is not something that
I can answer.
And it's like,
"Hey, if we want
to be on this team,
then we kind of have
to deal with that."
Whatever. We talked
about it ad nauseam
when it was me,
and that's what's
frustrating to me,
is that--like,
I mean, I don't know
why you're even
talking about this.
It's so stupid.
It's like we're not
in therapy right now.
I didn't bring it up.
But whatever.
It's, like, it's
frustrating for me.
It is.
I hear that it's
frustrating for you.
But you don't care.
Just for the record--
no, it's not
that I don't care.
For the record,
I told you that that's--
I didn't want that.
I never said that
that wasn't a part
of my job.
Right, but--
And also--wait, hold on.
It never was
a part of your job
until this year.
Yes, it was.
It was always
a part of my job.
That you were
gonna go away
for 3 1/2 months?
Then you should have
told me that when
I stopped touring.
I did, and then I went away
for two and a half months,
and you know what?
When an opportunity
like that happens,
it happens,
plus you're forgetting
something that's
a big deal,
is that at the time when
we first got together,
you didn't like
touring anymore.
It wasn't something
that you wanted
to be doing anymore,
you didn't like
the lifestyle.
You wanted to try
something new,
so it's not like
I just said to you,
"Don't do this anymore."
But when we had all
those talks, you said--
Let me--
can I just finish?
I said to you,
"Why don't you explore
some other things,
some, like, different
ways for you"--
Stop doing that.
It's disgusting.
I'm like, "Well, why don't you
just explore some different
things in your career?"
And it's something
that you should be
setting up now
if you want to try
a different kind
of lifestyle.
We danced a slow dance.
I liked his hands.
His hands seemed
really strong to me.
I wanted to stay there.
But I really liked
his lips. Ha!
They were
really soft and...
and I wanted some more.
Ha ha ha ha!
Of course, I didn't
let him know that
right away, no,
but I really enjoyed
that first kiss.
You don't have
to tell me.
What do you mean?
Because...
you were in love with me.
Oh, stop it.
[Both laugh]
That's not true.
My mother was there.
I was not all over you.
It was a physical thing
at first.
The dancing, when he
held me close...
it was physical,
and it didn't bother me.
I could feel his...
I could feel him.
Ha ha ha ha!
And I used to think
to myself,
"Why am I not pushing
this man away
"and slapping the heck
out of him, you know?
He really shouldn't be
holding me that close."
But I didn't mind it.
I liked it.
The sexual attraction
was very intense...
and when I met him,
he was married.
Uh-oh.
I don't know what...
[Chuckles]
And told me
he wasn't married.
Right?
Right.
I'm ashamed to say that,
that I fought for him,
and I shouldn't have
'cause he was
a married man.
He just went along
with his life again.
Ha ha ha ha!
Because I'm
his fourth wife.
Speak.
Yeah. I don't know
what to say.
Ha!
You're the one talking.
I don't what--
I don't know, um...
I don't know. Heh!
FATIMA:
Anythingand everything he could
do to make me smile,
he'd do it,
and I don't know.
All of a sudden,
something just said
something's not right.
And we had gone
to a wedding,
and it was a little chilly
that day, so he gave me
his jacket,
and in his jacket,
he had his cell phone.
Plenty of times before,
where I've never looked
through it,
I never was suspicious
of anything,
and something just said,
"Pick it up and look at it."
the phone, and I put it down
'cause I said,
"There's nothing in here,
put it down," and something
said, "Pick it back up."
And I picked it back up
and I started to really
look through it,
and I found some
very disturbing
text messages,
extremely disturbing.
The text would say, um,
uh, "Oh, when," um,
oh, um,
"Are you very sexual?"--
I'm sorry.
I'm a little embarrassed
to even say it,
to repeat it,
but, um, "Oh, are you
going to suck my...
dick?" "Yes," and all
of this other stuff,
very--
OK, I'm gonna stop you.
Very graphic,
it's very graphic.
Um...yeah, it's hard.
It's hard for me
to even just say.
It was a greedy nature,
I guess you can say,
me just inviting
or taking upon myself
to, um...
take liberties that were
presented to me.
So I guess, you know,
in the name of me
not thinking...
too far ahead,
it was more of, like,
temporary satisfaction,
you know?
So, "Hey, oh,
I can do this?
Well, why not do it?"
Or we can get done
or, you know, I might
suggest something.
I might, you know, write
a check that my ass
shouldn't be cashing.
FATIMA:
But it was very graphic.
It was just like,
"Oh, is your p*ssy wet?"
you know,
and pictures were
being sent...
back and forth.
I mean, I saw a lot.
I saw a lot.
Most things that
most women wouldn't have
ever even known about,
and that's the type
of situation ...
[Sighs]
And I hated him
for making me feel
like that.
Truly, I hated him
for what he did...
'cause I never did
anything.
To tell you truthfully,
there was a part of me
that was taken away.
He took a certain piece
of me away, you know,
so I couldn't be,
like, the happy,
bubbly person anymore.
I had to be the...
the b*tch.
I had to all of a sudden
become that b*tch, to say,
"Well, if you want this
to work, this is what
you're gonna need to do,
"because it's no--I've done
everything that I could,
"I can right now to show you
that I want it to work.
"You have absolutely
showed me that you don't
want it to work,
"so now it's time for you
to show that you do,
"and I don't mean, like,
by giving me flowers
"or telling me
that you love me.
It's bullshit.
It means nothing."
[Dog groans]
JOE:
You have hadrelationships, I've
had relationships,
before marriage,
after marriage,
where that was a big issue
in the relationship.
The trust.
The trust.
"Where you going?"
Or calling people,
everybody calling
all the time.
"Where you been?
Where you been?
Where you going?
"Who you with?
What are you doing?
Who's there?"
We don't have any
of that stuff.
No looking
at text messages,
of who you called,
no checking your story
to make sure you really were
with Jimmy at the ball game.
Yeah, we don't get
involved in that.
I don't think I would
ever want to be
in a relationship
where I felt like that.
That's why my
first relationship
didn't work,
so I would rather be
single, you know,
than have to deal
with trying to run
after someone to see
or find out where
they are or they're
lying to me.
I just couldn't be
in that kind of
a relationship.
That is the worst thing
in a relationship,
is have sex
with another person.
You can have conversation,
you can enjoy another
