I love when I see two adults discussing their difference of opinions so maturely, without trashing the other person just because you disagree. Such a rare thing nowadays...
Her explanation was good up until she confidently said that she "loves" and lives with the guy. If you love him, you wouldn't be seeking more options. If you're dating multiple people, why would you live with one of them during this time?
The Tran Le Family She's shopping. She has a home but is still doing walk-throughs of other places to live. Or interviewing for other job opportunities while still working for her employer. How is it any different? What is her level of commitment to that house or job? Not too terribly solid. When you look at it this way it clearer to see it. So let me ask you this, would she be up for a promotion or given more responsibility in the future to manage? (From an employer employee standpoint of an agreement as opposed to a superior inferior point of view.) Is she dedicated and fully committed to the situation she has? I wish her bf was there to weigh in. It would have been enlightening.
I think that Shannon makes it “sound good” in her head to make herself feel good, but in reality, the guy is winning and Steve Harvey knows it. He gets to have his cake & eat it too & I guarantee you, she’s going to get hurt in the end .. so sad man
She will . She probably regrets it already . But pride will let her keep the pain and act like it is well to the outside world . She's over confident, and it's clearly burying herself.
Nothing sad about it. If she enjoying herself, have at it. I just think its irresponsible to tell other women to do things counterproductive to what they actually want to get. Her method of dating will result in being single or being in a relationship with a man that she does not love and respect.
Steve is 💯% right, none of the dudes like sharing their girl with some body else, she knew when Steve stated the facts and one can easily see she was putting a brave face on.
I recognize everybody map Of the world is different and yet I do not believe they're in love either and I believe they're enjoying spending time with others my belief is when you are in love with someone you can't dare to see the person you love when anyone else but you so it sounds like she's just waiting on him.
This some new mess! I absolutely agree with Steve. I dislike when young ppl try to be so deep for no reason. Nobody in their rt mind wants to openly share their spouse with others.
What? Any other man she dates if he's a keeper will not be okay with the fact that she already lives with a man. She can say she has her own advice and feel good about it, but in reality he's putting her on hold.
пока The fact if he's a keeper or not is irrelevant because she's already in a relationship. So logically the guy would have to accept that or he would have to go find someone if he wants that kind of exclusive relationship right?
She didn't really address Steve's point. You love him... You live with him.... And you're okay if he ends up being with another girl????? She's not in love with him. Idc what nobody says
Not all people are exclusive. It's hard to explain but for some, if u love then u are willing to let that person go. Also I let a person go & they don't return they were never for me anyway.
@@jenniferhill8776 that makes no sense. If you love something fight for it and fighting for it means that you don't want someone else to have what you want.
@@dammymurphy3964 there is a different type of love whereby you want the person you care about to be happy. If they love you & u were meant to be then they will return to you. So NO you do not always have to fight for love or fight for the one you love. You can let them know u love them & have the will to let them be free (for example even after u have a good relationship). Now, from what I've seen from polyamorous couples some people are truly fine loving more than one person & them all living together raising kids etc. Also there are plenty of people who Fight for shet that doesn't want them, or who seem to like them but then leave them later on anyway so consider that. Fighting for the one you love, sure. But should everyone always do it? No. Perhaps the one who u love won't be fighting for you. Now if u both fight for each other, great. But it's just one person fighting for the other, the 'fighter' may be setting themselves up for a lost cause. There is maturity in loving someone & letting go is the person you love is not sure, is young or needs time/ or more relationships to explore. If u love a person rite & u were meant to be then they will return even if it's years later in your life. Alternatively think of all the ladies clowning and fighting for a man, their man who've they've been with for years & maybe has kids with him, whom their man is talking & seeing chicks on the side
@@jenniferhill8776 I get that. I guess what I meant by fighting is that if ssomeone loves you as much as you love them then you should keep doing things that puts them first or actions that considers their feelings and lets them know that they matter to you the most and notbing in this world is as important as them. Thats what I meant by fighting. If I'm involved with someone that wants to have their cake and eat it too then thats not real love. Its hard to describe in few words. Love is such a broad and complicated thing that I cant explain it fully however what ive realized is that most people don't even fully get what love is. A lot of people profess it but their body language and actions are the exact opposite of what love is
@@iamshervonne so she got lucky, she's clearly a exception and in my opinion, being married don't mean nothing because a lot of people are married and have a horrible marriage/relationship. Don't romanize things. A man always will be a man and only God knows what is happening behind closed doors 🙄😒
Noreen Muhwati shan doesn't feel attacked. shan is BEING attacked lol i like steve but she didn't come on for his unsolicited advice about a love life that's working for her
ok so she believes in courting ("being involved with romantically, typically with the intention of marrying.") but she's in an open relationship? does anyone else not notice how those are literally the opposite of each other? she should have said she believes in dating then but i guess. she is very beautiful though. if she found the man she wants, why are they in an open relationship? it sounds like shes still looking for "the one" but saying she found someone she loves dearly and wants to be with. shes contradicting herself too much. she is very articulate and carries herself with class though.
She also said "the Christian Fatih, style of courting"! Now are you doing it Christian style or not? This is a lot, and Ive seen people get hurt over stuff like this!
I thought I was the only one, she said she likes the Christian courting concept but she dates multiple men??? Does that not completely contradict one another??? My C.O.G.I.C church mother would've had a fit!!! 😂😂😂
He’s just holding on to her until he can find someone else. If he really wanted her, he wouldn’t want any other men getting close to her, not even for a simple dinner date. He’d want her all to himself if he was really in love with her.
@@clayshamz no y’all are just blind to the game and don’t understand how it goes. When you are THE option you play the game to your liking and benefit. Steve knows this that’s why his whole game is giving women the upper hand. He wants women to have all the power
You could see it all on Shannon's face when Steve broke it down. He spoke the real truth. From a man's perspective; as women we can make up any scenario or accept things as we are given. But he is right this man is going to hurt her in the long run. Sad to say it's true he never choose her she is like a permanent hang on to wait until he makes a true decision. That is unfair. I think it's great that she dates other people but living together is another thing. He has the rode map & the compass; but she is in the passenger seat with a fake wheel. I hate it when people convince beautiful, smart, talented women to compromise or conform to be a good enough to be a man's fantasy but not his commitment as a wife.
You're making a lot of asaumptions here, as was Steve. You're assuming that the open relationship is a compromise she made for the benefit of her partner. Not the case. She would be in an open relationship regardless of who her partner was, because that's how SHE wants to love and do relationships.
Agree with u. If he finds someone else in 10 years, she will flip out. Marriage is a legal religious word but living relationships can function like one too. She will be as heart broken as a married women or living in partner if he call quits. Women and men go into relationships knowing they might end or find a better person else where.i really dont get open relation if both are not dating around.how open is ur relation ig ur happy with guy but he is still looking elsr where??? Seems like her end of it is closed but his is still open! I suspect he got commitment issue and to some degree her too.but she seem sure he is the one .
YOU DON'T KNOW THEM!! Have you ever heard of personal experience? You are not Shan and Shan is not you. All of what you're saying is based on personal perspective, your reality is NOT her reality!
