation could have been made considering that after a few videos later she just stopped vlogging all together. There's no shame in divorce or shouldn't be. No need to go in detail but just come out with it and move on. In this case I think a lot was issues with his own family in another state. Stay strong and blessed.

[@lynettajackson7967]

I think the vloger saying "things have changed and there is a shift in my family dynamics is more than enough. WELL SAID! Anything more than that can cause gossip.

[@dalecarver7415]

One more thing, there’s a possibility that they’re going through a legal situation that doesn’t allow them to discuss or disclose anything!

[@saleemahfareed4790]

I have watched three interracial marriage get a divorce but they kept it real decent on KZbin, and the one was Nikki and jamie and I still watched them both

[@Hamwiltref]

So sad when couples break up and divorce. But yes, I am on the side of keeping it real too, Saleemah. Thanks for chiming in, fam! God bless.

[@CarolAnnCulbertJohnson]

You are on KZbin and I am following you. If Imani wasn't on for a while I would want to know if she is okay. If you two separated I have a right to know. It's your job to keep us informed because we are watching you. You don’t have to give us the details, but keep us posted.

[@ceceliadavis1999]

Whenever you make your channel about family and you bring us into that dynamic and then the person is gone, I wouldn't say that we are being nosey, and you must remember we get used to you guys, so it's sad when you don't see that person anymore.

[@Hamwiltref]

Good point, Cecelia, and I absolutely agree. We have invited our audiences into our lives to a certain extent. Not all, but most of my subscribers are here because they are interested in the dynamics of our relationship/family. We've invited you all into that space. As we share our lives you all experience the ups and downs, joys, and triumphs. You grow to love our family members. Understandably so, you share a level of our joy and pain. Most subscribers love our family and are genuinely concerned. Certainly, my youtube family would want a direct answer if Sam was no longer going to be in the vlogs for whatever reason. Out of love and respect to my youtube family, I would notify them if there has been a shift in that dynamic. Personally, I feel that could be accomplished without going into great detail. For the most part, my youtube family has always shown love and support to my family. That is the least I could do. People handle things differently. So I'm not here to judge. It just sparked an interesting debate with my family as to whether our audience should have a reasonable expectation for transparency when there is a major shift in the content. Much love, fam!

[@lolashaw9858]

Hello Family....I totally agree with Imani and Jamal, she does owe an explanation to the subscribers. She doesn't need to go into details but I watched the channel because of the two of them and when he wasn't there anymore I was concerned. I never commented anything about it because after not seeing him and she just totally stopped talking about him, it was obvious to me. Some people may have commented out of concern, and others probably were rude. I feel everyone is entitled to their own privacy. Jarretta, may I use you as an example? A few years ago when you and Sam had that devastating loss ( I'm sorry) and you lost the baby, you came back to the channel and stated why there hadn't been any videos and why you'd been gone. Did you owe us details, NO. I prayed for both of you, I hurt for you and I felt so much compassion for you. You were so raw and honest, even though you didn't have to be. You were open and honest. I think people just wanted her to be honest, say something, and not act like he was never there, she just stopped talking about him. I think she only stated there was a shift in the family, after people started asking about him, never being in the videos anymore. I prayed for them also. This is my opinion but I don't know everything, I could be wrong. I love you all and I pray God's continual blessings in your lives. 🙏🏽❤🙏🏽

[@Hamwiltref]

Hi, fam!! Nice to see you stopped by, and chimed in. Most people probably have a genuine concern. After all, we've extended an invitation to our subscribers to share our life and relationship to some extent. They experience our ups and downs, joys and triumphs. Our youtube family carry a certain level of our pain as well. I am sure most people just want closure. Details aren't necessary for to achieve that. But, like Imani said, it could just be complicated. We really just don't know and I'm not here to judge. The different ways that KZbinrs handle these types of channel shifts just sparked an interesting debate between me and my family. It begs the question as to whether a KZbinr's audience has a reasonable expectation of transparency when there is a shift. Opinions vary. At any rate, I hope all goes well with them. Thanks for being a part of our family, Lola! Much love! 🤗

[@shalyndabrown1915]

The topic of this video was very serious. I do think the audience do deserve some type of explanation when the channel that they are subscribed to is no longer there or if the couple who started the channel has separated or divorced. It doesn't have to be in full details but at least give an explanation. Love you guys, stay strong and be blessed

[@rhondateal9859]

I feel that if the platform is changing, an explanation is needed. However, personal details are not needed. To be honest I like when my favorite KZbinrs show different things... I love seeing you & Sam on your date nights and absolutely loved seeing your closet makeover....One of my favorites rates crochet hair, but will give a tour of her hometown. Bottomline - its all about the personality!!!

