Marsau made more sense in his one conversation with Tricia's ex than he has the whole time he's been on the show..lol. go head Marsau!

[@kenniaroberts8873]

Especially when he speaks with his wife.

[@valentino4411]

​@@kenniaroberts8873 100% completely agree with you!

[@Patricia_Philidor]

@@valentino4411 😂😂😂

[@fit2bjustme]

😅😅😅😅😅

[@tatianah2999]

This is EXACTLY what I said 😭😭😭

[@valentino4411]

Deep down inside, Tricia's ex feels guilty that Ken stepped up when he was slacking but it comes out as ressentment. He should be thanking Ken!

[@tcooper9708]

Truth, but ego makes it hard 2 admit.... shame....

[@angelajohnson2528]

Agree 💯💯

[@valentino4411]

Marsau did a bait and switch with Tricia's ex lol. He thought he was coming to expose Tricia but he actually exposed himself.

[@daniej.b6278]

Marsau was the star of this episode for me. I love when men hold other men accountable. Low key he actually does this alot but most times he sound self righteous this time he was just spitting facts. I enjoyed this.

[@roddaniels3499]

He never checked Martel liked that?

[@daniej.b6278]

@@roddaniels3499 there are scenes where Marsau hold Martell accountable with Maurice. Not necessarily about Melody but about other stuff like his license and his business issues.

[@757IsMyHomebase]

Marsua acts for the cameras. He has a lot of sense. When he puts all jokes aside, he drops some intelligible information.

[@tabbyc3970]

I wish he would hold Martell accountable like that. He did good but his mention of Mel being like the bum who left his family is crazy

[@fid1223]

Marsua handled that like a champ. I was shook! I was rooting for him through the TV!

[@Loveacuban]

The Fletchers can both be looking at the exact same bank statement & feel 2 different ways. Nell can think ‘I’m below my magic number; we’re broke’ and Chris can think ‘We good; Let’s take a vacation’. Everyone looks at money differently.

[@valentino4411]

Yeah I agree. Nell likely is looking at the individual withdrawals/transactions that's causing the balance on the account & Chris is probably only looking at the balance with little interest to caring about the details. Nell knows/understands how much of those withdrawals are linked to loans to the kids and truly knows the overall impact it's causing to their overall savings. If you have a partner who only looks at the bottomline and doesn't care as much about the details, that can cause a difference in perspectives too.

[@MyTyme2Shyne-1Tyme]

Yeah a lot of people have a set balance they don't like to go below

[@valentino4411]

Tricia's ex thinks she should pay 50% of divorce bills but I guarantee you he dont think he should pay 50% of the bills to raise/support their kids.

[@757IsMyHomebase]

Marsua is a very wise man. I've seen one of his sit-down interviews with Carlos, and now this scene. I believe what he giving on the show is for tv. He loves getting the folks spun up.

[@diyyahfontenot1072]

Tricia lost her PARENTS AND SISTER IN SIX MONTHS 😢😢😢

[@757IsMyHomebase]

Nell refusing therapy when she's the one upset and crying is funny to me. Folks who really need therapy are the ones who think everyone but self need it.

[@valentino4411]

Maurice/Marsau's dad was jailed at some point, right? Maybe he strongly defended Tricia cause it reminded him of what his mom went thru.

[@yourluckychanceful]

Tricia's ex had a lot of nerve asking her to pay a cent toward the divorce filing. I feel the same as you about Tricia paying for it. I would have done it a long time ago.

[@Patricia_Philidor]

So I can’t believe I am going to ay this, I was so impressed with Marsau and what he was sharing with Trisha’s soon to be ex husband! 😱. WOW! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@valentino4411]

Deep down inside, Chris enjoys being the good cop & he subconsciously allows Nell to be the bad cop too often, which adds to her stress. The kids see this dynamic between the two of them & they take advantage of this because they know Chris will often say yes to them even though Nell already told them no. Even adult kids use that tactic which they learned when they were younger. When mom says "no", then dad should align with her at least 90% of the time so she doesnt feel like she's by herself. Most of her stress is coming from feeling like she's alone when it comes to creating fair boundaries for the adult kids.

