I don’t entertain the 50/50 conversation. Percentages change, seasons change but loyalty and commitment shouldn’t. @Nopryorwarning

Transcript

I don't believe in 50/50 relationships because if you don't have your 50, I'm willing to put up 80. Social media has turned relationships into this scoreboard where everybody is keeping track. I paid this, so you pay that. I did this for you, so what are you doing for me? That's your responsibility, not mine. That's not partnership, that's an invoice. Because what happens when life actually happens? Your man could be up right now paying every bill, taking you on trips, buying you whatever you want. And five years from now, he makes one bad business decision and loses everything. Then what? Now he's not prayed for anymore because his bank account changed. What if he gets sick? What if you and you're the one who can't give your 50? What if one year, he has 80 and you only got 20? A real relationship is understanding that the percentages are gonna change. Sometimes I might carry 70 while you carry 30. Sometimes you might carry 90 while I'm getting back on my feet. And a lot of millionaires I know have lost everything once and made it all back. That's why I'm not judging a man by one bad season. I'm watching his discipline, his work ethic, his faith, his ability to rebuild. Because if your loyalty is to a man has today, you might walk away from somebody who knows exactly how to build it again. That's why you better choose somebody based on character, loyalty, work ethic, faith, how they handle problems for you while everything is going right. Anybody can love the winning version. But can you love the weather changes? The creator's bio link points to the AI Digital Product Summit, which is a product being promoted.