[@ReishaPowell]

Nikki and Jamie handled it perfectly!

[@Hamwiltref]

I agree, Reisha! Thanks for hopping in!

[@bereatha1]

Yes they did

[@margartecarrington9580]

I like to watch them because they seemed to be a happy family and how they organise themselves. It was so obvious that the husband became missing and I then I was wondering what happened because I really liked him. He was so caring.

[@mossomosso5991]

It’s hard to say☹️ you are going to want to know what happened and where the person is. I think they should let the KZbin viewers know. Thank you for putting this video up.♥️♥️

[@lulettejones9831]

It’s their private lives but since the subscribers were supporting them they could give them an answer not details.

[@catinaumekowilliamskohn]

Your Family is Still Strong Together because GOD is Your Foundation. I did see that couple and I was sad from them , then I saw a few more this week. Thank You for Sharing with us Y’all Journey yet not letting outside noise mess up Y’all Orchestra. 👏🏽🙌🏽

SO VERY HAPPY THAT YOU GUYS ARE NOT DIVORCING, THE TITLE THREW ME, WHEW!!! LOVE YOUR BLENDED FAMILY & ESPECIALLY THE LOVE THAT YOU & SAM HAVE FOR EACH OTHER.....I TUNE IN TO YOU BECAUSE I LOVE THE INTERACTIONS & THE LOVE THAT YOU SHOW TO ONE ANOTHER....YOU GUYS ARE SO REAL....LVE YOU!!!💖💖💖

[@theresaforte2202]

It’s always sad to hear of break ups, separations or divorced. You guys made some great points! Personally I feel a brief not detailed explanation should be given just out of respect to your audience. I have another Channel I subscribe to who informed her audience one day she and her husband were separated with no details period! She continued to put out content with no further mentioning of the separation! But Praise God they’ve worked things out & are back together! 🙌🏾💞 Actually you guys did the same thing.... We missed you guys for several months but when you all started back uploading videos you offered an explanation for your absence! Glad you guys are back! 💞

[@Hamwiltref]

It is sad, Theresa. I agree with you. Out of the respect and love that I have for my youtube family, in the least, I feel I would owe you all a direct answer if Sam was no longer going to be in my vlogs. Personally, I don't think details are necessary in order to achieve a level of closure with one's subscribers. Granted, some things are private and personal and should stay that way. However, I can't ignore the fact that most of my audience, not all, but most are here because they are interested in the dynamics of our relationship / family and I've invited you all into that space. So, a brief, direct announcement without private details should suffice. On the other hand people are different and handle things differently which was the entire purpose of the video, to discuss whether there is a reasonable expectation of transparency, especially when your primary content is showcasing your relationship / family dynamics. Thanks for your input, fam. God bless.

[@traceeturner6343]

Agreed 👌🏾

[@sspill55]

This is why I like you guys💕 keeping things real!

[@angelafleming425]

I actually found your channel through theirs. I honestly feel that they do not owe anyone an explanation right now. It's none of our business. Perhaps society needs to be more sensitive when it comes to private family matters. Public figures or not. Thank you for respecting them enough to keep the ananimity.

[@a.ireenefortune1553]

Thank you , Imani, you brought it. If you change what you’ve been delivering to your subscribers , they’d naturally want to know why as well as if they may laugh or cry with you like they’ve gotten used to doing, like you’ve permitted them to. A detailed explanation is not required but addressing the issue is better than just suddenly turning on subscribers when YOU begged them to subscribe and get interested in your business!

Y’all made me nervous with your title! Whew😢Thank God for ❤️ with y’all! It is so sad to see our influencers go through sad times like break ups! A channel that I really enjoyed. I have noticed that as their famous status increased they just seemed to get more big headed and arguing a lot on camera just the husband grand standing, but a lot of us so how you literally started from nothing! I do agree with Imani, we were invited in!They constantly say we’re all about being transparent, then be transparent through it all! Exactly yes Jamal! I do enjoy your channel!

