THIS ONE MADE JAI CRY! HARDY- WAIT IN THE TRUCK (FT. LAINEY WILSON)

[@T-Rockets_Viral_Vibes]

Ladies and gentlemen that's a real example of how a man reacts when his girl is crying and emotional. Bravo half and bravo to jai for showing your emotions. It takes a lot of courage and it's beautiful regardless if it's a sad emotion 😍 it's healthy to cry 😢 ❤

Unfortunately I can relate too Jai 😢♥️ Definitely if you’re a woman who’s going through this type of way please get out of that relationship because it seriously won’t change!

[@grammar4341]

I was in an abusive marriage for 12 years. My kids saw their dad hitting me and screamed for him to stop. It took me a long time to get the strength to leave him. It wasn’t until he started abusing the kids that I left him. I was given full custody and I left the state with my kids. I have now been married to the most wonderful man for 25 years. He helped me raise my kids and never lifted a hand to any of us. I never denied my ex visitation but he had to come to them and they were supervised visits.

This song still makes me tear up. I was getting ready to leave my house to testify at a trial to send my ex to prison and this song randomly came on. I waited and listened to it all the way through before leaving. I took it as a sign that everything was going to be ok. ❤️

[@karenhuffines6817]

I am truly grateful that I found y'all. I am 64 years old. In 1980, my ex-husband put a gun to my head after 4 years of abuse. My first response was, thank you Lord, the terror was over. But the (Lord) had other plans for me. I survived the night and went into hiding. That was 43 years ago and I still look over my shoulder. I know where he is, but I pray he does not know where I am. I have been happily married for 40 years. I have raised 3 great children and have 6 grandchildren. God is good! Thank you for sharing your story and letting me share mine. ❤

The other night we watched them perform this song on the CMA awards, and I had never heard it before.

[@ai4kk]

" I just sat on the porch, smoking one of his cigarettes and waited for the cops to come" has to be one of the most badass lines in country music, right up there with "you could have heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and locked the door".

13 years, and by the grace of God, my son and I escaped. I wasn't allowed to drive, he'd convinced his family I was crazy, and he would even get hired at the same places I worked so he could track my every move. My precious son and I saw a lot of violence, alcoholism, and hatred. It took me two years, but God gave me an opportunity, and I never looked back. What I lost in that house with that man was 13 years of my life, but what I gained from leaving him is immeasurable. My lovely Sister, my heart goes out to you for what you've experienced at the hands of another. And you're so right- it is absolute insecurity and cowardice. But you, you are a warrior. To anyone experiencing abuse: find help. Get yourself and your kids to a safe place. Do whatever you have to- because it won't ever change. You are stronger and braver than you know. And you deserve better. ❤

I'm 57 and this song took my back to being 17, pregnant and beaten so badly by my first husband. My parents had moved away and I thought I had no one. I found out a few days later that I did have people who loved me as my parents came as soon as I called and they welcomed me with open arms. Been married now for 27 years to an amazing and kind man. I became a very strong woman, have worked in corrections for over 24 years with some of the most dangerous men (death row) in my state and yet this song took me right back to that time when I was at my weakest point. A time when I didn't have the courage to leave, when I thought it was my fault, a time when I thought I didn't have any support and a time when I could have died and my baby would have too. That night changed my life. I hadn't cried over this is so many years and here I was bawling. This song is amazing. One day I pray no woman is ever abused but this story happens everyday. Please, if you are in a situation, reach out. You may think you are all alone but trust me, you have support. Maybe not from your family as I did but from other survivors. Getting out is critical.

God bless Half and the men like him and my husband ❤️ once a man hits a woman, he won't stop 🙏 We don't want to talk about it! As abused women (or men) we don't want people to have that look in our private lives, our 1st reaction is to protect him (or her) for some reason and make excuses for them and say "oh you know how clumsy I am I hurt myself doing this or that" people who know you aren't stupid though..1st step as an abused woman (or man) is to admit the abuse is happening and stop defending the abuser..

Jai I was crying with you. I went through 2 years of some horrible shit. This was 2000-2002. I later found out he died in 2014 & I'll have to admit I was relieved to hear it. No more looking over my shoulder. Love ya Jai.

WOMAN never ever think you are alone and or feel like you have to be in a situation of abuse. There are millions of people (who will maybe not go this far) but will do anything to help you get out. Do not be afraid to ask for help please!

[@brandonenglund7516]

I love the way you both start bobbing in unison. Absolutely incredibly written song and one hell of a great song-story.

[@shane662010]

The first time I heard this song I had to pull my car over and stop. I put my hazards on and just sat and listened and smiled and got teary eyed. This song is definitely on my playlist

[@terribenton9885]

I think I may have already commented on this reaction, but if not, you guys are awesome! Since you liked this so much, please search for the CMA awards performance of this song. It is absolutely incredible!

[@brendaokuda2158]

As many times as I have listened to this song, I've yet to make it through without crying. We need to pass some laws protecting men who step in & help women & children in these situations. As you & I...& millions of other women know, sometimes the System fails. Men like this are absolute heroes. He could have taken her away, but the creep would have just taken another woman & done even worse. JS

Jai is such a beautiful soul idk why anyone would want to hurt her. That just breaks my heart into pieces. She is so cute, I wish I could hug her :(

[@Wrexxxx]

The more powerful the song got, the more it started tapping on that heart! The choir at the end straight up brought the feels!

