To the first caller: Lil sis...please know that I understand your need intimacy but know one thing...regardless of how much or little a person pours into you, it is YOUR JOB to fill your emptiness, your void, your cup. Never rely on another person (boyfriend, husband, parent etc.) to fill you up. They are the cherry on the top, not the whole sundae. At 21, please focus on your move, your new apartment, decorating, getting your routines down, your job/business, looking and feeling good on the inside & outside, and having fun. You got this!!!

With a boyfriend, husband, father, or brother… it’s a mental illness to pay or help pay ANY man’s child support. You sure didn’t help him create the child and hopefully you didn’t help him create a broken home for the child. He needs to be a man and take care of his responsibilities which is caring for a child he created

First case: Two possibilities: Imo he thinks, or knows, that he caught a disease, and is avoiding sex to not infect her, but is too embarrassed to tell her. Or, he no longer wants sex with women, or at least not black women. I'm retired now, but in my early 20s went thru this in two different relationships. This was in the early '80s, and it was baffling at the time, but please no that lying black men have been gaslighting black women a very long time. Yeah, folks can be with who they want to, but they're creeps when they use the hell out of you and then lie. Knowing what I know now about human nature, this girl would do well to never even speak to him again, and not to be surprised that he doesn't care and barely notices.

Not to be funny but $550 to take care of a child is not a lot . That's less than $10k a year. I'm unsure what she expects rent, food, clothes, activities, is high as hell right now. She talking about taking away from her??? Be very careful you can easily be the next baby mother and then end up getting $550 or LESS now that he has another child ......and just wondering if her child goes to the bm house to play with the daughters as well. If not how can you get upset if she don't want the same 19:57

Listennnnnnnn, the way that entire exchange was irking to me!!!! I married my young love and we both only have our 1 child together, however, MANY couples are blended/bringing outside children etc. -- this man's EX-WIFE (and child's mother) has every right to ask for an increase in support EVERY SINGLE TIME he gets a raise or promotion. The fact that she seems confused by this (esp as a 31 y/o single mother herself) is just wild. She's allowed to be annoyed by her situation, but she's a big weirdo to call mommy greedy, it sounds like she's actually been quite kind to ONLY take $550 a month. If she catches this video, she may just let the courts handle it (and she has every right to do that too!)!

She's mad seeing all that extra income going to someone else's home, but had the nerve to call her greedy?!!! I'm going to guess she isn't receiving support for her own son and that's really the root -- respectfully, she should take that up with HER child's father.

If you are in your first year and are not communicating, intimate, missing any of the relationship essentials…please end it. Unless you want to go uphill the entire way with a high likelihood of it never working…leave. You should be getting to know each other and sharing lives and space. If you already separated physically, emotionally…move on. Caveat: If a sudden and known life change happens, like health, accident…then evaluate based on what suits your life and level of commitment. But this is less likely.

Girl you should not be helping to pay a man's child support. Also $550 is an ample amount of money for child support if he has an average income (less than 6 six figures). Also nothing is wrong with the BM not wanting you to have the kids if the father is not there. She is the bio mom and it's not your kids so it's not your place.

With regard to the child support question here's the deal. Get a promotion and it's on lime Donkey Kong. The court's don't care if you go from E7 to being commissioned as a Warrant Officer at the W2 rank. They want to see what both parties make. It's the same thing when you retire and get start another career. The court's will want to see both pay stubs. I'll advise that when retirement goes down and you get that first retirement check, file a motion to have that CS revisited sooner than later. Especially if you're not working.

To the sexuality, there is a spectrum of sexuality and in the Black community, it is a lot more shamed and repressed. A lot of religious programming is still present. As people move further away from social pressure, they can discover their true alignment. There are many asexual people, and many more bi and homosexual. Plus there are probably some that have one sexual alignment and a different romantic alignment. Life is not black and white.
