Stay with it. Hey, so where we going?

I was out drinking too much.

So, where were you? I mean, who were you with?

Why did you stay out all night?

I don't see nothing I like.

We have Mary's buttermilk chicken.

It's really good.

Why you think he like chicken?

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

So, Vince and I are off to Chicago to speak at an event.

I guess people see us as a good role model for relationships.

I mean, I'm pretty excited about it

because this could really be a big deal for me.

Open up a whole new career,

make me some good crazy money on the side, besides the music.

When you think we're gonna move into our new house?

We got to be out there by the 4th.

Remember I just told you that, babe? What?

- Yeah. - No, unh-unh.

Yeah, I just told you that, babe.

The 4th? The 4th of what?

Next month.

Vincent's been looking at new houses

for months behind my back.

Like, I ain't even know he wanted to move.

But he found a place that's big enough for us,

and it has a lot of room for all my babies.

And my babies-- I mean, my shoes.

I don't need no real babies right now

because shoes don't even cry.

It takes six weeks to make window treatments,

and that's on a rush job.

Baby, we gotta do what we gotta do.

Vince is outta his mind.

Moving takes a lot of planning,

and I'm on my way to the airport.

I just thought we had more time for this.

Okay, I'm about to have an anxiety attack.

I mean, how-- we need a bed. I don't know what you're gonna do.

Tamar, I already ordered us a bed. What?!

Yeah. Vince, you are not decorating that house.

Get your life together and in order.

Put it in a box with a ribbon on it.

You are not gonna be decorating the house by yourself this time.

I'm not saying I was decorating the house. No, no, no.

Why don't you relax, man? Just thank God.

You don't thank God enough.

You don't have to decorate nothing.

- Move your hand. - Nope.

Move your hand. No, I ain't been decorating nothing.

So what you mean you have a bed? You ordered a bed?

Babe, I'm only playing with you. I wouldn't do that, baby.

Chill out, baby. Please stop.

Vincent Herbert, you know you wrong right now.

- Can you just give me a kiss? - No and no.

You ain't got nothing on your lips.

It would be nice to get a kiss. Okay.

Now, how Vince gonna try to ask me for a kiss

right after he dropped this bomb on me?

Don't joke about decorating.

I love him for right now, but he is in the doghouse--

an undecorated doghouse, at that.

Do I have your permission to take full control

on this household situation? - Nope, you can't.

You do not. It's called teamwork.

Vince, I'm not gonna have time.

You know, it'd be different if I had time to,

"Oh, do you like this swatch? You like this swatch?" Tamar, you don't have time.

You know why? 'Cause you're so busy.

You got all this stuff you gotta do.

You're recording a record, you're doing a show.

You got so much going on, you don't have time.

- Don't tap the fat. - Okay?

You don't have time. - Don't tap the fat.

You don't have-- I'm not tapping nothing.

You don't have time. - Don't tap the fat.

You don't have the time. It's okay.

It's all good. - Don't jiggle my wiggle.

It's all good.

I know I want the bar.

I love hanging out with the band after rehearsal.

And besides, I really don't want to go home right now.

I don't want to have to deal with Gabe,

and I still feel bad that I told Towanda

that it was time for her to move out of the house,

and I really don't want to have to deal with that right now.

I want a cotton-candy martini.

- Yeah. - I want lots of vodka in it.

I'mma taste it.

All right, everybody.

Everybody, get your shots.

Oh, all right. Here we go.

Salud.

I know that Gabe gets jealous when I spend time with the band,

but that's just too bad,

because I have projects that I need to take care of,

we have gigs that we need to talk about,

and he just works on my nerves, anyway.

I would like to have a showcase within the next month.

Is that doable? - We can do that.

We just gotta map out exactly what--

what we need to do. - I'll sing the songs.

- Right. - There you go.

That sounds good to me.

Right now, I am planning a showcase with my band

so that we can show producers how hot my band really is.

And so I'm spending a lot of time planning

and getting that together,

because I'm going full speed on my solo career.

And right now, that's my first priority.

All right, guys, we got one more shot going on.

After this, I can not have any more shots.

Push in.

- Cheers. - Cheers!

- Salud. - And salud.

Oh, it just stays there. It ain't going nowhere.

Men talk to you, they're like, "Oh, yeah, how you doing?

Yeah, yeah."

I was like this, "Yeah, Jamal, yeah."

I ain't complaining.

I would look at your twig and berries all day long.

