I had my daughter at 22. Her father and I broke up when she was nine months old because of those exact reasons. However, I didn’t have the mindset/wisdom I do now about what’s important when raising a child together. Sometimes you don’t realize the cultural differences or even who that person truly is until you have a child together.

[@Kai_Mx]

This is true, talks during dating are very different. Sometimes you both think you can compromise on certain things but practically when it's happening in front of you and with a kid you might have a change of heart. Also not all cultural differences are addressed before the baby comes, it doesn't take 2 years to learn about your spouse's cultures even after 15 years there are new things you will learn. Couples need to figure out what is important to each of them first.

Jeannie Mai is highly family-oriented. She moved from California (where she was born and raised) to Atlanta, where her new husband lived. It doesn't surprise me if she wanted her family there. I think the family values they are talking about is that Jeezy didn't realize how close and BIG Jeannie's family is and that she is genuinely Asian. She's not Asian trying to be Black. She has deep Asian family values that she carries with her.

[@DestinationDionna]

People need premarital preparation with a professional, so these conversations can be had with actual impact

[@prod5429]

That's an issue that many people who date and marry interacially, dont take into account. Cultural values lead to many many divorces. Jeezy may have liked the idea of a culture where men and women play a specific role in the household and non-western cultures do embrace that traditional role, but he under-estimated the importance of family in that culture. I know from experience that the asian community is very family oriented, to the point that relatives do move in with the new married couple. If you don't like a jam packed household then you may wanna reconsider.. Italians, middle eastern, African and Hispanic families are the same in that aspect. They believe you have to earn your way into the family and you shouldn't tarnish the family name.They still abide by tradition that we in the west have largely abandoned. Personally I do favor roles in the household but if you come from a culture where your family isn't that involved in your household, then I can see how it can be overwhelming. Jeezy was probably thinking, "Look, I married you, not them.".. He just didn't realize when you marry into these traditionalist families, you are marrying into the family and they take it literally. It could also be true that Jeannie Mai's well documented temperament issues could also have led to the separation as well. He isn't trying to come home to attitude and dis-unity in his household and with his social standing, he has alot of options and figured he could do better. Based on some of the things she said in the past and how she reportedly treated her ex-husband, I can only imagine the difficulty of living under one roof with her. There's a reason why her ex-husband said, "I upgraded" when re-marrying to another woman after their divorce. Men have to realize that it may be exciting in the bedroom to date these alternative women, but trying to build a household with them is another story. You shouldn't have to mold someone to respect your boundaries and it's a red flag for any woman to say, "I need a man who can handle me." Her statements about black men on the view also disqualified her, but some men look past the flags and have to learn the hard way.

African families don't move in with new couples, at least I have never heard that not with Asian families. With Asian families this is more so the routine during and after a woman's pregnancy. But also Asian women tend to be more dominant, so I cant see that fairing well with Jeezy.

I usually do not care one bit about celebrity couples but even I found that pairing odd. It would be difficult for me to see past anyone objectifying men of my race in such a crude fashion, let alone see a wife for myself in that person. To then view someone like Jeanie Mai as a suitable mother for a young black child is strange to say the least. Jeezy always likes to portray himself as a shrewd and well thought through hustler, this move looked anything but well thought through. Hopefully, he has at least made sure she now has a more educated perspective on black men, if only for the sake of their young child.

[@dougedoug2105]

👏🏽 Your last statement. We’re all evolving as human beings and it’s unfair to place a timeframe on someone else’s growth & progress. Everyone keeps forgetting that Jeannie’s statements regarding black men were made in 2014, during a time of her life where it’s worth mentioning that she was married to her first husband, a white man, at the time; She probably made those statements to appeal to her then, husband. Mind you, no one considers that Jeannie Mai is herself a biracial individual or even how her statements could’ve offended her Chinese or Vietnamese male relatives and/or Asian counterparts. But even if she didn’t, my views on race and marriage have changed since then. In 2014, I probably would’ve considered entering into an interracial marriage. However now that I’m older I understand the negative implications of such a decision and nowadays would decide against it. Everyone’s experience is different and I wouldn’t totally write her off or view her as racists because of ignorant statements made in her past. 🙋🏾‍♂️My $.02

[@Forelysse]

They’re so funny! I loved this segment 😂

[@ooollgaa]

But here’s the thing! Jeannie always made me feel like they have a lot of conversations. Remember she said they had a long long talk in Monaco (hence baby name). Especially that they were both broken by their past relationships I was assuming they will now discuss and make sure all is right. I felt Jeannie understood the cultural differences and that there is compromise required. Maybe they talked theory but reality got the worst out of them…

It's important to people watch as well. If your spouse says that they value exercising everyday, watch their actions too. If you're sleeping over or whatever - you should have an idea of who they are aside from what they say. A lot of people lie and have a fear of abandonment + some people hate being single and will say whatever in the moment. You can't allow yourself to be desperate for any relationship!

Rarely do I see them talking about their Black husband in a way that actually matters. It’s always a backhand compliment or passive aggressive dig towards Black women. Jeannie did that shit too. Every time she talked about Jeezy, she made it about sex, or their private conversations. She never respected him or his boundaries as a husband literally telling the public their personal business. Jeezy strikes me as the type of man person that values privacy. Jeannie runs her damn mouth too much. I knew it was a wrap when she talked about having sex with Jeezy & liking to be on top bc he would play with her belly when she was pregnant 🤢 I don’t think “tough conversations” weren’t had simply bc if nothing else, Jeannie is transparent.

