Can You Still Be Friends With Your EX's Family?

[@hishandmaiden718]

It is a privilege to have this couple share with such vulnerability week after week. Thank you!

[@ms.angiesworld8696]

Thank you both for responding to my email. My email was the second one you all read about me remaining friends with my ex’s mother. You all wondered how my ex feels about his mom and I remaining friends; he doesn’t mind at all, and is appreciative that I’ve maintained my relationship with her. I appreciate you all’s advice. Thank you 🙏🏽❤️❤️

[@devinimnottellin]

Hey Yvette! It's "Sisters Before Misters" And you weren't too far off. We got it 🤗

[@WordsPictures997]

Glenn, you responded to the comment so well. YOU'VE REALLY GROWN!!!! Well done Sir! The work you and Yvette have been doing in therapy is really showing 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you both for being an example of Grace and Growth in process. Praying that God continues to cover you both and protect you. It isn't easy being in the public. It's definitely a calling and God's got you both despite what anyone on the outside looking in may say or think. We love you both.

As a woman, I think Yvette is blessed to be married to a man like Beleaf. This man has shown us multiple times that he is devoted to his wife and children.

[@hibyeeatpie1040]

I'm not even old enough to get married and I still love this podcast :)

[@Camrteolnyo]

I appreciate Glen’s response to the comment! Some qualities of Glen are qualities I admire of my man! 🙌🏼 The “I don’t have time to be misunderstood” so he’s very direct and tried to explain things in a way so that everyone perceives and understands what he’s saying and meaning… like Yvette I was also at some point in our relationship not understanding the way my boyfriend communicated and others also saw our relationship as “me being a victim” but they don’t know the love and the connection we have with each other and how committed we also are to becoming ONE in a relationship. Thank you for your vulnerability!

[@khellieshaw34]

Your daughter's awareness of her feelings is amazing, and her openness with you about her feelings and how you receive her feelings is inspiring. That's not to say it isn't a difficult challenge to steer and steward children -- so continued blessings to all us parents!

[@LiscoLin]

The first section of this conversation is such a blessing to me, and and I am not in a relationship. Such great awakening.

[@KC-YouTubeName]

I’m so thankful for y’all’s transparency!❤ and Yvette until you’re married it’s definitely ho’s before bros!😂

[@awardtour93]

Matt wants to feel valued, and he's feeling replaceable. Sally doesn't feel he's meeting her needs. So she's leaning on her friend more because she knows Ashley has the capacity and wants to help. It's best that Ashley fall back a bit unless it's a true emergency. Sally may be using Ashley as a way to avoid directly working out the issue with her husband. There's probably part of Ashley that likes being needed too because she doesn't have a relationship of her own. It's not a good situation for any of them.

[@whenyouwishuponastar6643]

I agree. I think it would be good for Ashley to tell her friend “I love you, I wanna help you but I don’t want to come between your relationship, I’m gonna fall back a bit” or something. It’s also awkward to be in the middle, Ashley might feel better to be removed a bit.

[@ABenjamiteSis]

Thank you both for sharing this information with us. Your family is beautiful and I praise The Most High for His mercy and grace upon you all. It’s interesting that a person can look at masculinity and criticize it. Glen, continue to be a great husband, father and role model and Yvette continue to be an amazing wife and mother. I appreciate you two. Blessings.

[@deyaonsotti9594]

Thank you all so much for letting us in.

[@ashleywilliams5924]

We love your content and its very much needed. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Handler22134a]

Best cologne ad i’ve seen yet.

[@joydesignstudio0]

The intro is always a whole bop. 😂 I sing yvetttes part every time

[@srswms5157]

Has Yvette sung professionally?

[@KPsparks]

Beleaf, the first time I heard you say it's a privilege to see your content ...I was like man I need to believe this about my content as well! I truly feel privileged and appreciate what you two share in sucha creative way that inspires me!

[@affectif8818]

Love love love it!! Glad to see you guys!! I emailed you from EyeGotDistracted lol. But I’m so glad you’re back, (like you left or something) I love you guys and I love that you keep it 1000. And for the record I love you BOTH just the way you are! Growth is always necessary in LIFE. You both have grown and evolved so much and will continue to. And that’s just how life goes. I wanted to say a few choice words to the last person that commented her “opinions” about brother Glen but I’m going to let the Lord deal accordingly. We the people lol fail to realize that we all have “CHOICES” and KZbin is a place in which we have a plethora of choices. Choose the voice that you rock with. But for marriage I’m rocking with them and this is real life with a side of humor. But who doesn’t like to laugh?!?! Trust me Glen and Yvette amongst many married couples have cried but when you have grown and taken the steps to stay 110 toes down and committed to your covenant THERE LIES THE BEAUTY FOR ASHES!!! When you can laugh at your person and correct yourself and still LIKE each other after the fact, THATS LOVE and GROWTH. I love y’all and only you guys know how your marriage covenant works, worked, is working, or need some work. Keep doing your thing! Many many many hugs, love, prayers and blessings to y’all forever and ever! Alright ramble over