- That's messed up. - Just one more.

Oh, golly jeepers.

And that's it.

Whatever.

Definitely the hottest thing out there.

Oh, oh! Stay with it. Stay with it.

What happened!

Come on.

Shh!

You know what I'm thinking about right now?

Having this peach drink.

Did you remember we did that show--

When was it? Do you remember that?

Before we went on the stage, my sisters was like,

"You don't need to be a part of this band.

You are better than this band." - I was on that gig.

"You don't need to be like that," and it just

F'ed me up all night long. - I remember that.

My sisters think that my band is not "up to snuff"

just because we're a cover band.

And it just bothers me that they never want to come

and see my shows or come and see what I'm doing.

It hurts my feelings.

I thought that we was gonna walk in here and see you,

you know, doing-- you know, doing singing

and bustin' it and singing your vocals.

But don't take offense.

I do take offense 'cause y'all don't support nothing I do.

- No. - Know what?

I am not playing the attack-dot-com game.

I'm not doing it. No, I'm really not.

I'm really not. Thank you all for coming out.

God bless you, good night.

I don't have nothing left to say 'cause that's not even cool.

Why you going off?

I think you all should go, actually.

Ooh, ooh. Okay. That's my cue.

Guys, I just want to say thank you, guys, for supporting me,

and I love you guys so much.

We're gonna toast, huh?

One month before a showcase, so we gotta do it, all right?

- Let's do it. - Toast.

Salud.

Hey, so where we going? Do you want to go to that party?

I'll go for a minute or two, and then I have to go home.

I am having so much fun with the band right now.

But I am responsible, so I have to go home and deal

with this Gabe-orization going on.

You know what?

We could say it, but I won't say it right now.

- What? Say it. - No more drinks, Tri.

Did I tell you you look great? Mm.

I think I told you that a hundred times, huh?

You know, between me staying at my sisters' houses

and saving my money,

I was able to scrape up my money,

put it together for a down payment for my fabulous house.

And Andre called and I know why he called.

He's trying to be slick.

He's calling because he thinks he's gonna move in with me.

Maybe I can get a bench and dedicate it to you.

And then I can sit on you all day.

Oh, Lord, why would you want to sit on me?

'Cause you don't sit on me. Ugh.

I'm not gonna lie--

I haven't had sex with Towanda in a long time.

I mean, I almost forgot what it feels like.

You know, my question is, if I do move back in,

I mean, are we gonna start making love on a regular basis?

On a regular basis?

I mean, seriously, do you not want to make love to me anymore?

Is that just done? I mean, seriously.

Is that just done?

Mm-mm-mm.

I don't know.

I'm a man, Towanda-- I have needs.

I have needs, too. I'm a woman.

We have needs, too. You know what I mean?

That's why I'm asking you,

'cause I know you're fulfilling your needs

with these devices that you're buying.

"Devices" I'm buying?

You know, he's really trying to be charming and cute,

but we all know he needs counseling, okay?

So what I'm saying is, if you still don't

have anything for me, I need to let you go.

That's one of my 69 points.

I mean, I definitely want Towanda back,

but I can't make her want me back.

Either she wants this relationship or she doesn't.

It's just that simple.

So, if somebody's out there that you feel can give you more than

I can give you, then, you know, good riddance.

- "Good riddance"? - Good riddance.

Okay. Maybe that's a bad word.

I'm just tired of not being able to touch you, hold you,

hold your hand, squeeze you, kiss you, make love.

You know, it's-- it's not a good feeling.

It's a very, very cold feeling. I agree, it is.

You know, I have to be honest--

I'm not completely ruling out not getting back with Andre,

you know, but what I really want from him is,

I want him to let me know that he really loves me

and he really needs me.

One of the main things that I talked to you

about was counseling,

and then you have yet to do that.

I called Dr. Sherry, and we're supposed to have

a meeting with her husband.

I don't know. She didn't call me back.

So, because she didn't call you back, you stopped there?

Okay. What am I supposed to do, go knock on the girl's door?

You could've said, "Well, you know what, Towanda?

I tried to call Dr. Sherry, and she was not available.

She did not call me back." But you know what?

Taking the initiative to say, "She's not available.

I'm gonna research and find someone else."

I don't know what type of counseling

I'm supposed to talk--

Crisis counselor, a marriage counselor, a family counselor?

Andre, you are a very smart man. You already know.

Okay. I would think a marriage counselor. Exactly.

