He doesn't need to be in s relationship until he heals emotionally.

“I’m not fighting you, I’m fighting the world with you.” Girl that was deep! I love her saying that ❤️

This girl really loves him she sticks around even when no sex is involved and taking care of his child he needs to keep her and let her help him.

She had me in tears. She shows her love as well as spoke it

This is a great example of why a person needs to heal from trauma before they enter a relationship. They both need counseling to be honest and I hope they last

Being taken advantage of even if you male or female can be devastating.

That’s what I’m talking about “ I’m not fighting you I’m fighting the the world with you” ❤ that’s so amazing to hear from someone you can love

I truly hope more support was given to this young man because this is CLEARLY not something that can be dealt with on a tv show! He needs intensive support and all the signs are there.

She was on 10 when she came out, but what i like about her is how she cane down when he started expressing what he has been through. She turned into the Sweetest person. You can see in his face that he's constantly worried too. i hate seeing that when i look at people. Hopefully he's able to put the wall down so he can finally relax and release.

What a kind sweet man and a supportive woman. These two would probably be better off as friends until the healing has taken effect.

Yeah truth be told he does not have the capacity to be in a relationship while trying to heal at the same time. He’s completely numb. It’s not his fault that he has so much trauma. The world sucks and people suck. I hope he uses the resources that is given to him so he can heal for himself and that child. 😢

What a woman! Oh my goodness I love her, she is so, so supportive and it's all genuine ❤️.

He deserves so much in this life . Fighting to get custody of a child you had no hand in creating is beyond selfless . Ugh I just wanna hug him 😊

The comments are disturbing just because they haven’t been intimate does not mean he is gay this man was raped and if the roles was reversed y’all would not be calling the woman gay because she has not been intimate with her boyfriend y’all make me sick with that BS!

She left him speechless ❤

I was literally in tears watching this. This man seems so fragile, innocent and a genuine nice young man who deserves a woman who will love, understand, support and care him to be build a fulfilling and loving life that they desrve. I hope this woman is the one and if not pray that he finds that woman and she finds that man.

I can hear the pain in his voice. He's been through a lot, and I clearly understand why he feels the way he does. He is still traumatized and is definitely not over the sexual assault of his ex-girlfriend. I pray that he seeks counseling so that he can have a happy, healthy relationship. His ex-girlfriend should be charged & jailed for date rape. If not caught, she may continue this sick, demonic behavior on other innocent men!

Karamo, this has to be one of your best episodes. Not only for your guests expressing themselves so vulnerably but the way you helped through this miscommunication they were having. It shows that what you're doing is so important. Please keep these type of episodes coming!

He’s dealing with a lot of Trauma; I hope he finds peace

He seems like a good soul just with alot of trauma. I hope it works out if not hopefully they both find someone.

She’s vulnerable but he got to drop his pride that comes from being hurt. He has to learn vulnerability in this

He light candles nightly for her to bathe and NO INTAMACY! What am I missing here? I pray for this fella. He need more Counseling and of course CHRIST for his healing.

In the beginning of this segment, I was angry at how the girl friend came out and spoke to the brutha on national TV. It was emasculating. However, I was delighted to see her calm down and listen. Especially when he talked about being date raped and having to fight for custody of his daughter. They both truly listed and took responsibility for their roles in the lack of intimacy in their relationship. By the end of that segment I was in tears. We never know what traumas people have faced in their lives and why they act the way they do. If you are lucky enough to find a great partner, fight for them. Karamo did a great job of mediating that segment and putting both of them on a path to healing individually and as a couple. I've never seen his show before, but I will definitely be watching.

This is good (currently watching. Will update). Her suggestion of him being “controlling” when she walks out and talks to him the way she does, Iont see it…. No sex for a year 🧐 his controlling is manifested in manipulation. :::Update::: oh so they came to make me cry 😢. One thing she said that society needs to invest in 🗣️ Men Need Safe Havens too. We need safe spaces. Existing in the reality of being a Black Man, we’ve been taught so many wrong things about love. We’ve been conditioned to hold back In relationships because it’s weak. Resulting in broken families, relationships. Opening up the floor for safe spaces can reshape the consciousness of your person. Be that and there for each other. This was a good conversation.

Just when I thought I'd make it through an episode without crying, the girlfriend gives the "I love you" speech.

He needs to bring charges against her. What his daughters mother did is not ok! On another note, he shouldn’t even be dating before he receives the proper care for himself. But who am I?