[@preciousodahunsi9003]

Well said!

[@Byrd5240]

Absolutely Right !!!!

[@valentino4411]

​@@preciousodahunsi9003thank you!

[@Gentle-hn4mc]

So disappointed in Chris.

[@valentino4411]

@Gentle-hn4mc he was way too quiet at that therapy session. He should've stood up for her more. When the kids see this, they will continue their behaviors cause they will think theyre right & shes wrong smh

[@akaomplished8776]

Dr. Francis has a KZbin Channel where he features didn't therapists weekly. He also goes live often and discusses topics related to MFT.

[@valentino4411]

Chris, when the kids sneak behind their mom's back to ask you for money, they are still taking $$ from Nell cause you/her are one team/unit.

[@glowing808]

This was the best episode since the show aired.

[@nellie15]

I believe Nell needs therapy the most because her behavior might be the reason why her kids act the way they act. And I agree with her that those are grown adults, but I can also see that as parents, her and Chris never give them that emotional love that they needed they replace it with monetary love. Nell needs to heal her inner child because her kids are not fully THE issue, they are just a symptom.

[@blkgm7005]

Agreed!!! Like they didn’t get here alone. And there are clearly some communication issues with Chris…look at the mess with his other dtr.

[@yolandabyers3543]

So PROUD of Marsau! 🎉 He was excellent in this episode.

[@dotwilli5154]

HEY KEMPIRE💜I AGREE, AT LEAST BRING DR. FRANCIS ON MORE OFTEN. IT CAN TAKE THE SHOW TO ANOTHER LEVEL.

[@kissthefro25]

lol Chris done told us before he tells them kids NO when they ask for him for money. That’s why he giggled when Nell said she be giving them money. Nell is overly stressed because she allows herself to be over burdened with her kids problems. They can talk to Chris about anything but he seems to have set a firm boundary with money. And two things can be true at the same time! Nell NEEDS therapy to handle her emotions properly AND to have effective relationships with her children. Her children ALSO needs to stop depending on their parents to assist them.

[@blkgm7005]

🎯🎯🎯. They seem to be on different pages and that stokes the firey issues woth their kids…look at what has happened with Chris’s dtr😔. They all need therapy, healing and some better communication skills. Their way of handling things have them adult kids on edge and afraid to even talk to them…son depressed and his dtr abandoned and ostracized. A mess

[@abubarrie88]

It hurts Nell’s feelings because in telling her kids they need to grow up and stop using her as an atm and handle their own problems and create boundaries their response was to say she needs to go to therapy or counseling or they should all go to family counseling which she and Chris will no doubt be the ones paying for it.

[@Jays81305girl]

Why does Nell seem more stressed about the finances than Chris? And she's unhinged, Sis could most definitely benefit from therapy. She's such an old school southern Mama. Smh

[@kissthefro25]

Because Chris tells them kids no lol

[@QB-Marhadebe]

Trish husband is toxic

[@tcooper9708]

Marsau handled that so well, I actually found him attractive. Then, I smacked myself... I'm good now!!!!!!

[@IamTiaB]

😂😂😂😂

[@Byrd5240]

Lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@LadyKwenAdi]

Bravo Marsau 👏 For the first time in the history of Love and Marriage Huntsville, you got a WOW! from Kempire 🙌 Marasu was indeed the star of this episode 🤩

[@GoodGurl50]

Nell is an Aquarius mom. Anybody with one of those already knows how tough the Fletcher household is.

[@diyyahfontenot1072]

Lord be with us!!! Now that I know that my heart goes out to them 😢😢

[@valentino4411]

I think that's a little unfair to Nell though. I think we are seeing Nell at her most frustrated point when her anger and impatience has built up over years of taken care of them. Their kids are above 25 years old. One of the things Nell said was that she loans out money constantly but it's not paid back nor do the kids find other ways besides money to reciprocate her kindness. When u loan out money constantly & it never gets paid back, it causes you to build up a wall with anger, especially if the person doesnt find other non-monetary ways to make you feel like youre not doing all of the giving while they take, take, take. The kids high level of neediness is what's causing most of the family issues. She can listen more but I think she cuts them off cause she knows they are going to get the same sob story like a broken record. Even the kids admitted that her boundaries were fair at the therapy session.