Why wouldn't it be a marriage counselor?

Well, first of all, they're gonna charge fees.

I can't afford to pay that. - Oh, my God.

He just doesn't get it. He really doesn't get it.

He doesn't get that I just need for him

to follow through on something.

Just follow through. That's it.

Okay, last question, 'cause I know

this conversation is pretty much done.

Do you still want me to live with you, take care of the kids

while I'm in your house, so to speak?

I think you should live with your grandmother.

Okay. So that means no. Thank you very much.

I mean, really.

I know you don't really give two rats' ass about me,

but is it really that serious?

I can't believe Towanda

is willing to throw away our marriage

and possibly throw my ass out on the street.

I'm in somewhat of a serious crisis right now, you know?

My marriage is stale.

I just don't know what to do right now.

I don't. I just-- I'm just confused.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

I was out drinking too much.

So, where were you? I mean, who were you with?

Why did you stay out all night?

What did I get myself involved with? My life.

And I need to get out of it, boom. What?

I chose not to drink and drive, so I decided to stay at a hotel.

I went shopping this morning in the hopes that,

by the time I get home, Gabe won't be there.

I see you made it back home.

Ugh! Why can't Gabe ever be out of the house?

He is always there, waiting on me, ready to attack.

What happened? Ugh.

I was out drinking too much.

So, where were you? I mean, who were you with?

Why did you stay out all night? Like, who were you with?

Rehearsal yesterday,

and it turned into another session with me,

and then we decided we're gonna get something to eat.

So when we got something to eat,

we got something to drink, as well.

I had two margaritas, and it was-- it was a lot.

So I was like, "Okay. I-I need to get a hotel room."

So I got one nearby the studio.

I did not want to have another DUI.

- Hmm. - So...

I just wish there was some other way for you to cope

with our issues rather than drinking.

I really think Trina is using her work

and the band as a way to avoid the problems

that we're having in our marriage right now.

I know you think the band is like family to you.

To me, they're still men. They aren't your family.

We're your family.

It wasn't just men there.

Women and men.

Well, I don't know what y'all do, to be honest with you.

Y'all go out, y'all have drinks sometimes,

y'all go to each other's hotel rooms.

I don't know.

While it's true that, yes,

I had a little transgression in my marriage,

I feel like, no matter what I do,

Gabe is still gonna be the guiltier the party.

And I just want my own life back.

We shouldn't give up on each other.

We should keep on trying to make our marriage work,

'cause that's-- that's what marriage is about--

trying to make it work. So...

It's about cheating and staying. No, it's not about cheating.

You cheated, I stay. And I drink.

But we should come to a point where we're able

to forgive each other... - Oh.

...and wipe the slate clean and say, "Okay.

"You know what?

We both did stuff that we shouldn't have done."

But how many times is that supposed to happen, though?

Well, the first time, we never really wiped it clean.

I think we need to discuss it with Dr. Sherry,

and, you know, have a talk with her.

I just feel like this marriage is on life support.

I'm all for talking to Dr. Sherry

and going to counseling, but at this point,

I don't know how much more she can help.

Okay.

Do you know what side you want to sit on?

Doesn't matter.

After a long plane ride, we finally made it to Chicago.

And now we are hungry.

You okay? You seem a little "perturred."

"Pertubed." Upset.

Just part of my life.

Like, what you mean?

I'm not even feel like talking too much tonight.

Are you mad at me, Vincent?

Don't sometimes I get on your nerves? To the max.

Okay. Well, sometimes you get on mine.

You act like you don't. Sometimes you do.

It's what a relationship does.

But we have to learn how to get off each other's nerves.

Can't stay on each other's nerves.

You can't just stay right there on the nerve, like,

"Daaaah.

Dah dah dah daaaah."

That hurts. - Why you snippity snappity?

Because you just been snapping it all day with me.

So if I don't snap back. She has not been snapping at you.

I don't know if she is, and if I'm here

with some "she"-- - Is "she" her?

If she mean her, I'm gonna leave,

'cause I don't date she mean hers.

What do you mean dating me?

- Whatever. - Boom!

Stop.

Like, really?

Vince is getting on my last damn nerves with his attitude.

He acts like he doesn't even appreciate me.

Like I just annoy him all the time.

I mean, I been the same damn person since we got together,

so why is he tripping?

Are we all set to order the entrées here?

I don't see nothing I like.

We have Mary's buttermilk chicken.

