00:00Previously on Love and Marriage Huntsville.
00:03What you been up to?
00:04Arianne.
00:05Mm.
00:06Yeah, trying to get her to nursing school.
00:09You investing in your woman?
00:11I bet her.
00:11It's getting heavy.
00:13Yeah, we good.
00:15More serious, like?
00:17Like, you know, she keep on playing cards
00:19while she's going to get that ring type thing.
00:20Yeah.
00:21I want you to take that thing off your head.
00:22That's what I really want you to do.
00:24I'm trying to prepare you for when you go to college.
00:27You're going to be meeting young girls.
00:28Well, it's a good thing you don't go to college for girls.
00:30Well, you're not the fun parent.
00:32And I can understand why MJ wants to leave.
00:35I had a conversation with Marquez.
00:37Me and Marquez definitely in a better space.
00:39You also have to give somebody the chance to change.
00:44Everything.
00:45I don't think.
00:47What we?
00:49Y'all want to talk about something while we're here?
00:51I kind of do.
00:53I don't know about Trish.
00:54You got questions.
00:55If you haven't met me.
00:55Well, you asked a question, sir.
00:57Calm down.
00:57You came in to ask the question?
00:59I came in to drop my daughter off.
01:01Marquez is going back and forth with Sharon,
01:04and it's starting to piss me off.
01:06I need you to relax, bro.
01:07I am right.
01:07No, you're not, because you're showing out right now.
01:09You came in here with someone.
01:10I didn't come in here with nothing other than
01:12to drop my daughter off.
01:13Did he not?
01:13Don't bring her into it.
01:14She don't even know nothing.
01:16She don't know nothing about me.
01:17She don't know nothing about you.
01:18If she met you four years ago, she don't know you.
01:20No, you don't.
01:21You don't know me for real.
01:22We keep it moving all day, all night.
01:28Yeah.
01:29Ain't no stopping us.
01:31Drop that.
01:32You know, you know.
01:36We keep it moving all day, all day, all night, yeah, yeah, all day, all night, yeah, ain't no stopping us.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Up in the club, you know we got you mousy, up in the club, you know we got you mousy, up in the club, you know we got you mousy, up in the club.
02:06You know we got you mousy, you know we got you mousy, mousy, mousy, mousy, and I'm shaking like you're trying to get the crowd, I said shaking like you're trying to get the food, uh, now baby tune it up and boot it up and wind it back down, uh, wind it back down, baby wind it back down, baby wind it back down, now I'm sure you're good.
02:21Hey, what's going on?
02:25I didn't know you was going to be dapper though.
02:27Bro, listen, this dude coming out in a t-shirt, I'm like, bro, you know it's cold out there, right?
02:31I just got off the road.
02:32So after all the drama and with, uh, Marquez and the chaos he caused with Sharon, um, we just need a little break.
02:41Definitely, so we're meeting up with some of our friends, Kimmy and Maurice, and I think they've been through similar situations, you know, so it'll be good to get their insight and try to figure out how we can fix our issues.
02:51So what's going on in you guys' world?
02:53We just recently finished renovating our house downstairs, so we're at an Airbnb.
02:59Oh man, I don't like staying nowhere but at home.
03:02Got to know each other a little bit better.
03:05Oh yeah!
03:06Right, so I know y'all came to the party, the backyard party, y'all see?
03:11For the most part, handled myself, you know, kind of well.
03:15When you're not present, you allow me, the outsider guy, to build a relationship with you not being there.
03:21You don't feel like you owe me anything.
03:23I feel like I'm compensating for you didn't do.
03:25But from your perspective, like, I guess you was in a situation with the divorce, so Marquez, at some point, this has to get resolved.
03:36I don't like going back and forth, I don't like arguing, I really don't like even being angry, like it takes me to another level mentally that I just don't like being.
03:45So I reached out to him, of course, 30 minutes, of course, as a shouting match.
03:49Yeah.
03:50But Fanny was like, you know what, I'm going to make sure that at the end of this conversation, we're on good terms.
03:56And by the end of it, we were good.
03:59But it's like Marquez, it's one of them situations where it's so frustrating because we will have really good moments.
04:06And then he'd do what he did the other day.
04:08So the other day, Marquez said he's gonna go get Zaria.
04:12He came out of the house with my friend, Sharon, so he comes to the house.
04:16He came bursting through our door, uninvited.
04:20Was Ken there?
04:21No.
04:22So listen, as Trish and Ken are talking about Marquez just walking in, I don't even know if there can be two sides of a story on that.
04:31Like, how are you just walking in to these people's house?
04:34He felt comfortable enough, you know, he's now stepping up, he's taking care of the kids.
04:38Maybe he just got comfortable and just decided that he should walk in.
04:41He came in there while Sharon and I was talking and he immediately got hostile with her.
04:47With her? Does he know her?
04:48No.
04:49That's what she told him.
04:50She said, I've been knowing Trisha for four years.
04:52I have never seen you in my life.
04:53What was the initiate for him getting hostile?
04:55I don't know.
04:56I don't know.
04:57He just came in there with a chip on the shoulder.
04:59He came in there, like, immediately just upset for no reason.
05:03I literally just gave him a whole rundown.
05:06Because he asked me, he was like, man, how do you get along with her so well, man?
05:11And I literally told him, I was like, listen, bro, you have to learn how to compromise sometimes.
05:15Like, sometimes talk a little lower, change your tone a little bit.
05:19Stop being so aggressive in your speech.
05:21I was like, no, I was just bringing my daughter to the house.
05:22You know, he talks real aggressive and real angry.
05:24I was like, you didn't even know to bring your daughter to the house until Xavier told you.