[@Hamwiltref]

Oh no, Cheby! We didn't mean to make you nervous. We are madly in love with each other, still. Praying God continues to bless our union. I guess fame can be a bit to handle for some people. You are either family, or you are not. I consider my subscribers to be family. Yes, transparency is important and not just when it is convenient to be transparent. Thank you for your input. Much love, fam! 🤗

[@putus406]

I really liked the journey they shared So. share the not so good also. Viewers are very supportive and most are not judgemental.

[@Hamwiltref]

I believe that, Putus. I believe that most of our subscribers have a genuine concern. We are part of a community, a family, where we interact in a subscriber/ vlogger relationship. In cases where a KZbinr's content is primarily circulated around their relationship, it stands to reason that subscribers will have questions if that dynamic suddenly changes. We've invited you all into that space. I would expect my subscribers to ask questions if Sam disappeared from the vlogs. As we share our lives you all experience the ups and downs, joys, and triumphs. You grow to love our family members. Understandably so, you share a level of our joy and pain. Some things are private and should remain that way. And yes, a KZbinr's privacy should be respected. But respect works both ways. Out of love and respect to my youtube family, I would make a video to notify them of that shift. That could be accomplished without going into great detail. For the most part, my KZbin family has always shown love and support to my family. That is the least I could do. People handle things differently. So I'm not here to judge. It just sparked an interesting debate with my family as to whether our audience should have a reasonable expectation for transparency when there is a major shift in the content. Much love, fam! 🤗

[@keepitsimpleydb6151]

I liked her and her family. I am more private - so I understand... everybody is different. Respect it or move on.

[@Hamwiltref]

Right, I'm sure they are all wonderful people. I'm not here to judge. I agree, people are different and handle things differently. That's why I gave examples of several KZbinrs and how they handled their situations. They were all different. KZbinrs whose primary content is based around their relationship and family aren't usually private people though. Nevertheless, there are limits that should be respected. Most subscribers probably just had a genuine concern. Because we have invited our subscribers to share our life and relationship, they experience our ups and downs, our joys and triumphs. Our subscribers carry a level of our pain as well. Perhaps her audience just wants closure. You made a good point when you said, "Respect it or move on." Judging from some of the comments here, some did just that. They decided to respect it and move on. Again, I'm not here to judge, especially since I don't really know them or their situation. The different ways that KZbinrs handle these types of channel shifts just sparked an interesting debate between me and my family. It begs the question, when the primary content is showcasing the relationship, should the audience have a reasonable expectation for transparency when there is a shift? Opinions vary. At any rate, I hope all goes well with them. We appreciate your input, Yolanda. God bless! 🤗

[@shirleyfretty487]

My thoughts on this issue is, when one put their lives on KZbin and things happen, A simplified answer should be given without going into full blown details. Afterall your audience is the one that made your channel successful!!!

[@tinabaylor8243]

I thought they worked well together, but I never saw that fire, I saw them being kind but never that fire that keeps a marriage together

[@tinabaylor8243]

[@SnappingTurtle801]

@Shirley Fretty I agree.

[@jaxzy7h684]

I followed the family that you are speaking of. Early on viewers were noticing some signs and started calling her out on some things. She blocked them. I believe she didn’t value her husband enough and made no attempts to truly bond with his family out of state.

[@mikkiismyname]

I unsubscribed when she started blocking ppl who didn't agree with her or called her on things. She tried to come off as so mature and wise but clearly had issues. I think she felt superior to him and that she was a total babe. I got vibes of I can do better or hubby wasn't enough for her. Low key conceited.

I noticed that too she did not never say why they separated because when I figure out they wasn't together anymore I was so shocked because I thought he was a sweetest person ever I thought they were sweet together even when they went on their little outings and vacations together even with their adult children but then he used to go on his vacations a lot to go back home to visit I often worry why he kept going back home to visit so often but after that is when I found out they wasn't together no more and I was shocked and I'm still very shocked especially after they bought that new home it was beautiful just saying

[@Hamwiltref]

Divorce, break ups, and separation are difficult. I don't know what their particular situation is. It struck up an interesting debate with me, Sam, and my two eldest kids as to what is expected from KZbinrs when these types of situations arise. On the other hand, I am praying for them. I truly appreciate your input, Nylotis. 🤗

[@reneeshaw6587]

Good morning I agree with Imani and Jamal. If you don't want to be questioned by your subscribers then shut your channel down and stop capitalizing.