It's really good.

Why you think he like chicken?

Everyone likes chicken.

Is it fried or...

It's sous-vide style, which means "under vacuum" in French,

so they take the white meat and the dark meat,

vacuum it together, and cook it to temperature

with the Mary's buttermilk batter on the outside.

Wow.

What you mean like white meat and dark meat mixed?

What you mean?

It comes in, like a cylindrical form,

and they cook it underwater.

So it look like a hot dog.

Yeah.

She's just doing a little bit, too-- hee, hee!

"And then we take the white meat and the dark meat,

and we mash it together."

I thought I was gonna punch her in her throat.

Don't play with me

when it comes to Vincent the Herbert, okay?

- It's great. - Thinking about it.

- You are? - Yeah.

You want some dark meat and white meat chicken?

Yeah, gonna try it.

- Okay. - Okay.

Yeah, of course.

Did she just wink at you?

Let me tell you something right now. Tamar, I gotta go.

Tamar does not play.

I don't give a hot, fiery, crackling...

You are out of control.

...of a pork skin what you talking about across that table.

I know what I know.

Nobody sticks around for eight years for nothing.

Don't be winkin' at my man in my face, boo.

Tamar.

Soon as she walked up, I peeked her aura.

You know what that meant?

"I'm finna steal your man" aura.

I wasn't having that.

You really need prayer, man.

What did I get myself involved with? My life.

And I need to get out of it, boom.

What? Vince, don't play with me.

You do too much. I'm just thinking about--

You want to play with this puppy?

You want to play with this puppy?

Tamar, I will throw this water in your face so fast.

You wanna do it? What? What?

Boo, I will take off my Jimmy Choos and whack you.

Like, don't do it. Like, really?

You really gonna play with this puppy?

Do you know what happens when you play with this puppy?

You get licked in the mouth. Don't do it. Okay.

I'm getting ready to go. - You can go.

I've been gone.

I'm just sitting here, happy to be looking at my water.

And you just happen to be across the table from me.

Do you want that chicken in front of you?

Oh, you can put the chicken on that side.

Okay.

Anything else I can get for you? Nope.

Let's taste the segregated chicken.

You like the zebra chicken?

Chicken is okay. It's nice and-- Exactly.

You know what's good?

Me. - Oh, God.

I'm the chicken breast you looking for.

Okay? See how that all cracked up?

That's so nasty.

It look like a bunch of cow balls.

Fried-up cow balls.

I'm still pretty, and I am sweet, delicious.

I'm glad you feel that strongly about yourself.

What's your lesson?

Wow. We gonna pray for you.

I'm gonna go home and act like you'll apologize.

Hurt my feelings this evening. - You're out of your mind.

Hanging on to your french fries?

Oh, no, you can take it.

I'm not sorry Tamar, because that was nothing.

Tamar sometimes gets on my nerves

just like sometimes I get on Tamar's nerves.

It's called a relationship.

Excuse me. Are you married or dating?

Married, sir.

Your wife gets on your nerves sometimes?

- Every day. - What?

It's hard. Marriage is a beautiful thing.

Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. I'll bring you your check now.

Thank you.

I mean, I guess I deserve some of Vince's attitude,

even though I think he was a little harsher

than he should've been.

Don't play with this puppy.

Tamar, exactly. It's in you.

You're a puppy, and I'm a grown grizzly bear.

Okay?

You want to make it out the forest? Attack me.

You want to make it out the forest"?

No, I don't. I want--

I want-- I want to be attacked.

I want you to jump on my back while I'm not looking.

You used to date me.

You know what you used to say to me.

First of all, you used to beg me to come out.

Anything else I can get for you? Nope, that's it.

Take care of you whenever you're ready, okay?

Thank you very much.

Mm-hmm.

Did she just touch you?

Tamar...

I'll be paying with my credit card.

'Cause, see, the next thing I know, she done googled you,

and then I'mma have to snap that neck. Tamar.

Don't play with me.

- Stop, man. - What's she touching you for?

Like, "Don't be putting your hands on my man!"

Let me explain something to you.

After she done told you about her

black-and-white zebra'd up nasty chicken,

she puts her hand on your shoulder.

No, I don't do that. Unh-unh.

We paying cash.

You need help.

I am finally moving out of Trina and Gabe' house

into my own home.

Andre has decided to lend me a hand.

I'm not sure how I feel about him being here right now.

I'm still Towanda's husband.