[@HowMarriedAreYouPodcast]

🥺🥺🥰 You rock with us for real! 😭🥰🤗 Thank you for this encouragement! ♥️

[@affectif8818]

@@HowMarriedAreYouPodcast Absolutely forever and always!!!

[@marinac9339]

I appreciate your candor always. I relate to your relationship because you guys remind me of me and my husband. So those real moments really resonate with me. So I agree with you that we are very lucky to have you both to share your life with us. And your truths.

[@MrsSSmith77]

Eddie, Lucious, Albert, Mike you’re definitely insecure. Glenn the various names cracked me up.

[@Ashleynavyy]

I don't think it's healthy to maintain friendships with an ex or their families. People should respect boundaries & move on

[@whenyouwishuponastar6643]

In regards to that comment, I think people are used to fake relationship podcasters who say a lot of good things but aren’t the same way in real life. I love listening to you guys because you’re honest and you’re yourselves, authentic. It’s always easy to judge how another couple communicates, but after getting married myself I’ve learned not to judge. I wouldn’t be surprised if the commenter is single only because I’ve learned men don’t always communicate the way women do, if that makes sense. That’s not a dog at her, I just think being in a marriage you don’t judge as quickly. You guys always drop gems and I appreciate it. I’m gonna add that there is so much judgement when you show your relationship to others. It’s very vulnerable and people forget they we are not prefect. If people had seen how I have communicated with my husband as my worst, lord, people who judge for sure lol. I think you two are a beautiful couple and I look up to you both.

[@patriciabradford1304]

I think it’s okay for men to express that birth/pregnancy takes a toll on them. I don’t think it’s always associated with abandonment. I do think it should be communicated by the man clearly and not in a passive aggressive way like this husband is doing. I hope they can hear each other out and talk through how they both can feel supported through this process and new season of two babies.

[@TheBenitaAngela]

Yvette’s fear of abandonment is also mine. I hold on hard to my ppl which reduces room for my partner. Appropriate y’all

[@AJourneetoWynn]

I think contacting your ex’s family on holidays is fine and here and there like hey how are you. But consistently is too much. It’s too much of an attachment to the ex woman/man.

[@danit199]

I feel moved to comment for the first time, in response to the last email/comment about the dynamics of your relationship. Glen said something that I think was spot on. It doesn't necessarily make sense to respond, because the comment is clearly based in a space of woman v. man. It is ripe with assumptions. I understand, because I used to have those reactions at times when I first started watching (before you two took a break from #HMAY). What I adore between you two is the obvious growth...in BOTH of you. Yvette is finding and exploring her own unique voice in this space, and it is a joy to watch. Glen comes across as someone who is firm, but fair. What I see at play is the balancing act that relationships depend on, and I want to cheer you both on in that

[@HowMarriedAreYouPodcast]

Thank you!!! 🥺🥰♥️

[@MNIU_]

Last comment but it’s super cute how Yvette wanted to smell AND see glen and even better that glen just enjoyed her moment and let her have it

[@michellepegues4011]

Let's admit Yvette is not the cologne, pheromones, or Glen's natural aroma is simply that you love him.....Good....Winning! Love you guys.

[@nicoles4257]

The comment was so icky. There were layers of projection that she needs to unpack in therapy. I don't know how you guys do it but thank you for pushing through and creating amazing content that is blessing so many of us. I know I'm showing up better in my marriage and as a mother because of you two.

[@AskIveSolar]

Around 37:00 regarding comments When we start our new channel around similar marriage stuff....I'm turning on approval of all comments. Lol And I'm not saying we gon not approve dissenting points but the foolishness ain't making the cut.

[@AngieP316]

Glen made such an Anaya-face @46:50! She is his twin 🤣

[@melissarose6328]

Happy 🐰 Easter

[@Hue_10]

Yevette, you are right It’s “Bros before Hos”. Meaning friends over the opposite sex or person of interest lol. So you should always choose your friend first lol. Anyia is so cute!!!