[@757IsMyHomebase]

If I were in Trisha's shoes, I would have paid the $400 and cut my ties.

[@GoodGurl50]

Nell is not a safe space for her kids. You can give truth in love and i don’t think she knows how to do that. If you’re already in a jam the last thing anybody wants is to be kicked while they’re down and barked at. What she says may be right but she’s emotionally immature and overreacts and her message gets lost in her terrible delivery.

[@diamcole]

She reminds me of a lot of people who grow up in a “chew up the meat, spit out the bones” kind of household. I agree with you - in the delivery, sometimes her message is completely lost.

[@blkgm7005]

I can only imagine the things she has said to those kids, name calling, etc…that glimpse of how they cussed out her step dtr for that first family dinner scene told me all I needed to know. I been 👀 at them sideways since

[@MagnoliaBellle]

I'm a believer in the word No. Mine mainly gets her needs. Wants are only If my budget will allow for it.

[@valentino4411]

Chris put his desires to be the "good cop" & liked ahead of supporting Nell. Each time a kid ask for $$, both should have the same response.

[@TheresaofTheWorld]

Nell only has herself to blame. Don’t bail your adult children out! They have to make their own way.

[@1020kimmy]

As I watched the scenes with Nell, I saw myself when my sons were in their teens. I had to really hear them and take a look in the mirror. It was very uncomfortable and it made my heart ache to know I caused the level of pain that I did in them. I apologized and improved myself. Sometimes our kids want us to acknowledge the pain we have caused them. I definitely would go from 0 to 100 for the simplest things. Once I began to unpack I realized it was a learned behavior that needed to stop with me. I hope she really try to change. Now Trish's ex husband is full of crap! How do you leave her and expect her to remain loyal to you. Additionally, how are you mad at Ken for picking up the slack. Obviously you are an absent dad because if you were active sir the teacher would know you. Please Marquez have several seats and sign the divorce papers. Side note, Trish's body is something I dream of but too lazy to live in the gym for...lol

[@blkgm7005]

Good for you! Bless u for being humble enuf as a mom to stop, examine yourself and making changes. It was probably a turning pt they will always remember

[@alexandrialemon]

You have know idea how loud I screamed when I heard the intro music!! AYEEEE TWERK SESSION 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

[@Byrd5240]

Nell's intervention was so unfair. Why did Nell end up looking like the bad guy. ? All she wants is for her kids to grow the hell up and start being responsible for their own lives. That message did not resonate in that therapy session. It was all about Nell not listening ? Give me a break. I'm sick of grown kids leaning on their parents for everything. Nell is just sick of all of them. That's her only issue. Chris is no support for her.

[@christianab429]

Exactly! Those kids are grown and her issue with them is completely valid.

[@tabbyc3970]

Yea they gaslight the heck out of her

[@valentino4411]

Nell knows each family member well & she probably knew going into it that most of the blame would be put on her which is one of reasons why she was hesitant to participate in the first place.

[@lauradunn-xy8mw]

Well said totally agree.

[@rainbowlove5391]

I agree 💯. This generation thinks they're privileged. Get a dam job! Parents spending their damn retirement helping their asses!

