I'm looking in the mirror I'm so afraid
I can have the world
do you know everybody hello hello welcome welcome this week two letters from the pain I'm your girl star
I am your house. R&B singer Nick Kia
and we have a very fun our for you guys so I hope you are ready
so we have a Superfund letter tonight well I don't know if it's fun but it's a letter before we going to get gas then a little bit later so hard why don't you drop
I'm here what's going on other than the pain world
all right you guys could you see one today I'm not even ready for me yeah it's it's a little it's a little juicy but we going to try to help them out and see people going through this so high ladies thank you for letting me vent you girls are awesome I've been married for 7 years and have recently decided I want to live with who I am for the past year I've been cool with a co-worker we flirted and had lunch a few times but last week we took it a bit further I felt something I've never felt before I liked it and I wanted more I want to be honest with my wife but this is a deal-breaker I'm sure ask for Mark
my coworker she too wants me to be open and honest. I get ass
okay mr. Anonymous do you sign scared ass so what you guys think I think it's time for him to just come on out and be open and honest because if this point if he's already having these feelings and he's been hanging out with this mark for a year it's time to tell wifey he's he's just really being scared about it because I know that he's apparently aware that it is a deal-breaker I mean even if the situation wasn't opposite Sexes I mean
I know if somebody that I was dating for that long just came out of nowhere and want to tell me they were seeing somebody else behind my back for year we have a problem yeah I think so too I think you should have waited I don't know I'm not familiar with you no homo sexuality in that type of thing in their inner feelings and how they go about that so I can't really tell him how to do that but just go ahead and be honest because it can get messy
I mean I think
is he Mark or is the the guy that is messing with Mark boyfriend is Mark
so I think from Mark Mark needs to run as far away as possible because regardless of the sexuality it's it's like the same thing with women like you're being a guy pees like you knew that man her wife so you need to run as far away as possible because that's what he's been having his cake and eat it too for a whole year in the app I got baklava over here but he did say that they just recently decided to take it from you so I don't think anything was going on for like the whole year okay honey connection and I understand that but I'm just saying in his defense it seems like he may have been trying to either cover up will continue to hide their feelings because he didn't want to make that appearance
we just recently decided to take it further with some sexual stuff involved and they went to the next level so it's in my opinion before that happens there should have been a conversation with him and wifey
weather man woman child or whoever it was who sings this but I'm feeling this is what I'm going through and I need you to either be here for me or not it is what it is but give her the opportunity to make their Mark wherever you are whatever station and stay away from my man please thank you. We're not having it what in the world Mark Mark Mark
I know there's a lot of men out there feeling uncomfortable right now cuz I name is Mark so they're probably like I was looking around but you guys are you feel free to call us at +1-888-867-6008 and talk about this I don't know what to say so I know you're listening and that's why I'm very nosey I'm wondering how long is he been married to his wife today are there any kids in common and he never mentioned about any children never said any children so I'm assuming there aren't any way any because a lot of times that's something that you would mention you know but he did say they were married for 7 years
not a whole lot of details on hoping he calls up and gives us a little inside but if not you guys he is listening so give him a little feedback and let's see what we going to do with this I'm just as I might he works so one of my biggest world is you don't see where you play what am I saying how about if we just get back to the roots to one person being with one person and being committed that you can't be committed or you don't want to be yes that's true but you know we living in America and we living in this world today you know that that's not really happening so my thing is if you have to do that don't be extra messy and do it where you work at I mean that's just a lot of these workplace romances happen because it's not always about sex it's about that emotional connection and he has with Mark while I bet you if we start doing like an eye for an eye and start chopping

think about the letter so you did you hear the letter
I know I wasn't able to I was trying to connect and go through all this process what was the letter there's a gentleman he kind of started a relationship he started a relationship with another guy at work but it's obvious he has a wife but it's a relationship with a guy they were kind of I guess messing around for a year but I guess they decided to
take it to the next level need The Fray I guess you like a phrase to tell his wife
what do you think about that what you think about that situation for a long time I mean he constantly hurting just let it go let her know Live in Your Truth at the end of the day but you got to let her know and let her go so she can live in her cuz she ain't in her troop right now
but you don't send us a letter next week that she might have Jody on the side you never know
I'm sure she do know I don't want to say that she might but at the end of the day was being done to her it's just not right. And girl if you want that listen and you need somebody to help you move him out I'll be there in my black son to wear my black sneakers I hope he do his stuff outside so we got wow
so are men I know I cure cancer in LA and where does it talk about like Holden and how that's affecting you know like your ability as an artist right now or how is how it's helped you as an artist I mean what's going on out there with Kobe because of the nonstop house so I've been doing for many years covid has really affected me in that sense cuz I'm independent so I've been using the internet all this time promoting myself so it's the same constant 20 hour work a day situation with me but of course going out perform promoting and all this stuff it truly has affected in that sense but thank God for social media but other than that you know is just
I just try to pray a lot and just follow what you know it is my face and just has no fear because at the end that I feel like that's the whole purpose with this whole situation just like anything else I was just putting fear in a lot of people and you just got up release all that so that's really where I'm at I'm still living my regular life thanking God every single day so so you have a song on your album called find a way that song sounds good so this one of my favorite songs I've ever done this was voted as top 500 best songs in the world buy billboard magazine this year and by the way written by me hope you all enjoy it