[@anitasmith7764]

Girl I feel you 100%! I was also in an abuusive relationship with a newborn when I got 2 ribs broke and my lung punctured my a man who towered over me, with my 3 month old son 3 feet away! I tear up hearing this too! Especially when he starts singing “Have Mercy on me Lord” ! When you pour your heart out to someone and give your all to them, and they put their hands on you over a simple disagreement. Blows my mind! An amazing song and an amazing reaction you two! Can’t wait to see more! Just found you all!!

[@Michellef1117]

I was an abused wife and I seriously have chills. I have never heard this song before and this really has me having flashbacks.... Jai it's so odd and comforting to have so much in common with you since we've never met. Half it's amazing that you are such a true gentleman to Jai, I haven't learned how to allow a man to be like that with me so I stay single... So much love to you both.

[@janeforbes8911]

Michelle, perhaps it's time to learn to trust again? Not all men are like that, they are the few. I've had bad experience too. Met my current husband 17 yrs ago. We were just friends for two years before we began dating. I'm so grateful I got the courage to date him & then marry him two years after that! A man that's my best friend and treats me great & with respect. Of course, we have our squabbles, what married couple doesn't? LOL NO VIOLENCE has ever occurred! Stay strong young lady!!!

[@Michellef1117]

@@janeforbes8911 I absolutely agree. I've been in short term relationships but if they do something that my ex did I panic and leave. If I make a small mistake that would usually end up with me being unconscious I can't handle it and leave. For me personally it's better I stay single but seeing Half and other good men absolutely give me hope for others.

[@janeforbes8911]

@@Michellef1117 Perhaps you need to learn to trust in yourself again too? We are all humans & make mistakes. The things that leave you scared that would have ended in violence is NOT YOUR FAULT! It was his! Normal people don't result to violence when the dishes aren't done when he thinks they should or whatever it was that triggered him. It was him NOT YOU!! You said seeing Half & Jai gave you hope for others. Michelle, there IS HOPE for you too sweetheart. Give yourself the chance ❤

[@evaneason6906]

@@Michellef1117 I'm sorry for whatever u went through. Trust me there are plenty of men out here that haven't and will never lay a mean hand on a woman. Sure y'all make us angry but no real man would ever abuse a woman, only a COWARD would angrily took a fragile female.

[@nodixiechk]

There's millions of us out here who surrender ourselves to the hands of a man in the name of love. It's been 32 years now for me, but the scars will always be a vivid memory. This song when I first heard it, brought to the surface the fear of dieing and the strength to live for my 2yr old child. I made it through that time in my life, by God's hands. God protect the women who need to hear "wait in the truck"

[@potooleftl]

Amazing emotional song and should be song of the year. Jai's strength and openness at times like these are giving many hope.

[@juryikjhgf5867]

The live version at the AMC 2022 awards show really shows the range of their voices if y’all want to check that out. Just amazing.

[@DaniGerbe14]

JAI you're BEAUTIFUL❤ This song had all the feels Salvation, Redemption, Sacrifice and Rejuvenation! Lord i'm sure i'm on your watch list because that was satisfying to a certain degree!!!! There is honor and sacrifice for Country but this felt like it was for humanity❤

[@D_Chess]

Baby Jai made me tear up watching her react. Can tell she has been through it, and now has a solid man that will hold her up, and hold em both down.

[@tombiehler4932]

Jai, you're so right, it's a cowardly act. Hold your head up high and keep moving forward. Your emotions brought a tear to my eyes! You guys rock!

[@patricianixon7674]

I have to say you have a very beautiful child y'all are very blessed a big happy birthday week

[@Sean.Tid23art]

The way he immediately tried to help her made me cry because that's him proving he cares for her. I found my angel and I'm so glad I did. I was already headed to another physically abusive relationship when I found him. This song strikes a huge nerve and made me cry the first time I heard it, too.

[@FitforFortune]

I cried with you... being a survivor also. It's easy for an abuser to brainwash and tear you down until you no longer have the confidence you used to have to leave those types of situations. Shout out to the support systems out there who can help wake you up from those nightmares. Sending those positive vibes over the screen!

[@timwhite4885]

I have to say Jai is looking so awesome. She’s got such a glow about her. And she is rockin her eye make up even with her shirt she got it going like there’s no tomorrow. I love y’all channel and enjoy watching y’all together !!!

[@lisaharrison5397]

It’s one of my favorite songs by him. It hits home. ✨✌️💜🎶

[@leannjent51]

Never heard this song until now but I knew it was gonna be deep by the title. I know what it means when someone tells you to wait in the truck. Stay strong Jai!! ♥️

[@Arielwente]

If you’re watching this, I hope you have a wonderful day ❤️🫶🏻

[@ConnieWalther-f1h]

After 15 years in an emotionally and eventually a physically abusive marriage, I was finally able to walk away. Over the last 20 years I've dated here and there but have not been able to convince myself to open up enough to actually allow myself to be in a relationship. I've been fine on my own, but seeing the way you immediately showed such genuine concern and love for your wife and stopped the world to tend to her needs gives me hope then maybe I will be able to trust someone eventually. I recently found your channel and I love the way you two vibe off of each other. Such an inspiration to see amazing couples like you doing great things in the world!