This girl is fake ass hell she doing because she dont want to let go of this man she could care less about another man she going to hold her pain back swallow your pride wet up her pillow every night then act like every thing is great when she see him but just to be around him the little chance she get makes her hold at the time smh poor baby she basically deciding to be a side chick with a man she have known already for years he's not ready for her but he said she's not going anywhere sad 🙏🙏😢
Steve reaction was like that because he tries to keep women for not getting use but she just kept on insisting that is fine just like somebody's being abused smh she is as fake she lie in order for her to be around you it for them to stay in her life she's pretending like everything is okay like she agree with this she's just lying and I think Steve know she is because basically she is setting herself up for a deep heartbreak because why he's out them England what if you wanted to the woman that he wants to be with after she have given up her life all of those years I don't know who she thinks is kidding but I am a experience 49 years old never experience gifts but I know every woman wants to be loved by the man that they love just one on one smh 🙏
Someone is always going to get hurt in an open relationship, if they truly do love one another. It may seem cool for a while, but wait til you see them out with someone else, or worse, they end up choosing the other person they met to put the ring on! That would hurt anyone...
Yup it always happens. No matter how much you say oh we are fine with it. Deep down someone in the relationship is not okay with it. It's just not normal. People who do that are not truly happy.
Very true. You can date folks and not sleep with any of them. Do people these days really sleep with Every person they date?? And if so, since when did they start doing this?
Exactly. Nothing wrong with dating multiple. My version though is dating as in just meeting them no physical contact like u can go on a different date each day of the year with a different person and u have not kissed or slept with any of them I don't think that's a bad
If you really love somebody then you don't want them to be with anyone else, having a serious, intimate relationship is a connection that should be shared between two people not a bunch of them, if you're into adding someone to the bedroom to spice things up you do you, but I don't think that's how things should work as someone will get hurt, not everyone can be so open to sharing even if they think they are at the time, they might not be when the relationship grows stronger
Im sorry i cannot take Shannon's relationship advice.. her logic is like peeling an onion each layer brings u to tears.. how can u be such a contradiction u like courtship yet u are in an open relationship You make no sense love
I love that Shan stood her ground without being argumentative. And I liked that Steve took the chance to hear her out. Shan has grown a lot since her interview on The View. I like that this conversation can be had without either party being attacked for their lifestyle choice.
This is totally a bad thing , I’m with what mr.steve had said he gave her a big advice “grown advice" any person have a brain won’t accept that , how can you called it love while you doing such a things like that ?!
Ms Rana Thanks for the explanation, so this is another problem she is doing it , she is a lier and send negative thoughts to the people just to play with their minds and so their will be problems .. I don’t know what she want or thinking but maybe she needs a psychiatrist to figure that ..
Okay, so did you miss this part of the video when she said she HAS and isn't at the moment? She's in a relationship, HOWEVER, (Key word) if she DID meet someone who intrigued her, she would be open with her partner about the interest. Open relationships are built on a foundation solely based on COMMUNICATION.
How can it not be love? What does love mean to you? Everyone's needs to identify and specify what love means to them. Not this cookie cutter type of LOVE we learned about from TV and films. As she expressed, they're happy.
That's Friend with Benefits. That Ain't no LOVE. I can't imagine loving someone and let her having relations or being intimate with other people while we in a Relationship.
@@nenamamibrown4857 and I bet you she still sleeping with other dudes. She married the perfect dude that allows her to sleep around without consequences. He will be fine with it until its not fun anymore knowing she's out there messing around with other men.
1. i lovee how Steve makes his opinions sound like the foundational rules of the earth😂 2. im glad i agree with him 3. when Shannon said that she's in control....that her arrangement with this man allows her to be in control it suddenly made so much sense to me. ive been following her and Jared's relationship and what they have is soo beautiful but I think that until Shan is really able to let go of her desire to remain in a place where she still has a measure of control and a way to rationalize his potential rejection of her or even hers of him. She'll never truely experience all love has to offer. Perfect love exists without fear. And fear and control are bedfellows. But then maybe i have this opinion because i have a different access to information than she does 😂
She needs the Lord as we all do. His love is unconditional and He never leaves nor forsakes His people. Shannon is lost and perhaps simply just doesn't want to be hurt again if she has been. But this open relationship lifestyle isn't the remedy to prevent being hurt by a man. It could hurt more in the end. How can she not be jealous for him? Doesn't it hurt her alone knowing that he sees other women or has seen them or kisses them how she desires to be kissed? Perhaps she doesn't have as much self esteem as she thinks? 😕 Lord help her.
whew chile this hit the nail on theeeee head. All of what you said is correct. I got second-hand embarrassment for her. Steve is savage, but hes also right!
Is it really rational to think something as engrained in us as fear just disappears with "perfect love"? Y'all definitely have access to different information.
Basically if a man's ok with that he doesn't love his women. Plain and simple you're just friends with benefits. She's trying to convince herself it works
I think that's dangerous to date multiple people. I believe in just waiting on the guy God has for you. Dating multiple people and sleeping w/them is nasty!
There is nothing wrong with dating multiple people as in going out on dates not sleeping with them. If you plan to WAIT for God to send you a man, you will be waiting your whole life dear. God helps those who help themselves, if you want a man you need to go out and date. God won’t send you a man while you sit on your couch every week watching Netflix 🤷🏾♂️
Naturally E me personally I don’t have a problem with ppl DATING multiple ppl but SLEEPING with multiple ppl now that’s dangerous all on its own dating multiple ppl DOESN’T mean sleeping with multiple ppl let’s make that clear!!!
That relationship she was talking ab turned into marriage w a baby on the way. Just bc it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense for her. Y’all so judgy
I agree with Steve, you should respect each other's time & commitment by staying loyal to the person you love, and honouring that one relationship. Knowing your worth, and knowing what you want as a high value woman includes respect for your body; Intimacy means much more when it's meant for that one true person who shares this vision with you.
TV SCENE and I respect her for that and if her man is ok with this arrangement so be it however I think low key he’s not really ok with his girl dating other guys that’s just me lol
she know what she wants and what works for her. she isn't afraid of your options of it. When she said "thats why you are marjorie man" I knew she was happy in her decision. she explained herself well and got her point across in a respectful way. once she repeated it. Steve knew to mind his own family
I use to have a friend like that. We’re not friends anymore too much drama. Men are simple but hell he gets to have multiple women. That’s her business.
The way Steve jumped into dad advice mode 😂 he’s the best. I can respect both sides, to each their own.. but I really like how respectful the exchange was!
Right on the money Steve. When we decide that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we can't just do whatever we please and at the same time please our Creator, then we'll get it. Open relationship!!??? SMH
Exactly. We are to please God what are my body and souls. This is a direct violation of the institution of marriage that Christ has defined. Who are we to redefine marriage? This Is A Dangerous Game.