05:27It's difficult to give advice to Kid and Trish about the Marquez situation because you've got to tread lightly when there's children involved.
05:34But my experience with Kiowa and Kimmy...
05:37You act like you haven't given me a reason to have an issue.
05:40You keep acting like I came up with this by myself.
05:43What have I done to you?
05:44All of this stuff?
05:45What have I done to you?
05:46Why do you keep saying that?
05:47What have I done to you?
05:48You're talking about...
05:49Kiowa, you have been ill towards me from day one.
05:53If you don't have to have contention, don't have it.
05:55If you can foster a good relationship, do that.
05:57You know, ultimately, you guys are still parents.
06:00And you're going to have to co-parent for the rest of your life.
06:02So it might as well be a good relationship.
06:05So he hasn't been stepping up, but he stepped up in that situation, right?
06:10Well, yeah.
06:11Okay.
06:12And I told him good.
06:13I said that was great.
06:14He did one good and one bad.
06:16A lot of the key to getting along is getting along.
06:20To me, I think that...
06:21Not to cut you off, but the thing about it is we're there every day.
06:25The kids live with us.
06:27Go to our school and ask the principal who they know.
06:30Go to the teacher and ask the teacher who comes and sits in their class.
06:33They don't see him.
06:34They see me.
06:35No matter what, he's going to be your children's father.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Right?
06:40Good, bad, or indifferent, he's going to be his father.
06:42It's how can we make sure that we do whatever it is that we can do the best possible way?
06:49And what's the best way to move forward?
06:51As a profession, I have to look at both sides of the coin, you know what I mean?
06:55Because at the end of the day, there's something that has him, you know, acting the way that he's acting.
07:00He still has to learn how to be respectful to me.
07:03Like, everybody wants me to respect the boundary as far as him being their father.
07:07Like, when do you respect the boundary of, you know, now this is...
07:10I know it might sound weird, but those are your kids, but this is my family now.
07:15And I was like, dude, I'm not trying to eliminate you as their father.
07:19You're doing that yourself by not being there.
07:23Like, it's weird.
07:24It's very weird to think that sometimes people would rather their children not like you than to like you.
07:32For them to actually like the step-parent turns out to be a problem.
07:38I don't feel like I'm doing anything wrong, but I'm constantly trying to fix the problem.
07:42I'm the one that's constantly reaching out.
07:44I'm the one that's constantly letting you throw low blows and letting you say what you want to say and not saying nothing back.
07:51Can't stop this, cream of the crop, can't top this.
07:59I'm the best of the best, number one spot on your hot list.
08:02What you think this is?
08:04It's not a game, but I play to win.
08:06Might be insane, cause I'm crazy rich.
08:08So queer, the straight jacket never fits.
08:10Kiss the ring.
08:12Cause the royalty.
08:14Kiss the ring.
08:15Hi, welcome in.
08:16Hello there.
08:17I am looking for, I guess, some dining room furniture, living room, and a couple bedrooms.
08:24Okay.
08:25Well, we do have a really great dining table over here.
08:27Okay.
08:28So today I'm meeting Destiny.
08:30I shared with her that I'm going to the furniture store.
08:32I need some furniture for my investment property.
08:35Arianne talking about moving in.
08:36I think it shows that I'm committed to her.
08:38We've made plans in terms of, you know, growing our lives together.
08:43This is a live edge table, so it's going to have a lot of great character to it.
08:47Yes, I see that.
08:48I'm going to just look throughout the store.
08:50Okay.
08:51And if I need some assistance, I'll holler back at you.
08:52Yeah.
09:01Hey.
09:02What's up?
09:03Hey, what's up?
09:04Trying to find some stuff.
09:05Good to see you.
09:06Good to see you too.
09:07I got some nice pieces up in here.
09:08It just depends on what one would be looking for.
09:10I got some...
09:11I need some things.
09:12You know, Jerrica's doing my space.
09:14Oh, really?
09:15I moved downstairs.
09:16Downstairs to where?
09:17So, remember when you came to the first location upstairs that you...
09:20You or your friend Lance was supposed to help.
09:23I know it looks like a storage.
09:25It looks like?
09:26It looks like a storage.
09:27But it's such an eclectic building.
09:29Every time a new place opens, people are converting them into boutiques, hair salons.
09:34Mine is more of a workspace, and I haven't decided if I want to open it to the public yet,
09:38but this is where I'm creating all of my products.
09:40Also got like a little store front.
09:41Correct.
09:42Oh, that's what's up.
09:43Yeah.
09:44What you looking for?
09:45So, moving Arianne and my son and her daughter into my career.
09:51I'm sorry to say what?
09:55Coming up on Love and Marriage Huntsville.
09:58I would like for my brokerage office to be done first.
10:02On getting your brokerage office done?
10:03Yes.
10:04Yeah.
10:05I mean, that's gonna be pretty soon.
10:09The thing is, you gotta see what you've done in this thing.
10:12What did you do?
10:13I didn't leave a long time ago.
10:15My dad told me on the day that we were getting married that it won't last five years.
10:21What you looking for?
10:22So, moving Arianne and my son and her daughter into my career.
10:27I'm sorry to say what?
10:29I'm moving her into my investment career.
10:33Oh.
10:34Yeah.
10:35Oh, okay.
10:36What?
10:37I'm like, wait, y'all moving in together?
10:38Nah.
10:39We can't live together until we get married or something like that.
10:41Oh, you wanna do it right.
10:42So, you gave her a ring?
10:44We're not engaged yet.
10:46Okay.
10:47You said yet.
10:48Yeah, not yet.
10:49I mean, we're looking forward to all of that.
10:50Okay.
10:51You know the steps to it.
10:52You been looking at rings?
10:53A little bit.
10:57A little bit.