[@lorrainewashington6485]

I subscribed to that channel and watched a text book narcissist, manipulate her audience and the man she married. The channel was never about a marriage, but about her need to satisfy her ego. I never expected her to explain the inevitable. A egotistical person like that, believing they are perfect will never explain. The family dynamic was a smoke screen for self promotion. Her personal goals were more important than any marriage. People's expectations were in error. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Never have expectations in people you don't really know.

Lorraine Washington you hit the nail on the head! I always felt the wife was a narcissistic egotistical nightmare. The husband was just a character in the whole charade and debacle. I always felt she had an agenda to get rid of him once she reached the goal of self promotion. I've been away from KZbin for a couple months and when I returned he was gone with no explanation. Well she and her lovely family lost me as an audience. I wish them all well but I'll never watch them again. This couple here appears to be more wholesome, loving, cohesiveness and genuine and they too have a beautiful family.

I was a subscriber of that family, but I felt like the family dynamic changed so abruptly without real explanation that it was no longer for me 😔. They deserve their privacy, but I think they should have handled it a different way if they were going to change the family. Maybe they could have made an announcement that they're going to be taking a break of a couple of months or so and work there personal part out and then came back and said our channel has changed this is what's going to be happening from now on. I felt like I was being told shut up and eat it, that's the way it's going to be, because I say so..

If your content changes, your subscribers deserve some kind of information as to why there is a shift in the content. They may not have to go into explicit details but yes there has to be some kind of explanation. If you leave people hanging with questions or confusion then yes they may possibly lose subscribers.

Just curious as to the family. I hate to see folks go apart after showing the family.

[@herbalremedys944]

I am fairly new to your channel. I am a Black woman. I have many White and mixed family members. I love observing White and Black couples and their children show love, respect and kindness to each other. Additionally, I love to see them not let the ignorant, racist actions and comments of the stuck on stupid ignorant people get into their head to make them behave in different toward each other. I love how Sam still give his adult children a loving hug and they do the same with him. That is the way it should be. Sam clearly shows he loves and care about Jamal, Jamoni and his other adult children. Just like he loves his small biological children. To Sam: you are a good person, father and husband. "Don't let nothing get you down. Hold your head up, keep your chin up and keep moving forward" Continue to opening show your hugs and love toward your children and wife and openly show you can careless about the racist stuck on stupid people comments that can be hurtful and get to you. Keep your Smile, Sam In response to the subject matter. The people who put videos on Utube to invite the public into their and their family life or just their life don't owe us viewers nothing. We do not controll your life. You have a right not to tell us everything. I agree with Sam. You don't owe us an explanation. Some matters are too petty to prior into therefore should be left alone meaning all of us have enough of our own business to sort out and solve. To all of You: You all are a beautiful Family

I think there should be an explanation. But it doesn't have to be too detailed. Its the content that drew us in in the first place .

[@mildredmugisha]

When you put your life out there, you owe your subs some form of explanation without going into the nitty gritty details of the whole situation.

I agree with your husband. It's none of their business. The changes of any channels could bring losses. So, if the contents remains the same without the actors, per se will only be a question for some. Just continue with the contents, over time will be just fine. As with any channel.. if what you're saying doesn't work for the audiences. They will move on. Not every personal thing about your lives is recordable outside your personal lives. So.

[@bonitamoore8468]

Personality I feel that an explanation should be given and it should be given that it is a divorce. If you give a vague answer it will cause additional questions. I don’t think it’s necessary or required that she go into any details, but we know people and some people just like juice! Really the more you give as for as details they will keep digging for more. Your young people are so mature and some of the adults should take notes. Once I chose the Chanel’s that interest me we do become so attached and pray for the best for the people involved. That would be caring and sensitive people and a people that love. I’ve subscribed to married couples and I subscribed because of the entire family but when that changed in some instances I lost interest. I love your family and continue to put God first!💕💗❤️

Hi Shantel Rain here!!! Whew this title upset me thank goodness it doesn't related because I absolutely love this family! Love you all

Greyed acres was the channel. That's public information......I too wondered what had happened

[@gladysalex9349]

Good to hear, you are not getting divorce.🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

[@Hamwiltref]

Oh, me to, Gladys! Praying God continues to bless our union. Also praying peace for those facing turmoil in their relationships.