I don't believe anything she just said. As a man, I know we cannot tolerate that kind of behavior. When we/men are deeply in love with a woman, we don't make room for other men. Imagine one day, her man calls her after a long day of work. "Babe can you make me some lasagna? She replies "Sorry babe, I can't. I'm going out for dinner with Jack". The man asks who is Jack? She says my new date and he happily says have fun! This is just a nice story for tv lol
😂😂 that's true but ppl fail to realize that love or even attraction usually is mostly phycological it's an idea nothing is written in stone on how to love or what to be attracted to all that we know about love is what we experience we usually don't use instinct to date or use self awareness we let external influences dictate how we love
I know this lady who is in the open relationship. She has a UA-cam channel. But her and her man have never dated other people so her advice has not even been tested
Dee Dee Sne n her bf have not. Listen carefully when Steve asks her has she dated another man she said no but she’s allowed to Even on her channel during a Q&A she said they have not dated others n people called her out
At 1:43 she says she has in the past but she's not exclusively dating anyone else at this time. How is that her saying that shes never dated anyone else during their relationship?
Its funny how everybody comments on this relationship but don't know anything that's going on with it. lol 1. They're engaged 2. Before they got engaged they were honest about going out on dates with other people. 3. They're happy with each other. Follow her UA-cam channel and you'll know more.
That's not love. She doesn't know what love is, the poor thing. That's just attention-seeking. No guy who wants something long-term will want to be with someone whom they know is seeing others because they're in an "open relationship". Sorry but she's gonna have no luck finding someone to keep. But maybe being heartless is what she wants.
Hunaid Hake Did you not hear that she was in an open relationship? There's two consenting adults living the kind of life and creating the kind of relationship they choose. Is their a problem with that?
Professing to be wise but yet they are fools! This generation is going down the toilet (they think they are 'enlightened' but yet they are in utter darkness...Jesus save them!smh😐 When her man goes on 'a date' with someone that he completely falls in love with and leaves then she will see... If a man is in completely in LOVE with u he won't wanna see ANYONE! Else with u...period!
Please don't curse the generation. Uplift us and believe that God can break any yolk. And he is already using millenials now. "The first will be last and the last will be first."
I’m glad he had Shan in because it’s so old fashion sometimes and it’s nice to hear different things although I’m keeping my traditional relationship I respect her choice
Dating is different from a relationship, and neither is entitled to sex... If it's put that way then I get it and agree but Steve has a point. If in a already established relationship, everyone is allow to date and entertain others and seek out new opportunities, it seems like it could cloud the progression of the relationship. Accepted distractions doesn't encourage someone to make decision and be more committal, but can result in time being wasted.
Open relationships are more common than we talk about in our society. Thanks for bringing it to the narrative!!!! Just because monogamy is the relationship default setting, doesn’t make it a one size fits all for every couple!!!
After being in a longterm relationship with someone for 3 years and he hasn't married you yet... I'd say the odds are low... I say that with love. #nohate
If a woman will let you date and screw everybody you want to and rarely goes out on a date herself, wouldnt you marry her? Lol idiots don't grow on trees
I'm not into open relationship but I LOVE that she held her own and stuck to her opinions and didn't let Steve try to shame her like he was obviously attempting to do.
I feel like she wasn’t really listening to Steve’s point and just addressed what he said to make him feel heard. Personally open relationships never made sense to me.
I've never dated multiple people as well. However I'm starting to think it's not a bad idea, that way you don't get emotionally to attached and worry about why this person didn't text you a certain time or whatever. Dating is collecting data from another individual. Not to be confused with having sex.
I actually feel that dating one person is best. The reason is if a person has mulitple people to get to know its hard to try to figure out who may or may not be right for you. If you are dealing with the one person you can have more focus on the one person and nine times out of ten you spot the right person for you or/and you can spot the red flags there are any and get out. Another thing people need to do is pray. Pray to God and ask for him to bring the right person in your life and keep the wrong person away from you. When do that, you have to really pay attention and recieve the message.
I'm actually in a similar situation now. I've been in committed relationships and it was more stress than need be. Ive been with my current guy almost 4 years now, and just knowing there no pressure to get to a "point" in our relationship has been enjoyable. Alot of people dont understand it but we have an agreement and it works for us.
and what happens when he goes with a woman and she turns around and goes decide me or her and he chooses her are you going to be happy about that?? open relationships only work if both people are getting on the side other wise the other will always get hurt and at some point one will what this to stop and if the other is still hunting you will get hurt
@@laylen245 its funny you replied because me and the guy arent together anymore because he couldn't handle me getting attention. He was the one who initiated the open relationship but once we got close to 5 years I guess he realized he put himself in a situation he didnt want. I personally have no issue with a guy telling me he wants to be in a committed relationship with someone else and we agree to end it. In most situations, people dont like ultimatums and tend to break it off with those people. I have a guy friend where he and I both have had issues with our partners not wanting us to be friends and we chose our friendship over them. My firend has been married over 3 years and have a second baby on the way and his wife is actually close with one of his other female friends who I ended up working with
@@michellerichardson3090 yeah i just know i couldn't do it. im cool with them talking to ever they please but as for spending the night with other man nope just not me. i hope you found someone that treats you right :)
Steve and many of the people in the comments projected personal relationship wants and values on her. I love that she did not back down. She knows what she wants and what works for her just as much as any of us. A person's choice is greater than your opinion. Not everyone wants it the way that's popularized on TV on in pop culture. Stop trying to fix something that isn't broken. Just because it isn't your way doesn't mean it's broken or doesn't work. There are so many paths to happiness and successful relationships. Too many people develop their "relationship goals" based on what they see instead of what they want. She knows what she wants and that's clear.
If you’ve been dating someone for three years, with no engagement, that’s an issue….she said they are in an open relationship until there is a ring on her finger…that may never happen because y’all both can do what you want when you want, no marriage required
Thank you so so much to Steve for having me on this show. I feel like I did a MASSIVE disservice to people in open relationships by making it sound like it's an interim to marriage. I know much better than that. Many people are in successful, long-term marriages that are open. I definitely could have articulated myself better and I tried to fit two thoughts together that didn't fit. As for my relationship, neither of us value exclusivity as a rule to follow. It's a choice we make but we leave the option open for one another to make a different choice and for that not to mean the end. It works for us bc we both do better when we feel like we have autonomy. And that's what relationships are about, how can I inspire the best out of someone while being the best me. And in my relationship I feel like the best me unequivocally. I also feel inspired by Steve who I think can say the same about his relationship! Or anyone, despite their style, who can say that too. oxo thanks for allowing me to be a thought starter
Wow!! You should be ashamed of yourself coming out to say this on national TV. Even celebrities like Will and Jade Smith that people speculate that are in open marriage/relationship (even if they are ) do not come to proudly talk about it . You are in no place to give any advice about relationship whatsoever so just keep quiet and keep your disgusting open relationship pride to yourself. People with simple common sense do not need you to tell them how good it is.
We live in a new age now. Back then, the traditional boy meets girl, boy chases girl, boy loves girl, boy marries girl is old to young people dating today. Now a days, men feel like they are the prize and feel women should start speaking up on what they want and making the first move instead of the guy doing it. It's so different now plus tons of people hold so many different standards. But I think what Shan was trying to convey is the possibility of being in a relationship with someone you consider your prime option towards marriage and starting a family while still exploring other options to really see if your prime option is truly right for you which is HER own choosing. Not all women do this so for the guy hes able to have his cake and eat it too so he likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Hell it could honestly be a turn on for them both which keeps their relationship fueled
years ago, when I drove a school bus, one boy asked if it was wrong to date more than one girl. I told him that it was ok as long as you were open and not giving the impression that she was the only one.