I'm definitely gonna help her move.

And I also want my kids to feel secure.

- Hoo! - You getting tired?

We got like 10 more boxes, plus my stuff.

Your stuff isn't coming in here, Andre.

We agreed-- and this is what you said.

This was your suggestion.

That you were going to stay with your grandmother.

I mean, do you really just want to see somebody else?

No, it's not about anybody else.

There were just certain issues

that I feel that needs to be addressed.

Like job-- J-O-B.

- Counseling. - Okay.

It takes two, Towanda. I understand that.

It takes both of us to go to counseling.

I understand that, but like I said, you said

that you're trying to do it, but you're not doing it.

Can you help me, please, get all these boxes in here?

Yeah, I can do that. That's what I'm here for.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

I love you, anyway.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Ain't gonna ask me, "Why aren't you wearing your ring?"

Take it, pawn it, I don't want it.

The symbolism is gone.

I don't want it.

My situation with Gabe has disintegrated

in such a way that we need Dr. Sherry present

in order to have a civil conversation.

So we're gonna go to her office so that I can talk to Gabe

about some of the things that are on my mind.

Ooh, hello. Hi. How are you? Hi, Dr. Sherry.

Hello. How are you? Come on back.

This is a very painful process for me right now.

I feel like it's hard for us to make any--

any changes or any moves forward whenever she's so upset,

'cause I can't talk to her about anything.

So I just hope that us going to see Dr. Sherry's gonna really,

you know, help her have more of an open mind.

Yeah, get comfortable.

Tell me, where are we?

Who wants to start?

And don't both of you jump at one time.

Well, we all know that he's gonna look to me.

Boom, there it is-- looking to me.

You know what?

It sounds to me like our relationship is rather stagnant.

Yeah, I agree.

'Cause every time we come here, we have the same conversation.

How do you feel about that?

I don't like him.

Mm.

I'm waiting for the next moment to embarrass me.

Gabe, do you know why she may not like you?

That's a powerful comment.

Well, yeah, she doesn't like me because I've hurt her.

She doesn't trust me because she thinks I'm a cheater.

For all the BS that comes out of Gabe's mouth,

I gotta give him credit.

He gets that I'm upset that he's a cheater.

Unfortunately, I've learned the hard way--

once a cheater, always a cheater.

It's not like he cheated and he just super-duper

messed up and was like, "You know what?

I messed up." - Mm-hmm.

"But I'm gonna do everything that I can to make amends

and make my marriage work."

And Dr. Sherry, you know,

I called you about something recent

that happened in Gabe and I's relationship.

I caught Gabe red-handedly

acting inappropriately

on a social network site with a female that he knew.

There is no way in God's heaven he can deny it.

Due to that, I feel like we went back a good 25 steps.

That is why I'm not wearing my ring.

You know, I was gonna point that out.

He gonna ask me, "Why aren't you wearing your ring?"

Take it, pawn it, I don't want it.

- Oh, man. - The symbolism is gone.

Mm. When that ring was put on my finger,

what it symbolized no longer applies.

So I don't want it.

And I don't care how much it's worth.

Keep it. It means nothing to me.

Gabe, do you understand what that's about?

In the middle of the night, she had a gut feeling

that I was doing something that I shouldn't be doing.

So I gave her my phone.

And then snatched it from me.

And then, I was--

No, then I started thinking like, "Well, shoot.

I'm not checking your phone."

Well, was there anything on that phone

that you didn't want her to see?

There were text messages between me and...

well... - Other women.

Yes. Friends. She has guy friends.

She has all the guy friends in the band.

So she can have guy friends, but I can't have any women friends.

You know what? I was flirting.

Let's just say that.

I took the bait and I shouldn't have.

So you're talking about the things that you didn't do.

Did you do what a married man should have done?

No.

You know, it's one thing of getting hurt,

but to continue to hurt the person

you're saying you're loving, how do you expect her to respond?

I don't know how to respond. It's hurtful. It's painful.

And I feel like she's out having a good time,

and I'm unhappy at home. Then you should leave.

We're sitting here in counseling.

I'm trying to talk to her

and you're talking about leaving.

- But do you want to stay? - Yes.

Uh, it's actually really tough to deal with Trina

being so angry and upset at me.

It's kind of like I can't even say anything,

I can't even do anything.

I can't even chew right or else she'll be barking at me,

so, I mean, it's very--

very difficult right now to deal with it.

I mean, I feel like we're back at square one.