[@hcardonabx]

I agree with your hubby. Your life, your channel and you decide what to reveal at the end of day your subscribers can be your support system. Subscribers also get used to seeing you as couple and they get curious. How much you want to reveal is by choice you don't have to answer all their questions nobody does. Subscribers understand if you don't want to share every detail about painful situation, say as little as possible until you yourself have figured out what's going on. Danger of saying something you will regret or sharing something that could be used against you he needs to stress that to your viewers.

[@roserussellperry1719]

Just because you have access to parts of my life doesn't mean I have to explain or tell you everything that is going on or changes in my life. Just because you want to know doesn't mean you have a right to know. There is a difference!!! A person still has a right to privacy whether you are a public figure or not.

[@Hamwiltref]

Good point, Rose. I get what you are saying. As a youtuber, I absolutely do not feel any obligation to share everything that is going on in my life. However, out of the respect and love that I have for my youtube family, in the least, I feel I would owe you all a direct answer if Sam was no longer going to be in my vlogs. Personally, I don't think details are necessary in order to achieve a level of closure with one's subscribers. I can't ignore the fact that most of my audience, not all, but most are here because they are interested in the dynamics of our relationship / family. Some things are private and personal and should stay that way. On the other hand, it begs the question, when the primary content is showcasing the relationship, should the audience have a reasonable expectation for transparency when there is a shift? Again, in my opinion that does not require details. Because we have invited our subscribers to share our life and relationship, they experience our ups and downs, our joys and triumphs. Our subscribers carry a level of our pain as well. Most people subscribe / follow because they love you and have a genuine concern. I am sure most people just want closure. Granted, people are different and handle things differently, so, I'm not here to judge. The different ways that KZbinrs handle these types of channel shifts just sparked an interesting debate between me and my family. Opinions vary. At any rate, I hope all goes well with them. We truly appreciate your input! God bless.

[@roserussellperry1719]

@@Hamwiltref Thank you for those kind words. I also understand where you are coming from as well I subscribe to several KZbinrs but I don't feel the need to be invasive but that's just me. Everyone feels different. No matter which way you handle it some will still not be satisfied.

I know who you are speaking of. I was so sorry to see the split. I look forward to your channel because your family at least explain things. Love your blended family.

[@Hamwiltref]

Yes, thank you, Shirley. It's called, 'keeping it real.' 😁 I'm not sure if they split. She hinted to it, but never directly said. Personally, I would have been more direct, but that's me. I know that most of my subscribers would have a genuine concern if Sam suddenly disappeared from our channel. The topic sparked a debate between me and my family as to whether our audience should have a reasonable expectation for transparency when there is a major shift in the content. Wishing the best for all parties involved. Much love, fam! 🤗

[@vaquero1117]

Sam and your daughter is absolutely correct. My girlfriend referred me to your channel because I am a black women who is considering marrying an Italian man. We also met online. If Sam is no longer on your channel I feel I have the right as a subscriber to know if I need to continue watching your channel. I watch to gain insight on my situation. Keep up the good work. ☺️☺️☺️

Blessings to the family y'all had me nervous.Thank God all is well on your end for me at the end of the day it's y'all life but you let us in we are the subscribes so of course if what ya'll bring to the table and we like it of course we are going to come back for more and Jamal and Imani make very good points as well, you have to please the people that have you on that platform especially when you are getting paid. The Costumer is also right, I mean we don't need to go into what happens behind closed doors, but if you present something or someone to us of course if they are not there anymore we are going to question it. And that's my point of view on the matter, as my mom always say if you don't want people in your business don't put anything out there Great subject 🤗do be safe and bless

[@naijelix]

First, I must say I really like Sam's beard size😃. Nice length/ size. Next. I'm happy to know NO DIVORCE IN THIS FAMILY🌟🌟💗. You are so very ELEGANT JARRETA🌟🌟🙂. SAM IS SIMPLY ADORABLE 😚

[@josephinehunte1250]