My first time on this channel - and I found it very beautiful how the couple were supported to communicate and address the issues affecting their relationship. This was amazing and made be tearful.

He needs himself a good man and he will be happy..... 💯 She needs to heal and wait on her Boaz because she seems like a good person

While he does seem to have controlling and invasive behavior, it obviously stems from his parents, rape and robbery. He’s so scared. I think with her being more gentle and him being more accepting I think they’ll be just fine 💛

Sorry this man had such an evil act done on him. I can see the love between them, I just hope they both can get separate counselling, to strengthen themselves in order to gain the relationship they both can give to one another. ❤

I love what the host said at the end about him not showing up. He has a lot of work to do he has walls up

She is so beautiful I wish this woman nothing but the best

He’s constantly on high guard with his antennas up because of his traumatic experiences. I hope that he gets all the help that he needs so that he can be free from his past and live a healthy and full filled life. Wishes them both the best.

My God, I don’t think he’s ready 😢 this is such a sad situation. And I think they are both tremendous people. I hope Karamo is right that he made a major first step… but that girl deserves the peace too. Wish them both the best, whatever that looks like

He reminds me of my bf He was traumatized from his previous relationship that he was cheated on And never be healed. He never trusted me as same reason “flirtatious” whatever shit And he decided to cheat on me because he thought I was cheating on him so he said he wanted to cheat on me “first” so when he found out he won’t be hurt that much. Literally I wasted my whole year and half being loyal and loving him unconditionally. It just so selfish He was the one who got traumatized and now I got cheated on So fucked up

This is so sad.. I hate to see people get in relationships & aren’t emotionally available.. he’s gonna hurt her

There’s a huge difference between expressing being uncomfortable and telling someone they can’t leave the house 😒

The sad part is he has a great woman on his side and he is going to lose her because he is too damaged and needs real help

He needs a proper healing this man. He is so sweet! I hope they find peace and love.

This man gain my respect 🙏 I hope you overcome all the hurdles and life a good life and find your own way of happiness. This woman also is precious the way she is understanding and trying to be supportive makes her even more precious. Hope your relationship last forever.

Omg so now he’s raising the baby that was made from the rape 😮 & he has primary custody. I couldn’t imagine what that man is going through daily. He needs some counseling to continue

OMG...I am sitting here in tears. This is such a BEAUTIFUL Couple. May God and Christ help them to get through the rough times. I LOVE them both so much. If they work as a team, they will be unstoppable. Karamo's advice was so on point. I adore this man.

He seems like there is so much genuineness inside of him but he needs help so he can heal and she is a keeper man ❤

It happens a lot more than you think. I know someone very close to me that is a man, that got raped like that. But he was at a friends house and his friends watched the girl put something in his drink and then the whole thing happened and then watched him pass out and stay on the floor the whole night. Then tell him what happened in the morning. He was so broken for a while. I felt so bad for him. And his girlfriend at the time didn’t know how to take it. She felt bad but didn’t fully understand. But they stayed together and got married. Had a baby and everything. I’m glad it didn’t keep him down. His brother punched one of the guys that watched

There is a clear imbalance in energy between these two.

I got emotional watching this video. There’s pain, and I appreciate the honesty so we can relate to one another. We need healing and this was it.

This is one of the saddest and sweetest vidoes i've seen, i hope they can both heal, and hopefully together

Young man, you are much stronger than you believe or even give yourself credit for. It's ok to accept that you may or may not have made the correct choices in life. The key is squaring your shoulders back , lifting your head of high, come face to face with your pain, allow the pain to do what it does and then move forward... Assess, listen and evaluate will always be the key factors in making the choices that are right for you. It's very plain and simple!!!!!!

He needs to be single, he can't give her his authentic self because he don't know who he is...she's just a housekeeper and a babysitter. No sex tells me that there may be some other issues going on as well. She needs to leave this relationship, she's lost herself in him and his child. Leave this relationship sis....he's not it.

We definitely need a follow-up for this couple's story

This started out heart wrenching, yet ended up beautiful. They're friends before lovers ❤❤.

Once the defenses come down, what they expressed to eachother was beautiful. I feel that this is the FIRST time that they were able to HEAR eachother and SEE eachother. He needs healing. He MUST do the work.

No lie, I was immediately irked when she stormed out there in an emotional fit with the loud talking. While it was uncalled for, I can also see she’s a flame. She’s passionate and he’s more relaxed. They just need to find a way to make their differences work for them. I wish them both the best.

