He’s mine, you may have had him once but I got him all the time…
How do you act when your ex wants that old thing back?
From breakups and “break babies, to breakdowns and breakthroughs- women deal with a ton of crap while on the quest to find Mr. Right!
For as long as most women can remember, society has drilled in us this
idea that when it comes to guys and girls, women mature faster than most men. That’s not to say that there aren’t more than a few exceptions to the rule (there are plenty of great guys that we can vouch for that definitely have their head on their shoulders), that’s just to make it clear that society, media and even various cultures, sell us the concept of women being on the more mature, patient and tolerant side of love (aka, it’s expected that we put up with every type of mess until they decide to GET IT TOGETHER!)
That’s why, when it comes to men cheating and/or abruptly leaving a relationship for another woman, although there is an element of disappointment, unfortunately there is hardly an ounce of surprise- or pride- for that matter. And more than likely, a lot of women too deep into their love for a man will find themselves waiting on him to roam and come back home, while putting up with his two-three-four-timing ways.
Enter in: Future!
Since the split between the rapper and Ciara, the Atlanta-bred singer and mommy has moved forward into the arms of a new man, while Future, unlike his namesake, has been spotted out with a blast-from-the-past and appears to have gone back to ex-girlfriend and baby mother, Brittni Mealy. Almost around the same time Cici made her debut with new boo Russell Wilson at the White House, the ‘Pop of Junk,’ e-boutique owner was been flooding her Instagram with pics of her and Future out on hikes, walks in the park and taking “Usies.”
They are definitely back on!
If Brittini looks familiar to you, it’s because the boutique owner has had it out with Future more than a few times in the public eye, and was even said to have taken some subs at Ciara via Twitter. The boutique owner met Future back in 2009 at the Magic City strip club where she went by her stage name, ‘The Truth.’ 3 years, 2 tattoos and 1 child later (she had his son, ‘Prince,’) the dancer was living her fairtytale… until she found out about his other family 4 miles away from her.
During the time Future began dating Ciara, Brittni confessed to The YBF:
He really pursued me, we traveled together all the time, he really took care of me, we took care of each other. We moved in together and I became pregnant with our son. We had a good relationship. This was before his career took off. My son was born in December of 2012.Of course it started off perfect, we spent everyday together. Whatever I wanted he gave me, it was almost too good to be true! He swept me off my feet, he was my world and I was his. He made me smile (even on the inside), we were best friends! I thought it would never end. He wanted us to move in together, so we found a place and moved. We shared everything… I even remember the day he got signed, he called so excited and said “Bae my dream just came true!When asked why she lashed out at Future and if she was jealous of his relationship with Ciara, she responded:
But, of course, his dream became my nightmare. With his success, came the lies, the cheating, the deceit. He stopped coming home every night. The more successful he got, the more comfortable he was with mistreating me and disrespecting our home. I even found out he had another family 4 miles away on the same street we had moved on! I didn’t end the relationship when I found out, because I was in too deep in love and he promised he was getting rid of the other “situation” as he called it…when the time was right.
I knew about his kids, he has never disowned any of them. But, I do think 3 kids by 3 different women is a pattern of some sort. He obviously loves the mothers, but something about adding a kid to the equation changes things for him.
He made a phone call to my mom (obviously feeling like he can still control what I do, even though we are not together anymore ). My mom has always been kind to him and usually defends him. Because, I refused to speak to him…he proceeded to curse at my mother and call her out of her name! I was upset and emotional because, I am raising our newborn son and he has stopped assisting me with his care and now, he thinks he can disrespect my mother. It was too much. I acted out of anger because, my son and my mother are dear to me. And, he crossed the line. We simply don’t deserve to be treated that way. I reluctantly stooped to his level and I regret that.
I’m definitely not jealous! Because, I deserve better and I know my Self Worth! I know the real “him”, the part she doesn’t know. They are just “honeymooning” right now. Everything always seems perfect in the beginning. But, I wish them the best. I will always have love for him, so if he’s happy I’m happy for him, [but] I’m not the flavor of the month kind of girl. I will have ties to this man for a minimum of 18 years so, no telling how many females I’m going to see come and go. He’s feeling his success right now. He’s at a place in his life he has only dreamed about.
Brittni has had a huge change of heart since then because from the looks of things, Future is back home, or at least finding his way to her’s, and Ms. Mealy couldn’t look anymore happy.
There is a child involved in the situation, and for that reason alone, it may be harder to walk away, than to attempt to make things work. However, just a precautionary tip when we are ready to give our past a second chance: We have to be very careful of when our kindness gets taken for weakness, our patience for tolerance and our silence for stupidity. At the end of the day, what we accept is what we get. As women (and men) it’s important that we raise our expectations from others and lower our “acceptions,” from them, because not everything that can be done, should be done, nor accepted. Hopefully, Future does right by his woman.
Which leaves us to ask: Although we all make mistakes in relationships, and some are worthy of warranting forgiveness, between slip-ups ranging from everything from a little white lie to an “on break baby,” these days (cc: Dwayne Wade, Ludacris, Peter Gunz, etc.) at what point in time is enough, enough and it’s not okay to take your man back?