[@Adeola_Fadipe]

Glen, I started watching this channel because of you. I grew up with a very bad father, absent at times and abusive at times. But watching you and your family and how you relate and love on each other and communicate has given me a lot of joy, hope and encouragement for what Godly marriages are capable of. I agree with the Holy Spirit, that uncalled for comment should have been left in the trash, but equally I get why you felt the need to respond and speak up for yourself. This message is just to say, that nothing in that comment even comes close to the truth. But what is true is that God is working in you and through you to bless total strangers like me. These videos are the highlight of my week sometimes. 🙏🏾🌻 So thanks and God bless you and Yvette and the chocolate babies!

[@MNIU_]

The grandparent issue is an insecurity ..bc if she was being mentored by someone else it wouldn’t be an issue at all , it bc it’s “my ex’s mom” it’s an issue , and it was even more highlighted by “my ex showing up” like they’re adults and it would be different if they were in a one on one situation

[@________1516]

Haha, Yvette! Y’all are awesome

[@handmadewithchristiwade9693]

Friends shouldn't interfere with marriage.

[@hectornegron9155]

My 1st wife and I got divorced 27 yrs ago. Her mom still calls me "yerno" (son in law). Both her sister and brother call me brother. I too call them sister and brother.

[@teejayyesss]

So so so relate to not realizing it's PMS despite it coming every month like clockwork lol

[@MNIU_]

The comment was weird and seems like they were triggered by you which is why they even responding with saying what they would do in that situation and wrote Disagreeing with how someone communicates with someone based on your personal experience is invalid and the way they went for glen was inappropriate, I think it’s good he answered it bc people act like they’re reading a magazine and talking to their girlfriends vs commenting me one else live which is a direct interaction with them

[@VashtiPerry]

I get this my moms friends don’t have boundaries because my mom made them her husband 😅 my parents aren’t together for years and one of my moms friends just recently understood that she wasn’t my moms husband. So to speak.

[@cerealmom2067]

[@rosie9974]

I never miss your podcast. 💜K. FORD

[@TheFearlessBabe]

Matt sounds selfish. He won’t do it but he has a problem with her friend doing. However the pregnant friend might be complaining and comparing which is toxic. Ashley need to tread lightly because she’s not guilty of helping, but she may be over stepping without realizing it because the pregnant friend isn’t being told it’s a problem and that’s not fair to her. Child the whole thing a mess lol. Ashley, please pray for them and bring it to your friend because you might be assuming he’s a problem when really it’s her comparing and that’s putting you in an uncomfortable place and that’s not fair.

[@dillonhall3344]

One of the biggest Biggest bars from the podcast if she is team sally then she should also be team Matt.

[@tishthoughts]

This was a very good podcast!!!!! Will your pre-marriage advantage course for same-sex couples?

For the lady who left that comment...gurl, go to sleep 🙄.

[@Tiacocoa]

Good Friday I don’t know what that commenter is going through but this couple are a gold mine of knowledge, we all have flaws but most ppl ain’t working on em so stop feeling entitled and better your self commenter 😂

[@victoriaraymond8743]

Here’s what I’d like to say I have been in a relationship with a man for 27 years my daughter is 31 years old I have been best friends with my exes sister-in-law they have taken me and I lived in their home when we split up before I met him they have been nothing but good and true to me my family is limited I’m not close with my family or parents so I would not cut off a relationship that has always had my best interest and never been disrespectful I don’t go places where my ex is unless it has something to do with a grand children or a family gathering as well I would just like to say that society labels us and says that your girlfriend that’s your boyfriend that’s your ex but what maturity tells us is that God created us all and there should not be those kind of boundaries put in place when you can get along with people

[@victoriaraymond8743]

I apologize for the typos …my boyfriend of 27 years has always been invited , My ex and my boyfriend of 27 years have always gotten along always Treated respectfully.As well his daughter Is 33 and has known them 27 years of her life and they have taken her in as well and treated her as their own niece she spends time over there when it has nothing to do with me .she has made her own bonding relationship with them also. It comes with maturity as well as we are all Gods children too many labels put on people that destroys good relationships you don’t destroy relationships that have been respectful and good to you because somebody’s too immature and insecure to deal with it…

[@stefaniefulcher2010]

You should have listened to the Holy Spirit. Delete the comment, don't even digest it- just live your life. Some people are trolls. As an audience, we're here for y'all and you know your truth. Period.

[@lovelytia1]

Thank you for sharing in your authenticity of who you are. I agree it is a privilege to experience the reality of a god led black family navigating life. As I watch your podcast I am very understanding we are watching these conversations happen in real time. There is sensitivity you will have towards your partner so you won’t share your business that not our business to know. I enjoy watching the growth and conversations from the both of you! 🤎