[@dawnbillingslea4143]

The other issue is most business owners do not have a retirement or health insurance. They have to be intentional about those things because as business owners, they are considered independent contractors. With that being said, I understand the stress of seeing lump sums of money going out often with this many children. I agree…Nell is reacting on something deeper too!! At the end of the day, most parents try to support their kids and sometimes to a fault! You don’t help your kids by not holding them responsible and / or accountable. If you come to their rescue every time they encounter a problem, they will never learn the lesson! At this point, I don’t pay legal fees, for drugs and alcohol and what is considered many other regular expenses such as rent, utilities… I’ll get you this…TRY TELLING YOUR “GROWN KID” to sit down to meet with you to go over their pay and bills to see how you can help them to manage their finances better. WATCH THEIR REACTION!! And on that note, allow their reaction to help you with yours!😊 I did not ask my parents for things I wanted for myself for this reason. I did not want my dad asking me any questions about how much money I made, bank accounts…

[@MagnoliaBellle]

You living it up in Atlanta. Have fun

[@tcooper9708]

Sadly, I grew up with a generation , that didn't value therapy. They are in the pull yourself with your bootstraps/ pull up your panties and move on kinda folks. I think therapy can be extremely helpful. We need to change the mindset.

[@valentino4411]

Yes, Nell can listen more but I think she cuts them off cause she knows they're going to give same sob story to rationalize why they need $$.

[@valentino4411]

I'm Team Nell. The kids run to her for help first, then once they run her well dry, they run to dad. They need to become more financially independent.

[@evrydayppl6296]

I agree, you can’t keep running to Nell for money( big money in my opinion) and NOT ATTEMPT TO PAY HER BACK???? Noooo, they are messing with Nell and Chris’ future plans. Plus it’s just not right, no bank would tolerate that. Paying Nell back is interest free

[@valentino4411]

​@@evrydayppl6296Exactly!! The reason why Nell doesn't listen to the kids & gets frustrated is because she already knows each kid will have the same sob story that they used previously in order to change her mind about loaning money to them but she refuse to bulge so they run to their dad cause they know he's easy on them. It's easy for Chris to listen cause they go to her first with this long story and exhaust her and Chris likely just says yes without requiring them to provide explanations for why they constantly need help. I largely him.

[@diamcole]

Team Nell, which 100% includes therapy - in my very humble opinion. I wish it wasn’t as stigmatized. If we can care for our physical health (book your annual check ups, y’all) then we should care for our mental health too. Trauma has a way of lingering and showing up where you least expect it.

[@queendom8752]

Atl got in that tail about that intro music and you brought it back ‼️‼️‼️ thankyou i enjoyed you at city winery atlanta 🫶🏾

[@tyronesuber7602]

You can’t be a stand-up guy sleeping with a married woman

[@johannahalexander2915]

Not surprised the guy left Marsau saying that he will figure it out on his own. Marsau is a great lecturer on everything that is wrong with folk. He was not able to answer dudes questions because he has never experienced any of that. Dr Francis would have been better.

[@blkgm7005]

THIS!!!! Bc how can he have ANYTHING productive to say when his reality is “it’s cheaper to keep her” while treating his wife like a stupid child that he cant stand. That’s just as harmful for kids to see and observe.

[@valentino4411]

Maybe it's just me but why does it seem like the main male castmates are getting way more screentime than the females this season?

[@roddaniels3499]

Ck is doing it

[@IamTiaB]

I just realized that 😳

[@valentino4411]

​@roddaniels3499 Mel, Kimmie, & Trisha have barely been seen this season. Usually CK uses their drama & storylines to boost viewership. This season it feels like I've seen more of Trisha, Sunny, & Destiny in total when compared to Kimmie, Mel, & Trisha in total. It just seems a little odd that the men, even the supporting male cast, have been seen more than the women.

[@washinc1]

Honestly the men is a lil more refreshing than seeing the women argue back and forth about nothing. Plus Trisha and Destiny were the only women that seem to have storylines at this time.

[@valentino4411]

​@@washinc1I completely agree.. good points.

[@lynwill9946]

There is a strong rumor that Marquez is living with another woman, and they have a baby👀

[@MagnoliaBellle]

He hasn't been on any other show. I don't think the Whitlows appreciated him.

[@kaiacollette]

I feel for Nel. I’d be stressed out and upset too. If the ADULT kids dont want to hear her mouth…don’t ask her for money AND not pay it back. I bet Nel would be different if everytime they came to her was about family and fellowship vs. I need money 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@valeriecraig4015]

I love Dr. Francis!