I can date multiple people at the same time but I'm not sleeping with any of them. It's just me hanging out with people. And I am an honest person so I will make sure that the people that I am dating don't get the idea that I'm only dating them
I agree totally with steve harvey. You give your heart and soul to the right person. Not to other many people. A high value wise woman knows whats her high value's and standards are in her love life . Its about respecting yourself. I belief strongly that true love wins always for the right person who comes on our road. Our body ans soul is not made to give and share other people at the sametime. Our body and soul is made, to give on the right person. I always say :" we are precious pearls , we have to save ourself to the right person who respect us for our high value's and standards ". Show yourself like percious pearl to the right person , the one and only !!
everybody hating on shannon’s way of thinking bc they can’t understand something they don’t want to understand. Y’all it’s 2020, she married this man and their about to have a kid. this works for ppl! don’t hate bc u don’t know. i swear y’all be bitter to be bitter.
I love how Steve stands up for what he believes in, even if it's against the norm - and the whole crowd.
Yea he's the only one that went against the PC culture
@@gfivefour what's the PC culture?
Because he’s not wrong lol
From my experience, when a man is ready to be "ALL IN" he's not willing to share. Otherwise, he's just doing him...
I don't agree with her, but I like that she didn't back down.
eeikochan you can’t do nothing but respect her for her stance
My girl didn’t back DOWN! she was like I said what I said. And what 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't mean what she's doing is going to be beneficial. It will most likely end in heartache.
She is hard hheade and that is why she would not back down. Stubborn and confused.
You but would you want to be in a relationship with such a stubborn person... i don’t think so.
I love when I see two adults discussing their difference of opinions so maturely, without trashing the other person just because you disagree. Such a rare thing nowadays...
Lmaooo "You dont need to teach no class you need to be quiet" 😂😂😂 Steve is hilarious!!
Lol "man look here this this some new mess like.."
She way ahead of him tho
".... coz now you're our girl."
He was right
🤣
I personally cannot date more than one person at the same time. Guys are already stressful and annoying lol. That's too much multi-tasking
Kim D. SO RIGHT !!!!!!!!!!
Kim D.
You have a point
what about dating but just nothing sexual i think its okay
ayesha t I'm only talking about dating without any sexual activities involved. I don't think there's anything wrong with it but its just not for me.
nah you are right girl its pretty nasty to sleep with any man you date
Although I don’t agree with Shan, I think she articulated herself well and I was able to understand her point.
Same. It's not my style nor do I believe in Open Relationships but I'm all about doing what works for you and if it works for her, by all means.
Her explanation was good up until she confidently said that she "loves" and lives with the guy. If you love him, you wouldn't be seeking more options. If you're dating multiple people, why would you live with one of them during this time?
Yes exactly. I agree with you
The Tran Le Family
She's shopping.
She has a home but is still doing walk-throughs of other places to live.
Or interviewing for other job opportunities while still working for her employer.
How is it any different?
What is her level of commitment to that house or job?
Not too terribly solid.
When you look at it this way it clearer to see it.
So let me ask you this, would she be up for a promotion or given more responsibility in the future to manage?
(From an employer employee standpoint of an agreement as opposed to a superior inferior point of view.)
Is she dedicated and fully committed to the situation she has? I wish her bf was there to weigh in. It would have been enlightening.
She just defending her choice. It doesn’t mean it’s a right choice or a good one. She just defending herself. She is in denial.
Why live together if you're into dating other people?
Jacqueline F rent free
Because they are not enough for each other.
Someone's bi-sexual and it's mostly the woman
I agree. That only creates problems.
I think she loves him more than he loves her tbh
I think that Shannon makes it “sound good” in her head to make herself feel good, but in reality, the guy is winning and Steve Harvey knows it. He gets to have his cake & eat it too & I guarantee you, she’s going to get hurt in the end .. so sad man
She will . She probably regrets it already . But pride will let her keep the pain and act like it is well to the outside world . She's over confident, and it's clearly burying herself.
@@clayshamz She's married to that guy now
Nothing sad about it. If she enjoying herself, have at it. I just think its irresponsible to tell other women to do things counterproductive to what they actually want to get. Her method of dating will result in being single or being in a relationship with a man that she does not love and respect.
@@Brooklyn100NY It won't last long
She also enjoys the sex. Why always ppo see men enjoy the sex more ?

serious facts
Open relationship.....
Living together.......
Hmmmm .........how does that work? 🤷🏽♀️
Ok......Steve I think I’m with you on this.
Tolzie O I agree with you,it seems not right
basically being used until one half finds someone they really want, screw that no matter how attractive another person is physically.
Yet a part of her would be jealous when he is with other girls but she is denying it. I am with Steve on this one too
makeupbypushie of course! So much hypocrisy and fakeness in this world ughhh!!!😬
Judeline Augustin True that 👍🏼
It's a difference between dating and being in a relationship.
marco baker yeah a date could just be hanging out
So if im dating u can i also date someone else?
Never thought of that..
They aren't IN love with each other. When a couple is in love, they wouldn't be able to be in an open relationship for 3 years.
Chika Nworah
What did you come up with your own definition of what love is and now everyone is supposed to follow your definition?
Love has one universal definition.
I guess they just want a regular source of sex and call it a relationship.
I recognize everybody map Of the world is different and yet I do not believe they're in love either and I believe they're enjoying spending time with others my belief is when you are in love with someone you can't dare to see the person you love when anyone else but you so it sounds like she's just waiting on him.
They are married now
This some new mess! I absolutely agree with Steve. I dislike when young ppl try to be so deep for no reason. Nobody in their rt mind wants to openly share their spouse with others.
"I like the christian way... courting and not dating... Also, I am in an open relationship"😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
A walking contradiction... smh
christians date too
Exactly! So if a Man Says that we have a double standards.
susanne anique I was about to say that ain’t no Christian way of courtship I’ve heard 😂
The way she defines open relationship is different. You have to watch her channel.
What? Any other man she dates if he's a keeper will not be okay with the fact that she already lives with a man. She can say she has her own advice and feel good about it, but in reality he's putting her on hold.
пока
The fact if he's a keeper or not is irrelevant because she's already in a relationship. So logically the guy would have to accept that or he would have to go find someone if he wants that kind of exclusive relationship right?
AS R
Right… It negated the whole topic of the show.
They are not what each other want
They're just going to enjoy the sex because she's beautiful. They don't care about her or her open relationship.
That's not a relationship, that's best friends with benefits lol
Rachelle Gimonet facts
He probably paying all the bills.
Exactly lol
Rachelle Gimonet exactly!!!
No. It's a relationship.
She didn't really address Steve's point. You love him... You live with him.... And you're okay if he ends up being with another girl????? She's not in love with him. Idc what nobody says
Amy nope and that's clear! To me Real love is Exclusive ,. Period!