10:58So, I would definitely say Arianne, she is white for material.
11:02And that's the only reason I've been pondering on that.
11:05Because she does have those qualities.
11:07In terms of, you know, the respect is there.
11:11The taking care of me is there.
11:13The simple things.
11:15The cooking.
11:16Making sure the family is good.
11:18I pay attention to all of that.
11:20To a person that I wanna make my wife.
11:23Because I'll bet it's important.
11:24I thought when a man knows, he knows.
11:26Like, it just...
11:27Oh, yeah.
11:28But you still gotta take steps.
11:29Especially when you 43 years old.
11:31And when you've been married before.
11:32And it seem fresh.
11:34And you got children.
11:35Gotta make sure that you don't just make any breasts.
11:37What seems fresh?
11:39My divorce.
11:40I'm still trying to shake off still, though.
11:42You know what I'm saying?
11:43Because I'm reminded in terms of having four children by her.
11:45Every day.
11:46Are you still stuck?
11:47No, I'm not stuck.
11:48I'm not stuck.
11:49I'm not even thinking about my...
11:50You just said you think about it every day.
11:52That's stuck, bruh.
11:54It's more of...
11:56I keep suggesting you go into therapy.
11:58And like working with various people.
12:00So you can get through that.
12:02All his counseling.
12:03I'm talking...
12:04Cause you don't...
12:05That's why you still stuck, bruh.
12:06No, I ain't stuck.
12:07You didn't have a conversation with somebody.
12:08I'm not stuck, I'm good.
12:09So for me, it's difficult to know when to stay and fight or to give up.
12:15But out of everybody, I would definitely think that Destiny would know.
12:19She would know about all this.
12:20Because again, she's going through some of the same things that I'm going through.
12:23Well, somewhat.
12:25So what happened with you?
12:26Lance.
12:27I feel like I gave him an open book test and he failed.
12:30Oh, damn.
12:31Just like a man.
12:32I failed a few of them.
12:33Did you, like, break up with him?
12:35It just kind of fizzled out.
12:37You date to try to figure out if it's going to be more and it never became more.
12:40So are you going to be dating anyone else?
12:42If somebody piques my interest and they ask me out, I'm going to say yes.
12:46I think Lance is an old soul.
12:48But I also think he has a lot of things going on in his life.
12:52And as far as relationship goes, I don't know if he was really ready for that.
12:55But, like, dating life is good.
13:00Great, actually.
13:02And I think Lance is a nice guy.
13:04Just not the guy for me.
13:06Yeah, you need to let me coach you so you can get you a man.
13:13What?
13:14I'm serious.
13:15You probably do.
13:17No, thank you.
13:25Purchasing 10 acres.
13:30Up a 200-foot elevation.
13:34On the opposite side of a limestone rock quarry.
13:38Not understanding that you have to blast boulders the size of trucks.
13:43We put about 500 cubic yards of concrete.
13:47But when we got 18-inch steel I-beams.
13:51So, no.
13:52Scott Manor is not a house.
13:53Scott Manor is definitely a mansion.
14:02Here comes the boss.
14:03Hey, girl.
14:04Woo!
14:06And so, no, Scott Manor is not a house.
14:10Scott Manor is definitely a mansion.
14:15Here comes the boss.
14:17Hey, girl.
14:18Ooh!
14:19Is that the top of the house?
14:21How tall are those beams right there?
14:23That's going to be the top of the roof, maybe six inches down.
14:27Oh, wow.
14:28We've been building on Scott Manor since 2019.
14:32It has been a very long process.
14:34I feel like I've made plenty of sacrifices
14:37for this particular home.
14:39I'm happy we're starting to see something
14:41because the last time we was here,
14:43it was just this right here.
14:44This wasn't up.
14:46None of this was up.
14:47Last time I was here, this wasn't here.
14:49Y'all are sitting to see something now,
14:50but it takes less time to do this
14:52than it does to prep the ground.
14:54It took us years to prep the ground.
14:57But look at this view.
14:57Look who we're walking out to.
14:59Bruh.
15:01We have three kids sharing one bathroom.
15:03So I'm so ready to move into Scott Manor.
15:07It's just so funny seeing how our kids are growing up
15:09and the personality they're taking.
15:11I'm super happy.
15:12They have, they're well-rounded.
15:14They're just intelligent.
15:15They're all 4.0 students.
15:17MJ's about to be 18.
15:19Chip your boy off to college.
15:22You excited about where you're going to go?
15:24No.
15:25I want him to go to Michigan.
15:27I'm sure.
15:28That's where he wants to go.
15:29I want him to go to Michigan.
15:29I'm ready to face it.
15:31MJ wants to go to college in Michigan.
15:34And of course, Marceau is okay with that
15:36because Marceau is from Michigan.
15:38However, I'm not okay.
15:40It's too far away.
15:42I need MJ to be a little bit closer.
15:44I need to better get in my car and reach him.
15:46I'm happy that...
15:47No, just to see where we came from
15:50to where we're at right now.
15:52And this is like still the beginning of everything.
15:54Like it's not even like...
15:56We haven't even reached our peak yet.
15:58We're doing some stuff.
15:59We're finishing up the house on Whitehall.
16:01Yeah.
16:01And I hope we're finishing up Jordan Lane,
16:03Kimmy and Reese's project in a second.
16:05Man, I tell you,
16:06they got to get on the same page
16:07because Kimmy will tell me one thing
16:10and then I'll come talk to Marce
16:11and he'll tell me something totally different.
16:13You probably should listen to Kimmy
16:15because this is her main project.
16:16I know, but it's so hard communicating.
16:21Well, I'm sure Kimmy has a very clear...
16:23No, they don't.