This episode broke my heart for both of them. They both have trust issues, and they both have been hurt and disappointed, it just manifests in different ways. In Marilyn, it's hyper-defensive, loud talking, and for Isiah, he builds a wall and retreats. I hope they can stay together & he gets the help and support he needs, because I think she really loves him.

OMGOD the got me crying in my house right now. The pain that man has been carrying on his shoulders and inside for one. It takes ALOT of strength to honestly open up to the world and say what happend to him plus to the woman he wants to love. I commend his lady also for letting him know the GEM OF A MAN she has. I pray for them BOTH to make it. Seek counseling together hold onto GOD and each other and you WILL MAKE IT. Great episode to watch because this type of trauma really does happen but is never spoken of OUTLOUD.

When she came out, she seems really aggressive. He seems like he’s going through a lot. My son hasn’t seen his daughter in 3 years and his son he hasn’t met. The mother stopped letting him see and talk to his daughter on the phone. She didn’t disclose to him that she was in labor with their son and we don’t even know what hospital he was born at. I haven’t seen my granddaughter in the same amount of time and I also haven’t met my grandson. 😢😢😢

Very moving story. I applaud this young man for fighting for his daughter and working towards addressing his real traumas. I wish them a happy relationship, moving forward.

He’s trying so hard to not be a bad man that he can’t see, he is a good man. She knows it! They will have a beautiful relationship with therapy.

The sweetest couple ever! They have to help each other overcome their hurts, especially she has to help him more just accept him the way he is, he is emotionally broken ❤

That was a truly authentic relationship. Both in their pain bodies but the love is there. I really want them to fin themselves which will then help them to see each other. Amen

It’s so sad how the past can stay present sometimes. Wishing him peace and happiness.

I'm crying because this young man is so traumatized, I pray they can make it, she is so stressed out as well, you can tell by the bags under her eyes. I'm praying for both of them.

I See The Pain In Your Eyes, " GOD" Will Wipe Away All Tears. Praise Him 🙏

Great advice Karamo!!!!❤❤❤💯. They’re are both sweet traumatized people who want to be loved. Praying for them

This episode touch my heart to the core!! They better work it out, and stay together.

Being controlling is a result of trauma and lack of coping skills and emotional maturity. All things that can push ppl away. Even if they love you deeply.

This is a deep session. A lot of healing is taking place here. I wish them all the best.

Experiencing sexual assault is a profoundly traumatic event that can have a wide range of emotional, psychological, and physical effects on a person. It's important to understand that individual responses to trauma can vary greatly, and there is no single "normal" or predictable reaction. With that in mind, here are a few reasons why a man might not want to engage in sexual activity with any woman after being raped: 1. **Emotional Impact:** Sexual assault can cause intense feelings of shame, guilt, fear, and confusion. These emotions can significantly affect a person's perception of themselves and their relationships, including their approach to sexual intimacy. 2. **Triggering Memories:** Engaging in sexual activity might trigger distressing memories or flashbacks related to the traumatic event. This can create a strong aversion to situations that remind the survivor of their assault. 3. **Loss of Trust:** Survivors of sexual assault can experience a loss of trust in others, including potential sexual partners. The betrayal of consent during the assault can lead to difficulties in establishing trust in future intimate relationships. 4. **Physical Discomfort:** The trauma of sexual assault can lead to physical discomfort or pain during sexual activity. This can make the idea of engaging in such activities undesirable or even distressing. 5. **Mental Health Impact:** Sexual assault can contribute to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). These conditions can affect a person's overall well-being and interest in sexual activity. 6. **Reclaiming Control:** Some survivors might feel a need to regain a sense of control over their own bodies and lives. For some, this might mean refraining from sexual activity until they feel ready and in control again. 7. **Gender Dynamics:** If the assailant was of a specific gender, the survivor might experience difficulty or discomfort engaging in sexual activity with individuals of that gender, potentially leading to avoidance of all sexual activity. It's important to approach discussions around this topic with empathy and understanding. The effects of trauma are complex and unique to each individual. If someone is struggling with their sexual experiences after trauma, seeking support from mental health professionals, counselors, or support groups can be incredibly beneficial in helping them navigate their healing journey.

I burst into tears! I feel secondhand grateful that you opened up this kind of safe space for those two. I hope he gets the help and peace he deserves, I wish the best for that baby girl, I hope the girlfriend gets loved on the way she deserves too!