I wonder why.

Yeah, I wonder why. Because it's all my fault.

It is!

What do you mean? - Okay.

You think people cheat because it's all their fault?

If you're looking for justification,

it's gonna be har--

it's gonna be very hard to get it here.

Yeah.

Gabe can try to say or do whatever he wants,

but I want out of this relationship,

and I want out now.

I'm done.

Tell Gabe what that means.

That means that I am finished.

I give up completely, and if you need to blame me,

if that is what you need, you go ahead.

- I'm not blaming you. - I'm sorry.

I'm not blaming you.

You go ahead and you can do that,

if that is what you need.

But I am done.

I don't want you, I do not want this marriage.

I am done.

If Gabe and I were to split up,

Gabe would have to be the person to move out.

There is no reason why I should have to move

and take my kids and interrupt their lives

and switch their schools.

If we split up, Gabe has to be the one to go.

But I'm not giving up on my family.

I'm not. - You already did.

- I'm not. - You already did.

Well-- We were in here months and months and months,

fighting about this, fighting about that,

fighting about making it work,

and, you know, changing and forgiveness,

and then you embarrass me again?

Who'd I embarrass her to?

What? It's a social network. Are you serious?

People can click on me at any time and laugh at me.

Everyone can see that I'm married to Gabe.

When he's on a social network,

flirting with all these other chicks behind my back,

that makes me look stupid, and I'm embarrassed.

I'm hearing you say you're done.

I have to respect that.

I hear Gabe saying, "I am not done with this."

Gabe, are you willing to do

the hard work in a relationship?

Trina, I'm gonna challenge you to do the same thing,

because what happens is, you will leave this relationship,

and unless you're good inside,

what's gonna happen is, you're gonna turn around,

and you're gonna find yourself in a relationship similar,

repeating the same things.

And if you choose, after you both have worked through

some things,

"I'm over it, and I am still done," that's okay.

How you choose to do it, in terms of the living space

is something you're gonna work out.

Maybe somebody needs to be downstairs,

somebody needs to be upstairs.

Wow. This is actually a lot more serious

than I anticipated it to be.

I feel like I have been given an ultimatum,

and I need to prove to Trina that she can trust me again

and that I can be faithful

and our marriage can actually work.

I just feel like Trina isn't gonna make it easy for me.

Yeah.

Thanks again, Dr. Sherry. - It's okay.

Thank you.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

I didn't wear my wedding ring today.

I told you-- again. You wasn't listening.

Y'all give it up for my girl, Miss Tamar Braxton

and her husband, Vince!

Hello, everybody.

I

I bet

I bet you

I bet you I

I bet you I put

I bet you I put on

I bet you I put on an

I bet you I put on an all-black

I bet you I put on an all-black outfit

and act like I wasn your waiter, later...

I bet you you're super-duper excited.

I don't need you to be my waiter later.

I need you to be my nice wife.

You don't want me to be a rotten, nasty,

dirty, lowdown...

...wife, you know, after 12:00.

I don't need that.

I can turn into a gremlin.

I don't want a gremlin.

That's what I want.

I'm thinking.

Rrr.

And that's what you want. - I don't want that from you.

- You just don't want to say it. - I don't want that from you.

- I'm gonna say it for you. - I don't want you to say it.

I want you to stop messing with your hair,

'cause you're messing it up. - Mnh-mnh.

Okay?

She looks like a model.

You sound real nuts.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Pleasure to have you. - Tamar.

Thank you. My pleasure to be here.

- Sir, it's a pleasure. - Thank you.

So, my husbanager told me we was speaking

at a relationship seminar,

so I put on this conservative, cute dress,

and he forgot to mention the venue.

So when I got there, I was surprised as hell,

because we at the club!

Excuse me? This is a speed-dating event.

That ain't hot. This ain't the big leagues.

This is small-time french fry.

She didn't sign up for no small-time stuff.

I didn't wear my wedding ring today.

I told you-- again. You wasn't listening.

'Cause you were so sleepy.

Y'all give it up for my girl,

Miss Tamar Braxton

and her husband, Vince!

Hello, everybody.

Well, you know, if anybody out here don't know who I am,

my name is Tamar Braxton.

This is my husband, Vincent Herbert.

And we've been married going on--

this year, going on three years.

You know, Vince and I, we have been together a long time,

just about eight years.

And it'll be three years married in November,

and we have really

kind of figured out real quick

on what works for us.

