    When my wife passed on June 29th, 2024, I became a man undone. I am now on a journey to discover who I am now. For 34 years I fought to love my wife as Christ loved the church. So for 34 years I knew who I was. Now for the first time ever in my life, I'm a Single Christian Man, and I don't know how to move in that lane. So my trust in God is coming from a new place...."I am a Man undone"

      Very true! I am married to a provider but feel as if I do not have a husband. Thankfully, I have developed a relationship with God after getting married. If I did NOT have this relationship than I would be a divorced single mother b/c emotionally the situation would've been too difficult for me to navigate. However, by depending on God his grace is sufficient. I will continue to pray for my marriage and let God lead the way.

    I didn’t know anything about her prior to this interview. I really enjoyed this interview and how open and vulnerable she was with us. That moment she shared and paused resonated with me. I will never forget after being separated 3 years, fasting and interceding and doing everything I could and he still wouldn’t change.
    I filed for my divorce. I remember balling in my car before going into the court room as well, telling God how my marriage meant absolutely everything to me. I remember saying to the Lord, all I have done
    and nothing changed. He let me know I had changed. I allowed God to do the work in me and that was where I made peace with my decision. I know my labor was not in vain, when we become better and not bitter.

      ​@suziesmith9076 I didn't take it as blame. She said they grew apart. She said she went into the relationship unrealistically. Even the marriage counselors hinted they shouldn't be together, but she was consumed with the wedding happening. There were many red flags on communication, but she thought they were fixable... She also gave the example of how she initially talked to him with attitude but then tried it nicely, then stopped talking at all... she gave examples of how she did ALL the work versus paying attention to the fact that he wasn't participating. All of what she should have considered a red flag... She said she took on leadership roles and then resented him in the end for doing it... pretty accountable to me.

    Monique was always my favorite on RHOP. I always knew she was doing the best she could to keep it together. Chris was kind but never supported her. He never transitioned from having the mindset of an athlete constantly being served. She did a great job managing the business of their marriage, but she didn’t get a chance to enjoy her marriage as a wife. I pray she gets the love she deserves.

    When she was talking about expressing yourself but, just expressing yourself is a problem so you hold it in not wanting to cause problems.

    "This message is so needed because so many women find themselves in this space. I was recently listening to Dr. Jay, and he spoke about the ambitious woman-how we can be ambitious in so many areas, yet it's often the little girl within us who ends up leading when we're feeling unfulfilled or lacking control.
    When we're younger, we might think everything will be perfect if we can just control the narrative-if our husband says 'yes' to everything, for example. But as the years go by in marriage, you start to realize that you're the one carrying the burden. You're taking on everything, and at some point, you stop and think, 'When do we get to the place where we’re truly working together, in agreement, as a team?'
    It’s a hard realization, but such an important conversation to have. Thank you for bringing this up."

There's no going with the flow or let's see what happens...All the Red Flags were there, he was a lazy dater and never wanted to marry it played out in the marriage, he lacked enthusiasm for life it seemed because Monique did everything.

      Think about it 🤔 Monique and her Man were BOTH Sexually irresponsible because she admitted they POPPED OUT a baby 👶🏼 even before their FIRST wedding Anniversary 🤦🏽‍♀️ If you know like I know, Husbands can sometimes be Jealous for their Wife’s Attention 😂 Giving Birth to a whole baby and becoming a Mother even BEFORE having an Opportunity to BE a Wife can be problematic. Babies Require a LOT of Care and Attention, and many Women suffer from Postpartum blues which can Negatively Impact Marital relations. I know from experience because I Suffered from what is known as **The Madonna-whore Complex** wherein I was UNABLE to maintain Sexual arousal because I thought of myself as now being Somebody’s Mother and I was REPULSED by my Husband’s romantic advances. It was a Whole Mess!! 😂

    Monique is beautiful from the inside out! She is a good representative of marriage minded women who have battled with our ambition within a marriage; women who lead and don’t see they’re a part of the reason why the man is not leading… I hope she continues her post divorce healing journey, continue healing the inner feminine and that she’ll always have enough (& more) to sustain herself and her children whether she’s married or single. If she desires I pray the right man finds her…