16:24Oh, because you've been working hard on Jordan Lane.
16:27Like I passed by the other day.
16:28I've been working hard on everything.
16:29It's looking really good.
16:31I'm a hard worker, teacher.
16:32I never said you wasn't.
16:33I would like my brokerage office to be done first.
16:37On getting your brokerage office done?
16:39Yes.
16:40Yeah, I mean, I thought it was going to be pretty soon.
16:45We hit some hiccups as far as HVAC concerns.
16:53We had to move the unit.
16:54So I got the guys to move the unit from there
16:56and put it in a whole different location.
16:58It's kind of centered the floor now.
16:59Do we have a time frame on that?
17:01You should be done in 30, 45 days.
17:0430 days.
17:0530 to 45 days.
17:06I hear 30 days.
17:0730 to 45 days?
17:07Can I give a yes on 30 days?
17:0930 to 45...
17:09Like 30 days when I hurry up to...
17:1130 business days, yes.
17:1230 days.
17:13Business days.
17:14No, no, no, no, no.
17:1530 days.
17:16Mark my calendar for that.
17:17You got yourself a husband, bro.
17:18Thanks, babe.
17:19You got yourself a husband now.
17:21Okay, so Marceau thinks that I'm joking
17:23about completing my project, and I'm not.
17:25Scott Realty Buildout has been pushed back
17:27so many times over the past year.
17:302024 was a rough year for me.
17:33I lost a lot, a lot of family members.
17:36And I just want Marceau to hurry up
17:37and complete my project because 2025 is my year.
17:41I'm claiming it.
17:42This year, I just want to just celebrate.
17:45Like, celebrate the big things and small things
17:47and just life in general.
17:49What are you thinking about?
17:50I don't know, but I do want to involve my mom in it.
17:54She got her food truck.
17:56Like, it's been taking her a while
17:57to get that off the ground,
17:59so she got the food truck going now.
18:00Wait a minute.
18:00If we're trying to celebrate life,
18:02why would you invite your mom?
18:03Because that's a huge accomplishment for her.
18:07It's something she's been working towards.
18:09She hasn't completed now, so...
18:11I thought you were talking about some positive stuff.
18:12You're talking about celebrating life
18:14and got me all excited,
18:15then you're going to bring your mom in.
18:17Is that what you did?
18:18Is that what the whole thing was full?
18:19And I got to bring her up here
18:20so I can show her where her room is going to be.
18:22No.
18:23Yes.
18:23We do have room for a mother-in-law.
18:26We have full acres.
18:29Now, I would say watch out for snakes
18:31and things like that.
18:32I haven't seen any,
18:33so she should be safe out there.
18:35And for food, we have plenty of wildlife.
18:39Dang.
18:40Trust me.
18:41She could talk a deer to death.
18:44Her room is going to be right here.
18:46She's going to be like,
18:46why y'all put me in the corner?
18:47Her room is going to be over there somewhere,
18:49over the mountain down there.
18:52Coming up on Love and Marriage Huntsville.
18:55So you believe the whole time
18:57that she didn't want to get divorced, right?
18:59That's not.
18:59I gave her to Ken.
19:04I think we do need to set boundaries,
19:07have another conversation about boundaries.
19:09Set boundaries?
19:09We should have set boundaries
19:10two, three years ago
19:12when y'all started talking.
19:13We didn't need to.
19:14He was out of sight, out of mind.
19:15and we're out of mind.
19:30Yo, Maurice, what up?
19:32How you doing?
19:33What's going on, my guy?
19:34How you doing, bro?
19:35Me and Kimmy, we had a chance to catch up with Ken and Trish.
19:39And there was a lot of conversation about Marquez.
19:41So I felt like he's not gotten his just due.
19:44I need to have a one-on-one with him.
19:46Our dinner with Ken and Trish made me think about Marquez's side of the story.
19:50And the truth is, going through divorce is two sides to each coin.
19:53And I'd like for Marquez to, you know, share his side.
19:56How long are your time, man?
19:58I'm here as much time as I need to.
20:00Absolutely.
20:01That's what you're doing?
20:02Yes, sir.
20:03That's what's up?
20:04Man, honestly, I'm glad that I'm here, because I wanted to talk to you about how my divorce kind of is playing out.
20:10When I went to go sign the papers, it said that we didn't have no minor children.
20:15You know, when I went to the queer house, they told me that if I had signed it, that I would have to prove that we had children.
20:20So I didn't sign it yet.
20:25Neither one of you guys have fraternities?
20:27No.
20:28Yeah, well...
20:29You got somebody good for me?
20:30Well, I mean...
20:31You?
20:32No, I don't do that, bro.
20:33What type of?
20:34Okay.
20:35When it comes to, like, matters of the heart, you know, I don't usually get involved in stuff like that, brother.
20:39You can't ever win in situations like that.
20:41Usually what people do, they spend money, the lawyers get paid, until they're out of money, and then the court decides.
20:48Yeah, no. We don't want to do that. No.
20:50So, the main thing to you is your children, right?
20:53The main thing is the children, but the main thing is also to resolve this issue with me and Trish.
20:58Until we resolve that, our children are still gonna be infected.
21:00She's done a lot of different things to make it difficult for me to see my daughter, without me having to force myself on her.
21:07Mm-hmm.
21:08Like, last week, I stopped by the house to take Zaria home, and I walk in, and she's having a conversation with her friend and a guest about me, and it turns into a whole situation where this lady don't even know me, but she's already getting these opinions.
21:20So, my main thing is figure out how to work with Trish, because me and Ken have been, we've had a conversation.
21:25Mm-hmm. Did you reach out to him?
21:26No, he reached out to me.
21:28Mm-hmm.