You know, I love my wife to death.

I put her first before anything.

And in the relationship, you got to be friends,

so I encourage all you guys tonight,

if you're looking for love,

make sure you find a friend in that love,

because that's how it lasts.

Without a foundation, there's not a relationship.

Without communication, without trust,

there's not a relationship.

But every day, I am blessed and honored

to be in love with this woman.

So am I. Oh, you so sweet.

'Cause this is the greatest woman in the world.

I just want to tell my ladies something,

if you're out on a date with a guy,

maybe the eighth date,

and he's trying to sleep with you, he's not the one.

Because it's not about that.

I am so sorry if I ruined y'all's game,

but, ladies, you got to have a game, too!

He put a ring on it, and I put the thing on it.

I'm just saying. So--

So I just want to let me ladies know that,

'cause, you know, just saying, it just worked for me.

You know, if anybody wants advice

on how to make your relationship work,

you know, what better couple to ask

than the couple who pretty much on blast all the time?

After our meeting with Dr. Sherry,

it's clearly time for me to take some action with Gabe

in our relationship.

We need to decide what we're gonna do

about our living arrangements

and where we're gonna go from here.

I mean, when Dr. Sherry was saying

that maybe we should give each other space,

even within the house... Yeah.

I was thinking that the one of us

that should move into another room is you.

Uh, why me?

'Cause I have more clothes than you do.

Mm. I don't know.

Moving into that room, that's where Towanda and Andre

and them were.

No telling what kind of spirits are up in there.

Gabe is reaching really hard

to try and find any excuse to not separate.

And I know it wasn't gonna be easy from the beginning,

but, y'all, it's just gotta happen.

All right.

The sun comes right through the window.

That's when you close the blinds.

I gave Gabe a "pass"

a few years ago.

But apparently, that wasn't good enough

because he went right back on his merry

little way, cheating again.

You know, I called my lawyer,

and I talked to him about a legal separation.

- Why? - I'm sorry?

Why?

It's because you cheated on me.

Yeah, but I didn't cheat on you.

I was communicating with...

Other women. ...other women...

In a sexual manner. Not in a sexual manner.

But then what was it?

In a manner that wasn't appropriate as a husband.

Gave, it was more than just that.

For real? For real?

Okay. Boy, do I look like Boo Boo the fool?

Gonna put on a clown face and a wig real quick?

No, no, but I-- Why you trying to treat me like

I'm dumb suddenly? - But you know what?

Ever since I've talked to you about that,

that's all you've assumed.

You've assumed that I'm-- - No, I didn't assume, Gabe.

I'm not a stupid person.

"Born yesterday" and "Trina"

don't belong in the same sentence. Okay.

I really don't want to move out of the bedroom.

That's the beginning of the end.

I think I was wrong, I think I was stupid,

I think I was dumb, I think I made a--

And nasty and common and dirty and lowdown

and a fake, a phony, and a fraud.

Doesn't really feel like I had a say in this at all.

I think I made a mistake.

I think I made multiple mistakes.

- Mm-hmm. - I think that I'm past that.

Now, we are in this situation where you made a choice...

You're right. ...to cheat on me, not once or twice

or three or four or five times.

It had nothing to do with you.

I listened to you, and I stayed.

- Mm-hmm. - Okay?

And then, boom-- you embarrass me again

by going on a social network

and having inappropriate conversations

with women yet again.

At what point, for me,

is enough supposed to be enough?

At what point am I supposed to be a lay-down Larry

and say, "Okay. Well, you know what?

"Go ahead and cheat on me again.

This time, put some stank on it"?

What do you want me to do?

Lately, I've been trying to do the right thing.

I made moves, changed my phone number,

closed down my Facebook, closed down my Twitter,

and I feel like I'm not getting any credit for it.

And I feel like it's kind of lopsided,

'cause she cheated, too.

I didn't make more of an effort not to do things

that I used to do, like go to the bars

and hanging out and putting myself into places

I shouldn't be.

You wouldn't have had to change your telephone number

had you not been doing it in the first place, Gabe.

You wouldn't have had to shut down your social network site

if you weren't doing things inappropriate

in the first place, Gabe.

I'm not going to bake you a bunch of cookies

for doing something that you should not have been doing

in the first place, Gabe.

- Wait, wait, wait. - Okay, I'll wait.

Just wait.

I want my family to stay together,

and I want us to stay married.