Hi Jarretta, hopefully didn't spell ur name wrong, Hi Sam, Hi Imani. Relationships r very hard to maintain at times. It must b smthng u work on everyday, no matter what. By work on I mean laugh, hug, kiss, talk, share, compliment, do things in house & out of house together, cook, wash, go to stores, etc together. Just be about togetherness, communicate. Keep business business, Personal personal, private private.etc its how u start out as a youtuber, what subjects u present, keep to original content if change explain not why u change explain only it was changed. If this makes sense. But to me if there was a breakup, sorry for couple & praying for them. 🙏 ❤

[@Hamwiltref]

Hi, Josephine! You spelled my name correctly. I agree with you, Josephine. I don't feel anyone should have to get into great detail about their private life. However, I do think one should respect their subscribers/ audience enough to let them know clearly that the dynamics have changed, rather than dropping clues and beating around the bush. Granted, respect goes both ways, from subscribers as well as vloggers/ KZbinrs. Thanks for your input, Josephine. Much love. 💞

[@alischar7248]

Yes, When you ask she will either block you or erase the comment. I feel she's VERY non-conscious of her selfishness. She also played the Click-Bait thing and NEVER really "cared" to answer the questions but she put out little videos that eluded to an issue that felt like a silly puzzle or game. Her kids are talented and so was he and for him to just disappear was unfair and is worth some sort of explanation. We want to know if Phillip is well is he ok??? I mean basic B-C class famous take the time to at least create or put out press releases when they break-up with someone. They are arent even married to. To me, it's just respect. We don't need details but we deserve her to put her "big girl" panties on and say we're separated or we are getting a divorce or even we are working through our issues. He's currently not comfortable in the home or he moved out. We don't need the BIG deets but yes. We deserve SOMETHING! I watched EVERY VIDEO She put out...and for her to act nonchalant even crasp or curt and say " I'll share when I'm good and ready" to me has no integrity attached to her intention on the channel seemed to be less transparent as she seemingly reared the channel when he was there. By the way, she shared really private things about her life previously...so why NOw is mum the way to go? ...I think her choice is wrapped in some guilt and shame. When he kissed her she didn't really seem "into" him...and now she and her kids are on Social Media now with tictok videos like nothing happened...to me she will lose subscribers. He was integral to the channel. If you watched you know he carried her financially, she got her degree, and BOOM now he's gone...he bought houses helped her create her business I mean dang! She certainly owes her audience something! I was nice when I asked once and never did again. she just erased my comment without a word..THE NERVE! but I watched EVERY VIDEO that GREYED ACRES put out because I enjoyed the dynamic. say something!!!!

[@Hamwiltref]

Oh no, Alischa! I am sorry for you frustration and disappointment. Your emotions jump off the page of your writing. Your inquiry and expectation for transparency is warranted. You do deserve an answer within reason. We have invited you all into our lives, and relationship. We understand that our subscribers grow to love us individually and as a family. If there is a major shift in our family dynamic, naturally, people will wonder, especially if the 'missing person' was an integral part of the content we shared/capitalized off of. If Sam went missing, I would expect my subscribers to ask questions. I believe most of my KZbin family would have a genuine concern. Our subscribers love and support us. They experience our ups and downs, joys, sorrows, and triumphs. To some extent, they also experience our pain. We are a community, interacting in a KZbinr/ subscriber relationship. Like most relationships, there is mutual respect on both sides. Subscribers should respect the boundaries and the privacy of KZbinrs. At the same time, a KZbinr should respect their audience. As much as we want our privacy respected, we have to remember that we chose to invite you into that space. We are not forced to showcase the dynamics of our relationships with our spouses. We could have chosen to go in a different direction, choosing the focal point of our channel to be makeup, cars, sports, etc. Instead, we decided to let you all into the dynamics of our relationship and family. If something changes in that dynamic, yes, we do owe our audience an answer. Now it would be rude or nosey if a subscriber was inquiring about the personal relationship of a KZbinr whose channel is focused on makeup and fashion, but that's not the case here. If I'm 'keeping it real,' sometimes the good, bad, and the ugly might surface. That goes along with the territory when the focal point of our content is our relationship. Personally, I feel I can manage to preserve the integrity of my privacy and the relationship with my subscribers at the same time. In this particular case, instead of beating around the bush and dropping hints, I would be specific in my response as to the current standing point of the relationship. This can actually be accomplished without divulging personal details. But that's just me. People handle things in different ways. So, I'm not judging. The topic brought up an interesting discussion between me and my family as to whether our audience should have a reasonable expectation for transparency when there's a major shift in the content. Thanks for the feedback. God bless! 🤗

[@alischar7248]

@@Hamwiltref God Bless! we don't ever want to intrude. Just be informed not even details would matter it could be very kind and general yet honest and transparent WITHOUT ANY DETAIL! it's like going to the grocery store and seeing the same clerk for years and then they just disappear...customer may simply ask about them. the manager may say he's no longer working here...which is totally enough!