21:29He reached out, and I ain't gonna lie, I felt like he had some motives, but then, you know, hour one, hour two, hour three, I'm like, hold on.
21:37And then, next thing you know, I understand why Trish loved him so much, because she's just like her dad, everything she ever wanted.
21:43Mm-hmm.
21:44And that's not me, and that's what we gotta work through, man, is she always wanted me to be her dad, and I'm not him.
21:48I don't really think Marquez is an introspective guy.
21:51However, he lets on to be.
21:54Um, but I think there's more to the breakdown of Marquez and Trish's marriage, especially more than just, you know, he wasn't like her father.
22:05There's always multiple sides to a story.
22:08The thing is, you gotta see what you've done in this thing.
22:12What did you do?
22:14What did I do?
22:16I didn't leave a long time ago.
22:18When's the long time ago?
22:21After the first year, when I knew we weren't supposed to be together.
22:25Gotcha.
22:26So what was it?
22:27I felt sorry for her.
22:28My dad told me on the day that we were getting married that it won't last five years.
22:32You wanted to prove him wrong?
22:33Yeah.
22:34And I really think that that really drove me, because when that five-year mark came and I made it, I just was like, yeah.
22:40Mm-hmm.
22:41It lasted more than five years.
22:43Seven, ten, twelve.
22:46You know, I think year ten, I really didn't want to be there.
22:49But then we had these situations with her family members, and I couldn't leave her.
22:53Like, I understand she felt like I left her, but I couldn't leave her, bro.
22:56The thing that doesn't make sense to me, though, if you're working a job, and you don't even want that job, and you are putting in your two-week notice, right?
23:06And then they said, you know what? We really don't want you.
23:09Why would you still want to be there?
23:11Well, Trish never said she didn't want me.
23:16That's what divorce papers are.
23:19Yeah, but I filed a divorce. She don't want to divorce me for real.
23:22She also filed.
23:23She filed because Kim made her file.
23:28So you believed the whole time that she didn't want to get divorced, right?
23:32Of course not.
23:33I gave her to Kim.
23:38If I wanted her back, I could have her. It's not about that.
23:43I got a chance to hear Marquez's side of this story, and the truth is, Trish doesn't want you the way that you think she does.
23:49And the sooner that he's able to realize that, he'll be able to move on.
23:55Like, I lost my best friend, to be honest. You know?
23:58I still love her, but not in a way where, like, I want to be with her, but I'm going to always be there for us in the ideal world.
24:04Mm-hmm.
24:05Divorce finalized.
24:07My son moves with me.
24:08My daughter continues, you know, on her journey in dance, me and Ken.
24:13We continue to build our relationship, me and Trish, build our relationship, and then we take a vacation.
24:18One big happy family.
24:19Maybe I'll have a girlfriend.
24:23Am I setting unrealistic expectations on what my relationship should be?
24:27Oh, I believe so.
24:28I believe so.
24:29What does it look like with your ex?
24:31Do y'all hang out?
24:32Do y'all talk?
24:33We don't really hang out and talk.
24:35Even if you graduate to the point to where you're cordial and everything's good, that still ain't friendship, like, to the point to where you're talking about.
24:42Best friend?
24:47Yeah, no.
24:48Yeah, I think you might want to find another girl.
24:50No, we can already get said that.
24:52I'm going to find my new best friend.
24:53Yeah, I think that you might want to find that in somebody new.
24:57Coming up on Love and Marriage Huntsville.
24:59You get no cool points for doing what you're supposed to do.
25:02And you don't get no cool points for being the boyfriend and doing what you're supposed to do, because you live here, my guy.
25:07I'm going to tell you, the only way we're going to be able to go forward is by holding yourself accountable.
25:11Yeah, you are the cause of all this.
25:13You are the common denominator, right?
25:15How was your birthday?
25:33Besides school, it was fine.
25:36I cannot believe, MJ.
25:38You're getting so old.
25:40You're not my little baby anymore.
25:43I can't believe it.
25:45Today is MJ's 18th birthday.
25:47And I really just want to spend as much time with him as I can before he goes off to college.
25:53And he's not a little boy anymore.
25:55And time spent with mom is getting very, very small.
25:59I was 25 years old when I had you.
26:01Hmm.
26:02And you're graduating in 2025.
26:04Isn't that crazy?
26:05It's almost like you planned that.
26:07This is just not another birthday.
26:09Like, this is like your 18th birthday.
26:11This is like a big birthday.
26:12Like, you're legal.
26:14Like, you can vote.
26:15You're graduating high school.
26:17You want to go to, we're going to college, but you want to go, like, away.
26:21Why do you want to go so far away from me?
26:23It's a possibility you would never live in Knoxville again.
26:26You know the thing is, when I left home to go to college, like, I never went back.
26:33I never moved back home with my parents.
26:36If you go to Michigan for real, MJ, I'm going to get me on townhouse, like, around the corner from your campus.
26:43I don't think so.
26:45Why?
26:46I don't think they allow parents within a certain radius to the school.
26:50They don't care who purchased land outside of the campus.
26:55I'm not going to be on campus with you, but I need to come visit you at least once a week.
27:04Okay, every other weekend.
27:07Do you think that's too much?
27:09Yeah.
27:10You're not going to miss me?
27:11I'll always get to call mom at least weekly, though, so, you know.
27:14Oh, you're not going to be calling me weekly.
27:16You're going to be calling me every day.
27:17Oh, no.
27:18I don't know.
27:19I'm going to be FaceTiming you every night before you go to sleep.
27:21He's excited to go off to college and fly, and I want him to fly.
27:26But I also want him to know that mom is still right here.
27:29I'm touchable, so.
27:31Are you worried about, like, leaving me?
