I was doing a panel one day and realized people don't know I am in a whole relationship with my son's father. People always ask about my son and I have gotten use to that at this point. They also ask when I am having my next child? I'm going to start asking how much money you going to put on the next one? If you don't have money to contribute to the next child don't ask me. Anyway, moving on... I always refer to him as my boyfriend, which I have reached the age where that sounds sooooo childish, but I don't know what to call him. I guess my man, the real one, not my delusional man Chris Brown. Fun fact: both my men have Maurice in their names, but don't call them that. They don't like it. I notice people get confused because they are not sure if my boyfriend is my child's father. I know we don't see it often, but that's my son papi.

All this to say I found my person and he is my best friend. We are not your normal couple in some people's eyes. We like to go out with each other and people watch. We have been approached in party settings like y'all out together? Yes we are. He is typically the home body and doesn't mind staying home with our son if we are both unable to go to an event. I'm more social and enjoy being out with my friends. The people he encounters will say you let her go out by herself? Or I have guys tell me I would never let you go out by yourself. I always respond that's why we not together. If you are with a person you love, I believe in giving them space to miss you. It may be the only child in me, but I enjoy having my me time when needed. I also enjoy being with my man laughing and running around the house like little kids.

We are opposite in many ways, but compliment each other beautifully. I can literally tell him anything. He is my number one fan and I never had a relationship this supportive in the past. It's crazy how you find your person when you are not looking. Let's just say I was in what you call my H** phase. Really it was just me in my dating phase with no goal in mind. We met at a bar that I used to frequent quite often. He talked trash about my cracked phone screen and it was up from there. Holding a conversation and making me laugh is a must for me. He was also able to keep up with my trash talk too. Match made it heaven.

When you can go from bruh to bae is when it's everythiing!!!!!
