Understanding vs forgiving are two very different things. Mistakes are very different than not making your family a priority.

@brownskin1oo It’s not a woman’s job to keep a man happy or to continually stroke a man’s ego either. It’s a two-way street but society continues to push this narrative that all a man has to do is put a roof over your head, food on the table, and clothes on your back. Women have revolved however men haven’t at the same rate. Woman are requiring more substance than money. Men haven’t been taught, trained, and coerced to be better. Hence the struggle.

[@tahireed]

Wow this generation of men is so weak its crazy. Its both people's job to keep the other happy in a relationship. Thats why relationships take work.

You can tell Shannon has been burned in the past by myself. He’s given his heart to some of these women and things haven’t gone as planned. I’m sure there was wrong on both sides because I was partly to blame for my relationship’s failures as well but you’re not going to continue putting yourself in a situation that hasn’t worked for you in the past. No one knows you better than yourself. This guy is a lot older now and really just wants his peace of mind and freedom. I’m sure he’s seen and endured it all by now. I can respect that.

[@missb2182]

When you unpack situations like this, you gradually uncover that people like Shannon who value money over relationships are just fearful of what they cannot control. They go after money because of what it can give them, material items and power..Going after relationships leaves a person vulnerable with uncertainty which scares someone who need to be in control. Once Shannon is honest about what and who makes him happy and trust that person with his heart, he'll take the leap but until then, he'll make every excuse to remain single..

[@torysims5032]

And the reverse of that is a person who doesn’t mind giving up money, power and control as long as they arent alone. A person who goes from relationship to relationship because they cant be with themselves and constantly need validation from others through relationships🤷🏽 Hopefully people can find a balance- if not, pick your poison😂

[@Happysquared74]

It isn't a binary choice. I' would simply say the reverse of that is having and honoring values in your life, submitting to, and honoring the responsibilities and blessings you have been given. Plenty of monetarily successful husbands and fathers/ grandfathers out there, but the celebration of their legacies isn't in bust form, but living and breathing throughout the generations of their bloodlines. Sadly many may not understand how to seek and maintain healthy relationships with women or their children, but committing to being successful in them is a great start. In my opinion, it seems that Shannon has resigned himself to being a winner on the field and a loser off. Whereas someone like a Deion and Ocho resolved to be successful leaders in all aspects of their lives, period. Mindset is everything. @@torysims5032

[@chellegsellscars783]

This is absolutely true. It’s the reverse of the “independent woman that don’t need a man” convo.

Chad soooo so proud of you. Just found your channel through Katts interview Shannon and I am pleasantly surprised to still be here as you are a breath of fresh air. Tabou’

Shannon just made me tear up talking about providing for his grandmother. I love a man who will take care of his mother & grandmother, who have taken care of him.❤

These dudes need to stop saying you can’t lose a woman chasing money. That’s a lie.

[@barak-rocky-giles2081]

I think his point is that if you lose 1 woman chasing money, 5 more women will wind up chasing you after you get that money.

[@lornegreen6755]

Lol. If she left me bc I was working she wasn’t the one for me

It's hard to give up your peace to bring somebody into your kingdom, at least permanently.

[@movingforward-fc4lg]

Exactly

[@broncos8664]

Hard is a understatement. And to give up what you enjoy to make others happy in my opinion is the start of depression because of your not happy but making others happy how long you think that last .

One evening, after yet another one of his magnificent concerts, a world renowned pianist was approached by an admirer who had been in the audience. Obviously touched by the performance, the emotional fan grasped the pianists hand and said: "I would give my life to be able to play the piano like that ." The pianist smiled and replied "I DID."

[@brittanyb5942]

Shannon has plenty of friends. He won’t have to worry about being alone in older age 🙂

[@shernicehernandez190]

I love seeing parents be honest with themselves about lack of emotional support that they not only neglected to give their child but received from their own parents themselves.

[@KT-cr1nf]

A lot of us men won’t admit this we get so consumed with our careers and making money and we think the money will solve everything

[@barak-rocky-giles2081]

Money doesn't solve every problem BUT it does buy you more time to be able to solve those problems.

[@yoninja9164]

And it dont like Ocho said life happens you never know what will happen and you dont want to be along money cant buy health or someone who truly loves you

Shannon is so right some do what their parents did, get married, have kids and have some regrets of not pursuing their dreams. God will send you someone when he feels your ready.

He had kids though… hes saying he was a bad father because his priorities were messed up. Put career before family.

Y’all reading it wrong!! He didn’t say he don’t care about his kids. It’s his goals & getting far away from where he was growing up. To accomplish greatness you have to lose something else. Look at Brady, Jordan, Shaq, etc… they all lost wives once retired

[@darksideon]

Look at Lebron, He's one of the GOATs and he's an amazing parent.

[@barak-rocky-giles2081]

Where are they reading it wrong? You said the same thing. In order to be great at something, you have to make it a priority. The people you mentioned all made their careers a priority and it lead to their success in that area but possibly failure in other areas. We all know that every decision has consequences. It's just the way of the world.