27:37Nah.
27:38You're not at all?
27:40Nah.
27:41Why?
27:42Are you going to miss your dad?
27:43Probably.
27:45I'll just miss him a little more, mom.
27:48Dad's kind of, like, a pillar for me.
27:52Okay.
27:53Okay.
27:54So what am I to you, then?
27:56Hmm.
27:57Probably like a line that just keeps me straight.
27:58Nobody sees all the work that we as moms have to do to keep the house flowing.
28:14Marceau allows the kids to get away with a lot that I do not.
28:19I have to enforce the rules.
28:21I have to enforce and make sure things get done around the house.
28:24With Marceau, they laugh and joke and play games.
28:26So, yeah.
28:27I would want that cool father, too.
28:29I'm always going to be worried about you.
28:31You're always going to be a concern of mine.
28:33Like, just because you're away in college don't mean that you're not my child anymore.
28:37You're still my child.
28:38This is to death do us part.
28:42You're always going to have home.
28:44No matter where you go, how far you go away, there's always going to be, like, a place for you in our household.
28:49You always have a safe place.
28:51Okay?
28:56And I know I always have a place to go visit.
28:59Coming up on Love and Marriage Hunts Fifth.
29:03Or you're going to get the out.
29:05Ken.
29:06How about that?
29:07I'll put you out.
29:08Y'all better, bro.
29:09Y'all better start.
29:10Better do good.
29:11Better do good.
29:12Get out.
29:13Get out.
29:14Man, bro.
29:29Oh, yeah.
29:30Getting it all ready.
29:34Trying to.
29:35Let's watch Zarya dance tomorrow.
29:37You got everything packed?
29:38I got it together this time.
29:40We're getting ready for Zarya's first competition of the season.
29:44It's very hectic because there's so many little details that goes into each costume, each dance.
29:51But I'm excited to see how it goes.
29:53I'm tired.
29:54You tired?
29:55What you got going?
29:56Apple juice.
29:57Okay.
29:58You all right, though?
30:01As I'm going to be, yeah.
30:02So I decided to sit in on this conversation with Marquez and Ken.
30:06And I also invited Sharon because I feel like Marquez owes her a much-need apology.
30:11We do need to clear the air.
30:13I think he definitely owes Sharon an apology.
30:15I felt like, you know, after all the conversations me and him have had, we had a better understanding.
30:20But obviously, we don't.
30:22And I'm willing to hear him out maybe just this one more time.
30:25But I think this is about...
30:27I still feel this is not going to go well.
30:29I don't think so.
30:30Nope.
30:31I know you're frustrated.
30:32But we got to set up some boundaries and some, you know, make sure people understand their roles in this situation.
30:42So I just want you to be open to listening.
30:49And I feel like we never really have an issue until he comes around.
30:55So, you know, we got to nip that in the bud and make sure that, you know, everybody, again, understands their role.
31:02Yeah.
31:03Before I go from zero to a million.
31:05Yeah, we don't have to do that.
31:07With Marquez, we've had a conversation or two about boundaries.
31:11But I don't know if I've always been as direct as I need to be.
31:14Like in his mind, you know, that's my wife.
31:18Those are my kids.
31:19I can do what I want.
31:20And that's just realistically not how it goes.
31:23That's dumb I've ever heard.
31:25Not how it's going to go with me.
31:27I mean, he does have some points that we need to listen to.
31:31I'm not saying that all of them are valid.
31:33But we still got to, you know, allow him to express himself the way he feels.
31:38This is asking a lot for me.
31:39Let me get that.
31:44Come on in.
31:49Come on in.
31:50Hello.
31:51We don't get to open the door?
31:53This is crazy work.
31:55What's up?
31:56It's cold.
31:57You all right, man?
31:58Did you say come in?
31:59Baby.
32:00Come on, come on, come on.
32:02Oh, man.
32:03What's going on?
32:04You all right, boy?
32:05I'm good.
32:06What's going on?
32:07Oh, man.
32:08So, I mean, you know why we're here.
32:12What am I trying to do?
32:13Can I get a drink?
32:16Asking Ken where his drink is.
32:18He gives you this ass energy.
32:21I know him.
32:22He's going to give you this soft, weak link.
32:25But then he's going to get under your skin and try to piss you off.
32:28Here comes this little hot dog.
32:30He's going to piss me off.
32:31I was gone the other day when the whole little incident went down.
32:38I think it's kind of frustrating for me because we've had conversations about, you know, trying to do better, being better.
32:45And I feel like that situation kind of put us backwards.
32:48But I think we do need to set boundaries.
32:52Have another conversation about boundaries.
32:54Set boundaries?
32:55We should have set boundaries two, three years ago when y'all started talking.
32:59Matter of fact, it should have been boundaries before anybody came into the picture, and that's my fault.
33:02Yeah, you're right.
33:03We never had that conversation.
33:04No.
33:05We didn't need to.
33:06You was out of sight, out of mind.
33:07Oh, I'm...
33:08You were out of sight, out of mind.
33:09Out of sight, out of mind.
33:12Okay.
33:13So, recently, you know, I picked up Zarya.
33:16The day that I came over, when I walk in, it's automatic hostility and animosity.
33:21You came into my house uninvited.
33:23Uninvited.
33:24Marquez and I are getting a divorce.
33:26Ken and I live here.
33:27You don't live here.
33:28I mean, it's not rocket science.
33:30You just don't barge into someone's house, especially when you don't live there.
33:33Okay, how about this, Ken?
33:34Ken.
33:35Boundary set.
33:36Now what?
33:37Boundary set.
33:38I'll make sure I call.
33:39I'll make sure that I knock on the door.
33:40Now what?
33:41Now what are we doing now?