Here's the thing. Jeezy is really into Self development. That's amazing and I think he should take that same approach to his marriage. Couples therapy and comittment to working to strengthen the marriage should have been tried before jumping straight to divorce. All the reasons I heard thus far are minor; workable issues. When you build a house it takes time to settle... cracks will appear... and after they are repsired, a house will always need upkeep, repairs, and updates. Marriage is just like people, a work in progress. Unless it's been tried over and over and Jeanie was deadlock against...working on anything.... Jeezy jumped the gun on this one. Perhaps he isn't ready for what marriage really takes. *** disclosure; these thoughts are based off what we know thus far, he may have very compelling reasons of a serious nature that we/ I don't know about....

[@AN-fg4cd]

Because he is NOT the marrying type. Jeezy has a history of leaving his women before their child is 2 years old. Long-term commitments is not his thing. Therefore, he was never going to stay long and would’ve found another reason why the marriage didn’t work. He likes the honeymoon stages only.

People are too quick to divorce. Get marriage counseling. Go to a marriage retreat. Read a book together. Find some compromise with certain things....the answer is not always divorce. At least try to work on the martiage first and don't wait until there are problems to work on it.

My wife’s family believes that your parents should move in with you and you should take care of them and I didn’t come from that type of family my grandparents live by themselves and are able to take care of themselves. Now if something happens where our grandparents need help we have sort of a family meeting over the phone to see how can we help and whats the cost but i can already tell later on down the line this is going to be an issue for me. Cuz i can just tell by her moms actions and conversation that she’s trying to set herself up to sit under my roof and do nothing like she’s doing now

Learn about family values during dates. Ask questions, meet the parents, attend family holidays and events to get an idea if their customs and values mesh well with yours.

[@maryihezie1190]

So true 👍

[@theosway]

Flip is spot on.

[@TheHouseofcoolstuff]

We don’t celebrate Christmas, Easter or Halloween in our household. We have two small kids who go to school where they’re the only black and Muslim kids in our small rural school. From as young as 2 years old we taught our kids that we don’t celebrate those holidays because we have our own holidays. We taught them to respect others whenever they have their holidays and now that they’re 7 & 4 years old they tell all their classmates and teachers why we don’t celebrate those holidays. They never feel left out in any way because they understand the reason why it doesn’t make sense to us. Kids are super intelligent and if giving reason why we don’t do certain things they completely understand. We taught our kids to believe in themselves and never be the followers of others. We teach them to be proud of their beliefs, and their cultures so it has never been any issue for us. If we can do in a small rural town and be the only black and Muslims and stand in our beliefs and culture it can happen anywhere.

A lot of people actually Do not have these conversations. A lot of times we just start to notice how someone was raised, notice how their families interact. I know a lot of people who started having problems later on in relationships because these things were not discussed.

[@ericmclean4291]

There's an important part of the story that gets left out. Jeanie never wanted to have kids because she was molested as a child and feared she wouldn't be able to protect her child because she wasn't protected. That is why there wasn't any conversations about raising kids when they got married. With that being said, this is such a minor thing to get divorced over. They both work in a capacity that they would need to have a live-in nanny anyways. And they're both millionaires so they should be able to figure something out.

[@kjk607]

Wanting/not wanting kids is a HUGE thing. What are you talking about? No wonder they didn't make it. Now I'm even MORE confused as to how they even got married.

[@wahoo4uva]

@@kjk607Jeannie didn’t want to have kids with her first husband Freddie. Supposedly, it’s part of what led to their divorce. Maybe he agreed to not having kids at first then changed his mind after they married, or they never mutually agreed to not having them? It happens (crazy as it seems). Jeannie changed her mind about kids when she got with Jeezy. Her ex-husband Freddie had a child with another woman relatively soon after he and Jeannie divorced.

I’m sure it’s definitely challenging to come together with completely different backgrounds and cultural viewpoints. They probably assumed a lot about each other and didn’t take into account the extended family dynamics and raising a child. Black culture and Asian culture in my personal opinion are both are very dominant. So I can understand this turning upside down. Just from the outside looking in, it seems like interracial relationships for example Asian and Caucasian people work maybe because there is no fight for positional dominance in the relationship.

[@cosmiccrush22]

i noticed this aswell, certain cultures don't gel well together as a unit, that needs to be talked about more, any culture can have fun in the bedroom, maybe a good time dating, but longevity is something else as the emphasis on culture, family and values is heavyyyy.

[@lazyscorpion3889]

Asians and African culture are dominant. Theres nothing like black culture. However am African living in Asia and i think we have many similarities. Whats disturbing these two is the modern black and. Modern asian culture! Both being dominant in nature, it becomes hard to reconcile. Forexample long ago in Asia women were meant to be submissive, this is what we blacks have too. But today in Asia women are not submissive its the mean that are with this generation. So a black man cant take that! Asian culture today is stressful, even here in asia alot of divorces and deaths are the outcome! They twisted the cultures. Only India philipines and a few are still intact

Big probably is patience. Most people don't have that, most people aren't taught that. ALL Relationships should develop over a process of very important steps that are very dependent upon timing. You can't skip step 2, to get to step 5. All steps MUST be made and given the proper time to naturally develop. Kids... aren't even in the first 10, 15 maybe even 20 steps of developing a solid and healthy romanic relationship. Marriage shouldn't even been within the first 10 steps. Family values should come well before marriage because you should be very comfortable with each others family before even talking about marriage. Another big problem is these people (primarily women) that go right to talking bout marriage before you're even an exclusive item. It's craziness.

[@kandikane923]

I thought they fully got to know each others culture before they got married and didn’t take next step until they were comfortable in that area. I guess don’t know until you get married and get into to find out just how different it is. However, love should conquer all.🤷🏽‍♀️😁