Not all people are exclusive. It's hard to explain but for some, if u love then u are willing to let that person go. Also I let a person go & they don't return they were never for me anyway.
@@jenniferhill8776 that makes no sense. If you love something fight for it and fighting for it means that you don't want someone else to have what you want.
@@dammymurphy3964 there is a different type of love whereby you want the person you care about to be happy. If they love you & u were meant to be then they will return to you. So NO you do not always have to fight for love or fight for the one you love. You can let them know u love them & have the will to let them be free (for example even after u have a good relationship). Now, from what I've seen from polyamorous couples some people are truly fine loving more than one person & them all living together raising kids etc.
Also there are plenty of people who Fight for shet that doesn't want them, or who seem to like them but then leave them later on anyway so consider that. Fighting for the one you love, sure. But should everyone always do it? No. Perhaps the one who u love won't be fighting for you. Now if u both fight for each other, great. But it's just one person fighting for the other, the 'fighter' may be setting themselves up for a lost cause.
There is maturity in loving someone & letting go is the person you love is not sure, is young or needs time/ or more relationships to explore. If u love a person rite & u were meant to be then they will return even if it's years later in your life. Alternatively think of all the ladies clowning and fighting for a man, their man who've they've been with for years & maybe has kids with him, whom their man is talking & seeing chicks on the side
@@jenniferhill8776 I get that. I guess what I meant by fighting is that if ssomeone loves you as much as you love them then you should keep doing things that puts them first or actions that considers their feelings and lets them know that they matter to you the most and notbing in this world is as important as them. Thats what I meant by fighting. If I'm involved with someone that wants to have their cake and eat it too then thats not real love. Its hard to describe in few words. Love is such a broad and complicated thing that I cant explain it fully however what ive realized is that most people don't even fully get what love is. A lot of people profess it but their body language and actions are the exact opposite of what love is
“You don’t need to teach no class, you need to be quiet. This crazy!” 😂😩 Thank You Steve!! Lol
She can dress it up and put a bow on it and it's still not a good thing.
Playing with fire.
Wow.
Carol Loraine they’re married now
They are married with a daughter now so...............
@@iamshervonne so she got lucky, she's clearly a exception and in my opinion, being married don't mean nothing because a lot of people are married and have a horrible marriage/relationship. Don't romanize things. A man always will be a man and only God knows what is happening behind closed doors 🙄😒
@@evalinacesarcassule5097 it’s playing with fire committing to someone before marriage. You are playing house and wasting time. PERIOD
Shan feels attacked.. i can tell
Noreen Muhwati shan doesn't feel attacked. shan is BEING attacked lol i like steve but she didn't come on for his unsolicited advice about a love life that's working for her
lime light She came on that show knowing there would be a dialogue and it's his show. He's very opinionated as well as she- she was prepared
who wouldn't, I felt attacked for her too lol
lime light i agree, i dont think he meant it to come out like that though..
Island Gal shes used to it i guess
ok so she believes in courting ("being involved with romantically, typically with the intention of marrying.") but she's in an open relationship? does anyone else not notice how those are literally the opposite of each other? she should have said she believes in dating then but i guess. she is very beautiful though. if she found the man she wants, why are they in an open relationship? it sounds like shes still looking for "the one" but saying she found someone she loves dearly and wants to be with. shes contradicting herself too much. she is very articulate and carries herself with class though.
Thank you!!! 🤦🏽♀️ Gurl What!!!!
Seems like you fear possibly not being his one, so let’s keep my options open just in case.
Cheyenne Michelle-Rena yes I agree. She made no sense 😐
Rochelle Love and Nicole I'm glad y'all see it too because I was confused.
She also said "the Christian Fatih, style of courting"! Now are you doing it Christian style or not? This is a lot, and Ive seen people get hurt over stuff like this!
I thought I was the only one, she said she likes the Christian courting concept but she dates multiple men??? Does that not completely contradict one another??? My C.O.G.I.C church mother would've had a fit!!! 😂😂😂
Issa hard no for me...cuz soul ties 🤷🏾♀️
Tedra Daigre thank u very few mention that
Tedra Daigre soul ties?
Say it again for the people in the back !!!
It’s real
find a spell break your ties
till you both unify
He’s just holding on to her until he can find someone else. If he really wanted her, he wouldn’t want any other men getting close to her, not even for a simple dinner date. He’d want her all to himself if he was really in love with her.
Theyre married w 2 kids
Steve is right. He is speaking with over 25 plus years of experience over Shannon. What he is saying is definitely worth considering.
The dude has gotten married 3 times! Lol yeah, he gives solid advice but is he correct 100% of the time? Definitely not.
The gal is blind and over confidence makes her think she can see .
She's married to him now and they have a kid and another one on the way
@@clayshamz They are married now and have a child and a baby on the way
@@clayshamz no y’all are just blind to the game and don’t understand how it goes. When you are THE option you play the game to your liking and benefit. Steve knows this that’s why his whole game is giving women the upper hand. He wants women to have all the power
You could see it all on Shannon's face when Steve broke it down. He spoke the real truth. From a man's perspective; as women we can make up any scenario or accept things as we are given. But he is right this man is going to hurt her in the long run. Sad to say it's true he never choose her she is like a permanent hang on to wait until he makes a true decision. That is unfair. I think it's great that she dates other people but living together is another thing. He has the rode map & the compass; but she is in the passenger seat with a fake wheel. I hate it when people convince beautiful, smart, talented women to compromise or conform to be a good enough to be a man's fantasy but not his commitment as a wife.
To me it doesn't sound like he had to convince her of one thing!
You're making a lot of asaumptions here, as was Steve. You're assuming that the open relationship is a compromise she made for the benefit of her partner. Not the case. She would be in an open relationship regardless of who her partner was, because that's how SHE wants to love and do relationships.
But she is confident
Agree with u. If he finds someone else in 10 years, she will flip out.
Marriage is a legal religious word but living relationships can function like one too.
She will be as heart broken as a married women or living in partner if he call quits.
Women and men go into relationships knowing they might end or find a better person else where.i really dont get open relation if both are not dating around.how open is ur relation ig ur happy with guy but he is still looking elsr where??? Seems like her end of it is closed but his is still open!
I suspect he got commitment issue and to some degree her too.but she seem sure he is the one .
YOU DON'T KNOW THEM!! Have you ever heard of personal experience? You are not Shan and Shan is not you. All of what you're saying is based on personal perspective, your reality is NOT her reality!
This is a mess. That’s not a relationship.
This girl is fake ass hell she doing because she dont want to let go of this man she could care less about another man she going to hold her pain back swallow your pride wet up her pillow every night then act like every thing is great when she see him but just to be around him the little chance she get makes her hold at the time smh poor baby she basically deciding to be a side chick with a man she have known already for years he's not ready for her but he said she's not going anywhere sad 🙏🙏😢
Welcome to the current mindset... It's sad.
Rochelle Miller they’re married lol
Cohnflay which is why I think this is really old
Shes going to get her hear broken and she planned lol.
Agree with Steve!