Wow her expressing what he does for her touched my heart..he seems like a wonderful man and I pray that he gets help for his trauma..💯☮️

Karamo is 💯% correct in everything he said.

Karamo is the realist Talk Show host I ever seen. And he has GREAT ADVICE. Matter of fact calling him a Talk show host is out of line. He is Way More than that. Keep up the Great work!!😊

I hope the mother of his daughter did or does time for what she did that's just sad and wrong!

They look more like friends than lovers to me. But that just me and I hope they heal and stay together as long as they can.

Karamo is the best💪🏾 This brother is always on point...

Woooow… this was a tear jerker. I hope they get through this.

There’s more to his story. I feel that in my spirit.

Her Words from her heart..touched my heart n brought tears to me 😢

They deserve each other. I hope they truly find healing and overcome that wall.

Saying that you don't believe she's flirting, is definitely your opinion . The boy friend was there to see what his girlfriend was saying & doing . Now, there's a possibility that she is just being friendly, but sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference between being very friendly & flirting when you know someone is very friendly, flirty & sneaky . People act & pretend well .

My heart breaks for this young couple. He is a very sensitive young man. They both seem like they treat each other with respect and love each other. She is so compassionate and understanding. May God be with them and they make it together. They compliment each other. Blessings.❤

He needs counselling for his healing. Hopefully, they can grow through their journey together. Wishing them greatness in thier relationship...❤

Just because they aren't intimate does not make him gay. There are people who take their faith seriously. His mannerisms seem feminine. The fact that he has never told her he loves her & they have been together a year. She is raising his child & making it a home. I think that is why he keeps her around. When he finally said "I love you " he wouldn't even look at her.

I love karamo soo much every episode be so genuine and he actually helps the people on his show get the help they need whether they are right or wrong in a situation I hope this couple grows stronger as one with it ❤

I know he been thru a horrific experience in his life but him not opening up to her is gonna push her away

He needs to heal first before he can establish a relationship for himself. He isn't ready for that type of responsibility.

I hope that this man finds the peace that he so desperately needs. He has been thru so much. I too am a victim of abuse. I hope both of these individuals come too a place where they both trust each other and be the best parents too this mans daughter

I can’t imagine the pain he’s been through nor what she’s endured a lot. Both are hurt and need healing. I believe they can heal together.

He need her there to help him take care of his child. He doesn’t trust her to leave the house with his daughter. They’ve been together for a year and this is how he sees her very sad. I highly doubt he loves her. He’s finding reasons to argue so that he doesn’t have to be intimate with her. The counselor gave some good advice. She need to find a masculine man.

The poor guy is still healing from what his girlfriend is saying

The WAY she came out tells me everything! If she's doing that at home, THAT is why he continually walled off. Soon as he walked out, i could tell he was hurt, broken & needs a hug, not hostility but patience. Karamo gives half- true advice & advocating a break-up. He asked why he doesn't open up more... duhhh the answer is evident. Yes, he needs to be healed- both do, but patience, love, support & kindness is needed apparently more in his direction bc of his state of being and if she cant or is unwilling to help him through & use discernment & intuition, then maybe she should move on, but he needs no more damage.

I’m confused as beautiful as it is; how is he so comfortable to tell the world and not her. Millions will see and re watch this and he couldn’t tell her😢

He's so traumatized by what happened to him it's breaking my heart. I wish both of them well and hope he can start communicating with her instead of shutting down.

He s the sweetest Man. He deserve the best and he needs to heal. Woman u need to be there for him.. he got so much love and also the woman got much love. Love each other and God Bless u

Wonderful advice. I really think it would help their relationship if they would put some more love and trust in their lives.❤

That girl has love for that man because a year of no intimacy is a deal breaker on every level. She has every right and reason to cheat and she hasn't. I'll say it again, she has love for that man

I pray they get counseling so they can work through and be the couple that they desire.

I hope they both get the help they need. I can tell that’s he’s just so numb to physical and emotional connection from his trauma based on the way he hugged her and his expressions. I am rooting for them to stay together and continue to flourish as a family.

Wow, this was so deep, I actually shed a tear. Feel for this guy and his trauma, and also for his girlfriend. Hope they work it out❤️🙏🏼❤️

Just tuned in, but he reminds me of a dog that has been abused and is just there shaking. He really needs therapy and healing. My heart really felt his brokenness.