33:42I mean, hold on.
33:43What are we doing now, Ken?
33:44But here's the thing.
33:45This is why this conversation...
33:46What are we doing now?
33:47Go get that.
33:48This is why the conversation has to be had, because Marquez, you're saying...
33:51You're speaking as if somebody is asking you to do something that isn't, to me, already
33:56understood or...
33:58Like, bro, I just wouldn't walk in your house.
34:01Bro, I did not walk in the house, Ken.
34:03You gotta understand, that's my daughter.
34:04She opened the door, bro.
34:05What is you saying?
34:06I'm not gonna let her walk in with two drinks and three bags, bro.
34:09I don't care if it was my house, my granny house, her house, somebody else's house.
34:14I'm not letting her walk in with two drinks and three bags, bro.
34:16I apologize.
34:17You should've stayed at the doorstep.
34:18Now, okay, well, guess what?
34:19You should've handled it differently.
34:20No, I shouldn't have.
34:21You should've been more mature.
34:22Yes, you should've said...
34:23What?
34:24Because you came already on the rift, and I don't even know this lady.
34:25Because...
34:26This lady came in off some extra energy.
34:28Hold on.
34:29Hold on.
34:30No, the energy...
34:31As a matter of fact, would you like to introduce me?
34:32Sharon kicked that off my energy.
34:33How you doing?
34:34You have never...
34:35My name is Marquez.
34:37I would like to apologize for the energy, because I felt like I don't know you, right?
34:39And when I came in, because I thought we were in a better position, right?
34:43Because I didn't want my daughter to walk in with these bags.
34:45Okay, that's my mindset.
34:46Hear me out.
34:47Hear me out.
34:48Hear me out.
34:49Okay, let's get past that part.
34:50Would you like to sit down?
34:51Please, thank you.
34:52Here you go.
34:53You want something to drink?
34:54No, I'm good.
34:55Okay, can I get something to drink?
34:56Because I'm kind of thirsty.
34:57I'm sorry.
34:58I didn't bring that because I didn't know.
34:59Okay, but next time I'll bring a bottle.
35:01What made you feel like you could impugn my character?
35:03What made you feel like you had to demean me in front of this lady that you said is your
35:06close friend, right?
35:07Mm-hmm.
35:08There's no need to express anything that happened in the past.
35:11The past is past.
35:12That's...
35:13Let's live in the present.
35:14Let's do what we gotta do for the kids, and let's keep it moving.
35:16How can we...
35:17Hold on.
35:18How can we get past that?
35:19Hold on, hold on.
35:20Because I really don't care.
35:21But you should care.
35:22I don't.
35:23If you really cared about the kids, you should care.
35:24No, I care about the kids.
35:25Because you don't care about the kids.
35:26I don't care about...
35:27Hold on, hold on.
35:28You wouldn't be doing all this, bro.
35:29You're broken.
35:30Let me say this.
35:31Here's the thing, Marquez.
35:32I would like for both of you, like, because I tell her this.
35:35Stop bringing the kids in the middle of situations that the kids...
35:38So the kids are affected every time.
35:39Listen, listen.
35:40No, they're not.
35:41Yes, they are.
35:42I'mma tell you.
35:43I'mma be 100 with you.
35:44We're being honest with each other right now.
35:45These kids aren't traumatized about nothing.
35:46Do they miss you?
35:47Does Xavier miss having a certain relationship with you?
35:50Yes.
35:51But are they going through some traumatic situation where they're just so hurt?
35:54No, they're not, bro.
35:55Their mother is traumatizing them, bro.
35:57No, they're...
35:58Listen, bro.
35:59What do you mean?
36:00No, they're not.
36:01They're not, bro.
36:02First of all, me and my kids have our conversations.
36:04Y'all don't know what we're talking about.
36:06I can assure you.
36:07No, you can't assure me anything when it comes to my children, Ken.
36:09Okay.
36:10Well, you can't assure me anything when it comes to my children, Ken.
36:12You want to know how I can?
36:13Because I'm active.
36:14I'm the active one.
36:16Bro, I'm active, bro.
36:17Hold on, hold on, hold on.
36:18You're letting my emotions.
36:19We can't go back here.
36:20It's not going back.
36:21The reality of it is...
36:22It feels like it's going back.
36:23Listen to me.
36:24This is the reality.
36:25Those are your kids, right?
36:26Correct.
36:27You can agree to that, right?
36:28Absolutely.
36:29But right now, this is my family.
36:30It's my family.
36:39This is the reality.
36:40Those are your kids, right?
36:42Correct.
36:43You can agree to that, right?
36:44Absolutely.
36:45But right now, this is my family.
36:48It's my family.
36:50It is the family.
36:51No, you're the boyfriend to Trish.
36:52No, it's my family.
36:53And you're the bonus guy.
36:54Hold on.
36:55Like you said, right?
36:56You're the bonus guy.
36:57But it's still my family.
36:58It's still my family.
36:59What does family mean?
37:00Family.
37:01We live together.
37:02What's the definition of family?
37:03We do everything together.
37:04Guess what?
37:05I take Zaria to dance.
37:06I pick her up from dance.
37:07Are you going to be at her competition tomorrow?
37:09Absolutely.
37:10Did I not give you money?
37:11Bro, you gave me $500.
37:13You know how my cost?
37:14Like you get no cool points for doing what you're supposed to do.
37:18And you don't get no cool points for being the boyfriend
37:21and doing what you're supposed to do
37:22because you live here, my guy.
37:23The only way we're going to be able to go forward
37:25is by holding yourself accountable and being real with yourself.
37:29Bro, I've been holding myself.
37:30Being real.
37:31Because at the end of the day, at the end of the day,
37:34you are the cause of all this.