“Now you aint my girl...now you our girl” 😂😂
Thats sound communism but ok xD
Open relationship? STDs? Crazy
😂😂😂 steve's reaction
Steve reaction was like that because he tries to keep women for not getting use but she just kept on insisting that is fine just like somebody's being abused smh she is as fake she lie in order for her to be around you it for them to stay in her life she's pretending like everything is okay like she agree with this she's just lying and I think Steve know she is because basically she is setting herself up for a deep heartbreak because why he's out them England what if you wanted to the woman that he wants to be with after she have given up her life all of those years I don't know who she thinks is kidding but I am a experience 49 years old never experience gifts but I know every woman wants to be loved by the man that they love just one on one smh 🙏
Someone is always going to get hurt in an open relationship, if they truly do love one another. It may seem cool for a while, but wait til you see them out with someone else, or worse, they end up choosing the other person they met to put the ring on! That would hurt anyone...
Christina I’ve tried this and I’d say yes someone will be hurt if not both at different stages
She just cant commit and will never be happy. And just using this as an excuse and cant admit it to herself.
can't agree more
Yup it always happens. No matter how much you say oh we are fine with it. Deep down someone in the relationship is not okay with it. It's just not normal. People who do that are not truly happy.
@@stektirade Exactly!
You can date without sleeping with someone. That is where many people start confusing and hating on multi-dating.
Very true. You can date folks and not sleep with any of them. Do people these days really sleep with Every person they date?? And if so, since when did they start doing this?
Yeah but who the hell just dates someone they attracted to. Men aint in it for the lovely conversation.
U delusional! If u think guys gonna keep dating a woman and aint getting no coochie
Exactly. Nothing wrong with dating multiple. My version though is dating as in just meeting them no physical contact like u can go on a different date each day of the year with a different person and u have not kissed or slept with any of them I don't think that's a bad
Class act lady! Loved loved her rebuttals, she didn't get angry or upset, handled the opposite views and 'advice' with dignity and respect. Beautiful.
Imagine the outrage if these were men giving the exact same answers to the exact same questions
Exactly bruh 😂 Tomi Lahren just did her rant telling guys not to date multiple girls but look what we have lmao
lmfao, men just cheat!!! they are not as honest as Shan is.
If you really love somebody then you don't want them to be with anyone else, having a serious, intimate relationship is a connection that should be shared between two people not a bunch of them, if you're into adding someone to the bedroom to spice things up you do you, but I don't think that's how things should work as someone will get hurt, not everyone can be so open to sharing even if they think they are at the time, they might not be when the relationship grows stronger
Charlotte Wookey
Why do you feel the need to create a your own definition of love and impose it onto others?
Gary Green I'm just saying that's how I feel , everyone is entitled to an opinion...
Charlotte you are right. Never mind the other person who is defending doing their wrong.
This is what I love about Steve, he's honest about his opinion, even if it ain't pc
Im sorry i cannot take Shannon's relationship advice.. her logic is like peeling an onion each layer brings u to tears.. how can u be such a contradiction u like courtship yet u are in an open relationship
You make no sense love
ifynne1 it's an ingredient for an emotional disaster.....
Cause she is diluted and cant admit to herself of what she really is.
Because she recognizes that works for her does not work for everyone. . .duh. she's a sex educator not a person that gives advice based on her life.
😅🤣
I love Steve's reaction! 🤣🤣 "What y'all clapping for!!" 🤣🤣
love how she held herself down, and standing by her choice while being respectful and not getting angry
This is some "Jezebel" nonsense
kingtutakhamon AMEN!
😂
Yupp.
Preach it🙏🏻
Very true, the world is coming to an end
I love that Shan stood her ground without being argumentative. And I liked that Steve took the chance to hear her out. Shan has grown a lot since her interview on The View. I like that this conversation can be had without either party being attacked for their lifestyle choice.
I agree with you on Shannon, but Steve was definitely attacking her choice ..
She is not my cup of tea. Glad Steve had the balls to "advice" her.
@@marcuslouison3998 exactly he was too old school
she stopd her ground for something no ome should be following. its ridiculous
This is totally a bad thing , I’m with what mr.steve had said he gave her a big advice “grown advice" any person have a brain won’t accept that , how can you called it love while you doing such a things like that ?!
Faisal Alhaidary agreed
Ms Rana Thanks for the explanation, so this is another problem she is doing it , she is a lier and send negative thoughts to the people just to play with their minds and so their will be problems .. I don’t know what she want or thinking but maybe she needs a psychiatrist to figure that ..
Love means sacrifices and commitment. Steve is right.
Okay, so did you miss this part of the video when she said she HAS and isn't at the moment? She's in a relationship, HOWEVER, (Key word) if she DID meet someone who intrigued her, she would be open with her partner about the interest. Open relationships are built on a foundation solely based on COMMUNICATION.
How can it not be love? What does love mean to you? Everyone's needs to identify and specify what love means to them. Not this cookie cutter type of LOVE we learned about from TV and films. As she expressed, they're happy.
Shannon you are so intelligent. I love the way you handle everyone's supportive and unsupportive opinions
That’s just friends with benefits living together. She’s so out of it
That's Friend with Benefits. That Ain't no LOVE. I can't imagine loving someone and let her having relations or being intimate with other people while we in a Relationship.
That girl is DELUSIONAL...she better listen to Uncle Steve!
and again. coming from a man. but miss know it all, you cant tell her nothing. she's likely got a hurt road down that path
Welp, they're married now, so...
@@justcassie.3758 Married my ass
She was right they married now
@@nenamamibrown4857 and I bet you she still sleeping with other dudes. She married the perfect dude that allows her to sleep around without consequences. He will be fine with it until its not fun anymore knowing she's out there messing around with other men.
1. i lovee how Steve makes his opinions sound like the foundational rules of the earth😂
2. im glad i agree with him
3. when Shannon said that she's in control....that her arrangement with this man allows her to be in control it suddenly made so much sense to me. ive been following her and Jared's relationship and what they have is soo beautiful but I think that until Shan is really able to let go of her desire to remain in a place where she still has a measure of control and a way to rationalize his potential rejection of her or even hers of him. She'll never truely experience all love has to offer. Perfect love exists without fear. And fear and control are bedfellows. But then maybe i have this opinion because i have a different access to information than she does 😂
Destiny Bennett 🤣🤣😂😂
She needs the Lord as we all do. His love is unconditional and He never leaves nor forsakes His people.
Shannon is lost and perhaps simply just doesn't want to be hurt again if she has been. But this open relationship lifestyle isn't the remedy to prevent being hurt by a man. It could hurt more in the end.
How can she not be jealous for him? Doesn't it hurt her alone knowing that he sees other women or has seen them or kisses them how she desires to be kissed?
Perhaps she doesn't have as much self esteem as she thinks? 😕
Lord help her.
whew chile this hit the nail on theeeee head. All of what you said is correct. I got second-hand embarrassment for her. Steve is savage, but hes also right!
😂😂😂 nice!!
Is it really rational to think something as engrained in us as fear just disappears with "perfect love"? Y'all definitely have access to different information.