[@fit2bjustme]

Trisha most definitely was at Martell's house, but since it was during the time when Ken was chasing her, she doesn't want him to find out that she was talking to Martell too but Ken jumped to the top because its clear he was willing to take care of her and her children. Martell was struggling to take care of himself when he first got a divorce, so he damn sure wasn't able to take care of Trish and her kids.

[@blkgm7005]

I found it interesting that she had more chemistry with Hoetell than she does with Ken. He’s a safe bet and the caretaker as unsaid. It’s too bad that it seems she’s gone mess him up bc she don’t really like him like that 😢

[@getreworkd]

Trish ex is very typical 😂 blame her and the man that’s there. Just say you a deadbeat sir. Trish crazy as hell for not filing on her own imo. There’s no way I would’ve gone 5 whole years even if he wasn’t in agreement. Boy bye. $400 is nothing to my peace

[@scbrina3132]

Markus does not seem that bright either IMO.

[@valentino4411]

That pretty face & those pretty eyes don't make up for that not too bright mind...lol.

[@Gentle-hn4mc]

Nell doesn’t need therapy. She needs her money back.

[@valeriecraig4015]

Right!

[@deeblock1931]

Parents want less disappointment and added stress, and more reasons to celebrate their young adults🤦🏾‍♀️ The kids are shifting from her battered ATM syndrome to how she communicates with them. Iisten to your parents' advice or suffer YOUR consequences, Point, Blank, Period‼️ I bet her communication style and their relationships would somewhat improve if they got their ISH together.

[@southernchicshopaholic179]

I been waiting on this 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Reality_Insights_]

I Love ❤ you, Kempire. You are so Sweet.

[@shesosweet2781]

Whatever happened to Mattel’s suit line?!

[@LaDolceVita456]

Idk it’s something about Trisha🤔 her scenes are cringey!!!!! When she made the comment about “oh Ken will pay it” I was like hmm her energy is OFF. She should see a therapist.

[@muniondalenewyurk6777]

Nell wants to be perceived as a strong black woman. Therapy is considered a weakness in the black community and there is a stigma that something is wrong with you. You’re right Kemper, there is definitely a communication issue between Nell & Chris as a couple. When their adult kids ask for a large sum of money , Nell or Chris shouldn’t give them an immediate response. They should tell them they will discuss it privately and get back to them. They need to be on a United front and even if they agree to disagree it should never be known to anyone. This is how your kids or family will play you! He is always the “good cop” and Nell is always the “bad cop” ! That dynamic needs to change. I also didn’t like how Nell kept saying they were borrowing HER money, she comes off emasculating Chris! Also that convo with her son that it was only the two of them, even though it was just the first two years of his life. How the hell would he remember their their “bond” at two years old?!! 😅 It sounds like she always kept a division between her son and Chris , like an “us against them “ mindset. I’ll bet Chris wasn’t allowed to discipline him, because he was HER child! I can see how Chris’s daughter felt like an outsider around Nell. So many women expects the man to take care of them & their child but they don’t give them the authority, mine and ours mindset. I hope that Nell and her family continues family counseling and individual counseling. Not just for the show.

[@Bluesalleyway]

Shelley Duval passed away also 😢

[@lauradunn-xy8mw]

I feel like I watched a big long therapy session instead of an episode of love and marriage Huntsville. Don’t get me wrong. It’s OK but it seems like it’s a lot of that every episode now it’s weird this season.

[@LaDolceVita456]

Nell’s behavior makes Me think maybe she was a side chick. Just like Kimmie. & I Oop🤭

[@perfectpeace123]

There was some overlapping in the relationships…. But they swear up and down they are not side chicks. 😏 The divorces were not finalized.

[@jipsi0418]

Ehh... Dr. Francis is confrontational and argumentative enough to seem like he might-could deliver some genuine advice AND to be good for reality TV.

[@msveejay75]

This show has been a bit boring to me, as of late.