37:37You are the common denominator, right?
37:39Take accountability, but it starts with you,
37:41and if you're not ready, then he's not going to be ready,
37:44then I'm not going to be ready.
37:45The way he talks to Trisha,
37:47he talks to her as if he has that right to be disrespectful,
37:51and he's doing it in my face.
37:53Now, I don't care what nobody else do.
37:55You're not going to disrespect my woman in my face.
37:57You know where I was at tonight?
37:58Here.
37:59I'm juggling being here.
38:00I had to go to Alex's football games.
38:02I'm all acting, bro.
38:03They see me in the flesh.
38:04And they see me.
38:05Not a text message.
38:06And they see me.
38:07Not a phone call.
38:08They see me in the world.
38:09And Zaria saw me.
38:10And Xavier saw me.
38:11I'm here, bro.
38:12I'm in Huntsville.
38:13I'm here now.
38:14Now what?
38:15We ain't got to see each other.
38:16You can see me.
38:17I'm here now.
38:18Now what?
38:19What does it look like?
38:20How do we set up these boundaries?
38:21Hold on.
38:22The divorce, right?
38:23I called the courthouse.
38:24They said we waiting for a court date.
38:25Because obviously, you put on there and said
38:26we had no minor children.
38:27Bro, that's a lie, bro.
38:28How is it a lie?
38:29We can go prove it, bro.
38:30We can prove that.
38:31We can prove that.
38:32At the end of the day, Marquez definitely knows
38:34that the kid's name are on that paperwork.
38:36And it's so frustrating because, you know,
38:39he has the same paperwork that we're presenting to him.
38:42I just feel like the guy just loves picking.
38:44Being an asshole.
38:45Yeah, he just loves picking.
38:46And, you know, he sees that this is almost, you know,
38:50the end of the road for them being married
38:52and him having that access to her.
38:54And I just think he doesn't.
38:55He's not ready to let it go.
38:57What's the date stamped on it at the courthouse?
38:58September 19th.
39:00And what does it say?
39:01No minor children?
39:022024.
39:03Does it say something about no minor children?
39:04What does it say?
39:05Where?
39:06Let me see.
39:07Hold on.
39:08Who's naming stuff on there?
39:09Xavier.
39:10Why are you showing it to her?
39:11Where?
39:12When?
39:13Hey, that's why you got to stop lying, bro.
39:14That's why you got to stop lying.
39:15What am I lying about, bro?
39:16That's why you got to stop lying.
39:17You said that the kid's name went on there.
39:19The kid's name are right there.
39:20Who's the judge?
39:21We got reassigned because you could test it.
39:22Who's the judge?
39:23So we got reassigned.
39:24You put on there that we didn't have no minor children.
39:26You put on there that we didn't have no minor children.
39:27I'm gonna do it.
39:28Look.
39:29It says it right there.
39:30Xavier Burnett.
39:31Zaria Reed.
39:32Exactly.
39:33Man, stop lying.
39:34Relax, bro.
39:35Here's the thing, Marquez.
39:36The energy is off.
39:37Hey, Marquez, sit down.
39:38Just sit down.
39:39Nah, bro.
39:40Just sit down.
39:41I'm gonna sit down or you're gonna sit down?
39:42The energy is off.
39:43Or you're gonna get the out.
39:44Ken.
39:45How about that?
39:46Or you're gonna get out?
39:47Ken, stop.
39:48Or you're going to get out?
39:49Nah, I'm just gonna come out.
39:50Put you out.
39:51We can do it that way.
39:52It is what it is.
39:53Damn, bro.
39:54Like, you make this right there.
39:55Are we moving forward?
39:56It's right.
39:57We can't move forward if we're gonna keep flying.
39:58What'd you say, dude?
39:59Bro, are you serious?
40:00It's right here, bro.
40:01That has nothing to do, bro.
40:02This is the lie.
40:03This is the lie.
40:04This is the lie.
40:05It's right here.
40:06It's right here.
40:07Stop lying all the time, dude.
40:08You're being vicious.
40:09Stop lying all the time, dude.
40:10You're being vicious.
40:11You're walking in my house.
40:12You just did it again.
40:13Are we moving forward or not?
40:14You just did it again.
40:15Are we moving forward or not?
40:16You just did it again.
40:20Bro, yeah.
40:21Better do what?
40:22Better do what?
40:23Better do what?

40:29Get off.
40:30Get off.
40:31Get off.
40:32Stop.
40:33Next on Love and Marriage Huntsville.
40:34Growing up, when me and him were both in the house, you would always come ask me to do stuff.
40:38I didn't really like that.
40:40Did you feel difference in love?
40:41Like, I love Monster Roar.
40:43Uh...
40:46What are you gonna do when Marquez pops back up?
40:47You can't get away from this guy.
40:48Hey, so here's the thing.
40:49I'm not dealing with it.
40:50But you do, though.
40:51You guys keep trying to talk and then...
40:52No, no, no.
40:53It's not.
40:54I'm trying to cater to his emotions and his feelings and trying to...
40:58I'm almost treating him...
40:59You ain't trying to marry him.
41:00Lance had mentioned wanting to hang out with Ken.
41:03He had got a call saying he needed to get back.
41:06He had a baby on the way in labor.
41:08When I saw that on social media, I was side-eyeing you.
41:10I was like, nah, I nailed having him a destiny date.
41:14He had a whole girl pregnant the whole time.
41:18I was actually talking to Jaylen.
41:20He came by the...
41:21Did he actually fail?
41:22He's not asking for help.
41:23Well, he thinks it'll be like a dad.
41:24He's not asking for help.
41:25He's not asking for help.
41:26He thinks it'll be like a dad.