Live you truth Shannon! I love that she’s so grounded in the fact that she’s in a happy relationship and if others don’t understand then so be it.
I LOVE the way she handled him. 👏
what man wants to share his girl with another dude lmao makes zero sense
Someone who knows that being in a relationship with someone doesn't mean you own them!
@@Ilikefrogs.. the walking cancer
Basically if a man's ok with that he doesn't love his women. Plain and simple you're just friends with benefits. She's trying to convince herself it works
I would kill my gf if she ever thought about it
the woman doesnt sleep with the guys, she dates them. That way she doesnt focus on one guy and finds the one who is most compatible
"You don't need to teach no class....." 😂😂😂
I think that's dangerous to date multiple people. I believe in just waiting on the guy God has for you. Dating multiple people and sleeping w/them is nasty!
Who said sleep with them??
Dating multiple people doesn't mean sleepling with multiple people booboo.
There is nothing wrong with dating multiple people as in going out on dates not sleeping with them. If you plan to WAIT for God to send you a man, you will be waiting your whole life dear. God helps those who help themselves, if you want a man you need to go out and date. God won’t send you a man while you sit on your couch every week watching Netflix 🤷🏾♂️
Naturally E me personally I don’t have a problem with ppl DATING multiple ppl but SLEEPING with multiple ppl now that’s dangerous all on its own dating multiple ppl DOESN’T mean sleeping with multiple ppl let’s make that clear!!!
Peter Parrish I felt personally attacked by this comment
Open relationship more like std central.... that’s just disrespecting yourself... you need to find someone who will satisfy you. just ONE
One is good enough
Yeah that girl will never be in a happy, satisfied marriage. Sounds like she just cant commit.
What about those who are never satisfied with one?
Welcome to this generation
That relationship she was talking ab turned into marriage w a baby on the way. Just bc it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense for her. Y’all so judgy
I agree with Steve, you should respect each other's time & commitment by staying loyal to the person you love, and honouring that one relationship. Knowing your worth, and knowing what you want as a high value woman includes respect for your body; Intimacy means much more when it's meant for that one true person who shares this vision with you.
A LEAST SHE IS HONEST !
TV SCENE and I respect her for that and if her man is ok with this arrangement so be it however I think low key he’s not really ok with his girl dating other guys that’s just me lol
TV SCENE It ain't much, but it's honest cucking.
I love that Shannon didnt back down..
AS R she stood in her conviction... that's all I met sis...
she know what she wants and what works for her. she isn't afraid of your options of it.
When she said "thats why you are marjorie man" I knew she was happy in her decision. she explained herself well and got her point across in a respectful way. once she repeated it. Steve knew to mind his own family
AS R she didn’t disrespect him at all
AS R no it’s not
I use to have a friend like that. We’re not friends anymore too much drama. Men are simple but hell he gets to have multiple women. That’s her business.
You held your own Shannon, love you for it.
Saber Rose right!!!!
She gonna hold the serious heartache on her own too
Oh she will be holding herself all by herself alright given time
Y'all she's married to him now
The way Steve jumped into dad advice mode 😂 he’s the best. I can respect both sides, to each their own.. but I really like how respectful the exchange was!
Steve said what y’all clapping fo’!! 😂😂😂😂
Right on the money Steve. When we decide that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and we can't just do whatever we please and at the same time please our Creator, then we'll get it. Open relationship!!??? SMH
Exactly. We are to please God what are my body and souls. This is a direct violation of the institution of marriage that Christ has defined. Who are we to redefine marriage? This Is A Dangerous Game.
Thank you! Amen!
I don't believe anything she just said. As a man, I know we cannot tolerate that kind of behavior. When we/men are deeply in love with a woman, we don't make room for other men. Imagine one day, her man calls her after a long day of work. "Babe can you make me some lasagna? She replies "Sorry babe, I can't. I'm going out for dinner with Jack". The man asks who is Jack? She says my new date and he happily says have fun! This is just a nice story for tv lol
Da IBM lol
😂😂 that's true but ppl fail to realize that love or even attraction usually is mostly phycological it's an idea nothing is written in stone on how to love or what to be attracted to all that we know about love is what we experience we usually don't use instinct to date or use self awareness we let external influences dictate how we love
Loll I'm with this comment.
Who is Jack? lol!
"Can you make me some lasagna". 😂😂
I know this lady who is in the open relationship. She has a UA-cam channel. But her and her man have never dated other people so her advice has not even been tested
Miss Madeline so why did she say they do
dance4life1208 the have shes said it on her YT as well
Dee Dee Sne n her bf have not. Listen carefully when Steve asks her has she dated another man she said no but she’s allowed to
Even on her channel during a Q&A she said they have not dated others n people called her out
Miss Madeline I caught that she hasn't dated other people. She's full of crap.
At 1:43 she says she has in the past but she's not exclusively dating anyone else at this time. How is that her saying that shes never dated anyone else during their relationship?
From someone who's is happily in love in a open relationship I'm happy Shan stood up for her version of love without dissing anyone else's version
Its funny how everybody comments on this relationship but don't know anything that's going on with it. lol
1. They're engaged
2. Before they got engaged they were honest about going out on dates with other people.
3. They're happy with each other.
Follow her UA-cam channel and you'll know more.
TO EACH HIS OWN!
That is a white man philosophy.
That's not love. She doesn't know what love is, the poor thing. That's just attention-seeking. No guy who wants something long-term will want to be with someone whom they know is seeing others because they're in an "open relationship". Sorry but she's gonna have no luck finding someone to keep. But maybe being heartless is what she wants.
She never said she wanted to be married or is sleeping around just dating around, so it shouldn't matter.
Hunaid Hake
Did you not hear that she was in an open relationship? There's two consenting adults living the kind of life and creating the kind of relationship they choose. Is their a problem with that?
Professing to be wise but yet they are fools! This generation is going down the toilet (they think they are 'enlightened' but yet they are in utter darkness...Jesus save them!smh😐
When her man goes on 'a date' with someone that he completely falls in love with and leaves then she will see...
If a man is in completely in LOVE with u he won't wanna see ANYONE! Else with u...period!
L Van Etten Exactly.
Loud it please for those that intend to join this foolery

Facts
Don't address my entire generation please.
She sounds like the radio, repeating the same thing all over and over Lol.
I’m glad he had Shan in because it’s so old fashion sometimes and it’s nice to hear different things although I’m keeping my traditional relationship I respect her choice
Mr. Steve always have the right answer and great advice 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Dating is different from a relationship, and neither is entitled to sex... If it's put that way then I get it and agree but Steve has a point. If in a already established relationship, everyone is allow to date and entertain others and seek out new opportunities, it seems like it could cloud the progression of the relationship. Accepted distractions doesn't encourage someone to make decision and be more committal, but can result in time being wasted.
Girl please that’s what old school call game.
They got married
@@Lalacandoitall357 do I care? Naah I don't and the less I see people like her the more happy I am.
Open relationships are more common than we talk about in our society. Thanks for bringing it to the narrative!!!! Just because monogamy is the relationship default setting, doesn’t make it a one size fits all for every couple!!!
Preach it, Steve. He's as fed up with the lunacy as I am!