[@jillbutler45]

She does not have to tell us why they broke up. There can be people you know personally, for example somebody went to church with for years. They do not always tell why they break up. They are not obligated.

[@Hamwiltref]

I agree with you, Jill! No one should have to go into details as to why they broke up. Some things are private and should remain that way. However, we have invited you all into our lives to some extent. Most of my subscribers are here because they are interested in the dynamics of our relationship/family. We've invited you all into that space. As we share our lives you all experience the ups and downs, joys, and triumphs. You grow to love our family members. Understandably so, you share a level of our joy and pain. Most subscribers love our family and are genuinely concerned about our well-being. Certainly, my youtube family would want a direct answer if Sam was no longer going to be in the vlogs for whatever reason. Out of love and respect to my youtube family, I would notify them if there has been a shift in that dynamic. Personally, I feel that could be accomplished without going into great detail. For the most part, my youtube family has always shown love and support to my family. That is the least I could do. Granted, people handle things differently. So, I'm not here to judge. The topic sparked an interesting debate with my family as to whether our audience should have a reasonable expectation for transparency when there is a major shift in the content. Much love, fam!

[@shelly8965luv]

I believe I know which family that you are referring to. I love her and her family. Just like a few people have said here, I believe that an explanation should be made to the subscribers, but I think that she should just let her subscribers know that something has shifted however if she felt that she would like to take some time get through what it is that they are going through to heal, then she can discuss it with her subscribers at a later date. There is another vlogger that had gone through something similar on her channel, she is a younger woman who was in an IR marriage, (she is biracial) they had no children together however, she started her channel with her husband in her vlogs and after a period of time, he was no longer featured. She finally came out to her subscribers and explained that they were no longer together and that she didn't feel like discussing in detail the specifics and if she felt so, she would share later. She did share about a year or so later because she felt that she had healed from it all.

Things happen, life changes . people come and go there are times when the Marriages end and relationships falls apart. Some people just leave for reason are the other... It's life !!

[@jfinner86]

It is true that You Tubers have a right to privacy , but as said the page was based on that relationship, and not only was the husband gone there appeared a New Male and there was content with him as the Matter, which was strange to me . But I used common sense and figured it out....but the Channel ( and I know😉) I really liked the relationship between the husband and wife , and sorry they didn't work out but also perhaps they married too soon, because if I'm not mistaken they met off of a dating site and cliqued right away.... Wishing them both well.... Happy as hell You all are still a combined family.☺️

Hi guys I am watching your video late hope you see my comments. I agree with your son and daughter we are their life source we really get to like them we even cry with them if they cry we becomes part of their families therefore if something is changing we need a short explanation just don't let us hanging I remember Niki they never said anything for a long time only after people start talking they then open up I was so mad I told them I will not subscribed I didn't for a while but gradually I started watching them again but I am sure they might have lost some viewers permanently

[@Hamwiltref]

Hey, Cathy! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season. Yes, I agree with you totally on the topic. Our subscribers are part of our family and to some degree we have a responsibility to at least briefly update if the dynamic changes. Thanks for stopping by. Best wishes to you and yours in the new year.

[@Creativem27]

It's upsetting to me,. I would want to know why they divorce. What ever happened to their joyful promise to love your spouse forever. No one said marriage is easy.. I think couples use separation and divorce not to work on their marriage. Unless their is emotional, physical abuse or one cheated on the other. In that case they should divorce.

[@kosmiclatte3503]

I agree with Emani...I think that instead of all your business out there why not just say...something along the lines of " I know you guys are use to seeing that person however..we have decided that this time that person has opted not to film" atleast address it....don't act like your all shocked when people start asking questions especially when you have built your channel as a couple.No its not everyone's business to know the particulars. ...who did what and to whom..but atleast say Something....when the people have been watching for a while then it kinda feels like an abandonment...js