    Wow!!!! Is all I can say. This Queens story I identify with completely.and resonated within my soul Slight difference. I was the bread winner never looking for money looking for growing together. In divorce he came for my finances Even though he chose not to grow. I can't regret because one time there was happiness for what I thought a marriage should be. I have beautiful blessings (kids) from that relationship. However at one time there were regrets until I truly started to heal. Now despite the tears or how hard the journey I made it. Most importantly my kids see a healthy me and it carries on into their lives and helps them be better to be healthy in relationship and respect themselves. They aren't forced to see toxic parents. Now I look fwd for God to send my future husband. My peace has been everything.💜 Thank you for sharing Monique

    Fantastic video My five-year relationship ended a month ago. The decision to part ways with the love of my life is something that truly consumes me. Though it's all in vain, I've tried everything to get him back, and I can't fathom my life with anyone else. Even though I've made every effort to quit thinking about him, I can't help but miss him and can't stop thinking about him. Why I am stating this here is beyond me.

    Monique’s articulation of what caused her marriage to crumple was so well put and relatable as an ex-wife myself. I watched her marriage beginning to crumble and was praying that it wouldn’t happen. Of all the housewives she’s always been the most real, down to earth and relatable. She makes you feel like she’s your friend in your head. I relived the demise of my own marriage listening to the podcast. I’m so proud of her and though the future didn’t turn out to be what she’d hoped and labored for God’s plan will be greater than she ever imagined. Dissolving a marriage from someone you genuinely love, care for and want the best for is tantamount to a true death. However, there’s no growth without pain, no testimony without a test and she will and is coming out stronger on the other side of this.

I also really like how fair she was in her dialogue, no need to bash him at all.

    I feel the same way as Monique felt. I just can't afford to leave. As soon as I can increase my income I am filling for divorce. The misery, all that she stated as to how she felt for years is exactly the same that I'm going through. I can 't state how I feel without turmoil so I just have to be miserable and quiet. I am so happy for Monique and I will keep her in my prayers. This was a great topic and it has helped me to know that I am not alone in how I have been feeling for the past 6 years.

    As a laid back married man, father of three same women it’s one thing to get pressure from the outside world, but then to come home and get pressured 10 times more from your wife is mind blowing. I can’t imagine this guy was probably overwhelmed through the roof.. based off the information that was disclosed here. Two power dynamics very rarely if ever works. Not to discredit one’s experience, but in most cases, both sides of the story always brings great clarity.

      Often times people process information through Rose colored glasses and run with it especially when they hear testimonies that have some similarities to the pain and trauma, they went through.
      If you let a person speak, they’ll tell you everything you need to know.
      You might be the exception, but for most people they understand that the husband does not have to be present for a wife to be a clear representation and reflection of her household by what she does or says.

    Monique is super strong and poised. I believe even in that pregnant pause she was covering him. So much she could have said that was left unsaid. Emotional abuse is hidden from the eye but felt with every punch in the soul. If anyone was in the live chat today you got a chance to see what gaslighting looks like in real-time. Tears you down, makes you question your dignity and your worth. It comes from an evil spirit. Our battle is not against flesh and blood.
    I can relate too well to her story. Everyone thinks he’s nice because they don’t see him disrespect you and talk down to you. Make you feel that you’re worth nothing. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for revelation. I wonder how many missing wives, wives hurt/killed by emotionally abusive husbands were told that they should hang in there. Only the persons inside the relationship can truly judge.
    This podcast has helped me to heal so much and see that I’m not alone. I remember Judge Toler saying, “Never let a man tell you twice that he doesn’t want to be with you.” What do you do when he says that and you believe in covenant and you have 2 children together?… You suffer in silence. Bishop Fernandez freed me from a prison that I’d placed myself in.
    Never wanted to be a statistic or stereotype. Was willing to suffer so my kids could have both parents, but at what cost?… After almost 4 years of separation and prayer and fasting and asking for change, I’m finally ready to be the change and file. Please pray peace for my children and that they be surrounded as with a shield…
    S/o to all the single Moms who are ready to be healthy and well for themselves and their kids!

When you really love someone, the last thing you care about is money. I pray that she continues to heal and finds the love she desires after she heals.

    I learned my lesson in fornicating before marriage even though we knew we were getting married. We both overlooked so much and needed so much healing before getting married. The sex clouded alot. I was successfully married (by the Grace of God) and we were just getting it together and starting to hear and see one another again and learn one another again (because people change lol especially after major life events) heading into year 7 but he passed that December. Also got together when i was 20 and he 21. He passed at aged 30. I will do alot different if i am graced with a second marriage. God bless her. Im sure the decision was difficult. Praying for their healing as a family.