After being in a longterm relationship with someone for 3 years and he hasn't married you yet... I'd say the odds are low... I say that with love. #nohate
Why though everyone doesn't want to get married in 3 years. Everyone isn't chasing a ring, they may not be ready for marriage.
Chelsea Lyons they are getting married though.
If a woman will let you date and screw everybody you want to and rarely goes out on a date herself, wouldnt you marry her? Lol idiots don't grow on trees
They are married now
I see your point but id move it to 4 years or just under 5.
Steve shouldn’t be judging in this case lol. He had an open relationship in his marriage lmfao 😂😂😂
Jelissa Gonzalez that’s how he knows that if you go for the second one you don’t care too much about the first
I'm not into open relationship but I LOVE that she held her own and stuck to her opinions and didn't let Steve try to shame her like he was obviously attempting to do.
She Killed it. Did such a good job supporting her side of the research.
I feel like she wasn’t really listening to Steve’s point and just addressed what he said to make him feel heard. Personally open relationships never made sense to me.
I've never dated multiple people as well. However I'm starting to think it's not a bad idea, that way you don't get emotionally to attached and worry about why this person didn't text you a certain time or whatever.
Dating is collecting data from another individual. Not to be confused with having sex.
I actually feel that dating one person is best. The reason is if a person has mulitple people to get to know its hard to try to figure out who may or may not be right for you.
If you are dealing with the one person you can have more focus on the one person and nine times out of ten you spot the right person for you or/and you can spot the red flags there are any and get out.
Another thing people need to do is pray. Pray to God and ask for him to bring the right person in your life and keep the wrong person away from you. When do that, you have to really pay attention and recieve the message.
Steve is so right. He’s gonna keep hunting until he feel like making it more . A man will go as far as he can if u allow it
"You don't need to teach no class you need to be quiet, this crazy." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I died
I like you shannon but no
I'm actually in a similar situation now. I've been in committed relationships and it was more stress than need be. Ive been with my current guy almost 4 years now, and just knowing there no pressure to get to a "point" in our relationship has been enjoyable. Alot of people dont understand it but we have an agreement and it works for us.
and what happens when he goes with a woman and she turns around and goes decide me or her and he chooses her are you going to be happy about that?? open relationships only work if both people are getting on the side other wise the other will always get hurt and at some point one will what this to stop and if the other is still hunting you will get hurt
@@laylen245 its funny you replied because me and the guy arent together anymore because he couldn't handle me getting attention. He was the one who initiated the open relationship but once we got close to 5 years I guess he realized he put himself in a situation he didnt want. I personally have no issue with a guy telling me he wants to be in a committed relationship with someone else and we agree to end it. In most situations, people dont like ultimatums and tend to break it off with those people. I have a guy friend where he and I both have had issues with our partners not wanting us to be friends and we chose our friendship over them. My firend has been married over 3 years and have a second baby on the way and his wife is actually close with one of his other female friends who I ended up working with
@@michellerichardson3090 yeah i just know i couldn't do it. im cool with them talking to ever they please but as for spending the night with other man nope just not me. i hope you found someone that treats you right :)
Dating isn’t sex
Steve and many of the people in the comments projected personal relationship wants and values on her. I love that she did not back down. She knows what she wants and what works for her just as much as any of us. A person's choice is greater than your opinion. Not everyone wants it the way that's popularized on TV on in pop culture. Stop trying to fix something that isn't broken. Just because it isn't your way doesn't mean it's broken or doesn't work. There are so many paths to happiness and successful relationships. Too many people develop their "relationship goals" based on what they see instead of what they want. She knows what she wants and that's clear.
If you’ve been dating someone for three years, with no engagement, that’s an issue….she said they are in an open relationship until there is a ring on her finger…that may never happen because y’all both can do what you want when you want, no marriage required
Even entrepreneurs invest in more than one business and focus on the one that yields the most profit. Be wise ladies.
Thank you so so much to Steve for having me on this show. I feel like I did a MASSIVE disservice to people in open relationships by making it sound like it's an interim to marriage. I know much better than that. Many people are in successful, long-term marriages that are open. I definitely could have articulated myself better and I tried to fit two thoughts together that didn't fit. As for my relationship, neither of us value exclusivity as a rule to follow. It's a choice we make but we leave the option open for one another to make a different choice and for that not to mean the end. It works for us bc we both do better when we feel like we have autonomy. And that's what relationships are about, how can I inspire the best out of someone while being the best me. And in my relationship I feel like the best me unequivocally. I also feel inspired by Steve who I think can say the same about his relationship! Or anyone, despite their style, who can say that too. oxo thanks for allowing me to be a thought starter
Shan BOODY you handled yourself amazingly on the show! Thank you for sharing and educating more on open relationships and your experiences with them!
Wow!! You should be ashamed of yourself coming out to say this on national TV. Even celebrities like Will and Jade Smith that people speculate that are in open marriage/relationship (even if they are ) do not come to proudly talk about it .
You are in no place to give any advice about relationship whatsoever so just keep quiet and keep your disgusting open relationship pride to yourself. People with simple common sense do not need you to tell them how good it is.
Love you Steve
We live in a new age now. Back then, the traditional boy meets girl, boy chases girl, boy loves girl, boy marries girl is old to young people dating today.
Now a days, men feel like they are the prize and feel women should start speaking up on what they want and making the first move instead of the guy doing it. It's so different now plus tons of people hold so many different standards.
But I think what Shan was trying to convey is the possibility of being in a relationship with someone you consider your prime option towards marriage and starting a family while still exploring other options to really see if your prime option is truly right for you which is HER own choosing. Not all women do this so for the guy hes able to have his cake and eat it too so he likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Hell it could honestly be a turn on for them both which keeps their relationship fueled
I like the confidence of this lady
if you're not committed before marriage, it will be difficult to have that commitment in marriage
years ago, when I drove a school bus, one boy asked if it was wrong to date more than one girl. I told him that it was ok as long as you were open and not giving the impression that she was the only one.
I can date multiple people at the same time but I'm not sleeping with any of them. It's just me hanging out with people. And I am an honest person so I will make sure that the people that I am dating don't get the idea that I'm only dating them
Exactly! I'm not in this situation but can understand dating doesn't necessarily mean sleeping with everyone
I agree totally with steve harvey. You give your heart and soul to the right person. Not to other many people. A high value wise woman knows whats her high value's and standards are in her love life . Its about respecting yourself. I belief strongly that true love wins always for the right person who comes on our road. Our body ans soul is not made to give and share other people at the sametime.
Our body and soul is made, to give on the right person. I always say :" we are precious pearls , we have to save ourself to the right person who respect us for our high value's and standards ". Show yourself like percious pearl to the right person , the one and only !!
everybody hating on shannon’s way of thinking bc they can’t understand something they don’t want to understand. Y’all it’s 2020, she married this man and their about to have a kid. this works for ppl! don’t hate bc u don’t know. i swear y’all be bitter to be bitter.
Let people love the way they choose. As long as they're being honest with their partner(s), it's their life to live. One size does not fit all.
No ones stopping her by talking.