I think and I believe that I can be faithful

and that I can be the man and the husband

that you need me to be.

I know I can.

You need to give me the time

that I need to assess the situation.

When would you like me to move my stuff

out of your bedroom and into my new bedroom?

Tonight sounds good.

All right, there you go.

Tonight is not soon enough.

This has been a long time coming.

Coming up on "Braxton Family Values"...

Tamar, what are you doing?

Getting my stuff!

That ain't yours, 'cause Toni gave it to me.

Towanda, hold up. Why you got a attitude?

Put it back.

Feel like they getting beat up over here.

You getting ready to get beat.

Welcome to my home.

You have no idea how good it feels to have your own place.

I don't have to rely or depend on any of my sisters anymore.

I don't have to move in here and move in there.

No. I have my own.

Welcome. - Yes, it is.

It's so pretty!

Oh, my God.

Come on in!

Where you want to see first? - Whatever you want to show me.

Okay.

This is my bathroom and my big old closet. Wow, nice!

I am so proud of Towanda that she finally have

a house of her own.

It's a beautiful, beautiful house.

And this green patio.

Oh, you guys have a date room.

Oh!

We could put a hookah thing in here.

Oh, my God.

- How adorable is this? - You can put your--

Oh, wow, you can patio furniture.

And there's a regular deck right beside it.

- And you have another one. - And a backyard.

Wow! I'm just saying, how romantic is this room with no Andre?

No, it's not about romance. It's about me living.

I just think it's hot. Like, you know--

I'm putting a trampoline right over there for the kids.

It's very romantic to come out here and look at the stars.

I was thinking like, if, you know--

And go in the bedroom and make some.

No.

I am so tired of Tamar questioning me about Andre.

You know, if it was genuine,

I can understand, but she's just being plain old nosy.

This is my bathroom. - Ooh!

I have double sinks.

- That's great. - Organized.

Have to have Miss Jada come back over.

You guys have a his-and-her closet?

No, it's a her closet.

Is this his, too?

It's a her closet.

- It's his and hers. - It's a her closet!

It's his and hers.

Ain't nobody separated around here.

Everybody is together.

No, it's a her closet.

That's all of my stuff, my fabulous stuff.

And his.

Tamar, you really asking me why is Andre's stuff in the closet?

Really? Are you asking me that?

Because those are my kids' father. That's why.

And when I'm not home, he's here with the children.

That's why. We'll see what happens.

I don't even know what's going to happen.

Let's finish.

I think we need to go through these purses.

I see that's mine.

- What's yours? - That.

No, it's not, no, it's not.

So, I'm up in here, looking for some of Andre's stuff,

and I see one of my purses.

Towanda thinks she's slick as hen piss.

She was trying to keep me outta here,

and that's why she skipped all over

that closet stuff real quick.

It is not. You gonna tell me that ain't my purse?

It is, too, my purse.

- It is not! - Not today.

Come on. Let's go. - I'm on it.

You're always trying to steal people's moments.

Girl, that's between you and Towanda.

I'm finished with it. - Jeez.

This is gonna be-- Tamie?

What happened? Who did it?

What is she doing?

Tamar, what are you doing? What you mean?

What-- What are you doing? I'm getting my stuff!

That ain't yours, 'cause Toni gave it to me.

Towanda, hold up. Why you got a attitude?

This is mine! This is Yves Saint Laurent!

And put it back. Now you can put it back.

Y'all finished? Y'all ready? Quit talking to me like that.

About to get beat up around here!

You ready to get beat down.

What? What's wrong with you?

Come on, Tamie, let's finish looking at the house.

No, she has to put that back. Okay.

Go to two...

Let's go.

...because she's getting ready to go to 10,

and don't nobody want to hear that today. Let's go.

'Cause I don't feel like all that today.

Me neither. Come on.

Oh, God, we just came to see the house, for God sakes, guys.

Stop!

And they think I'm crazy. Thought I lost my stuff.

Is that my coat?

That's my coat!

This is my sitting area.

Wow. That's nice.

This is beautiful.

I was looking all over for this.

Towanda is a thief.

But this is my whole three-car garage.

- Whoa! - Umba!

Look at that.

That's mine.

This my favorite sweater!

I thought...

This is my...

Hey, Traci.

- ...coat closet. - Look at--

Let me look in there.

This is my coat closet.

Wow. Nice.

That's mine.

Mnh-mnh-mnh.

Towanda, baby, I love her to pieces.

But hide your stuff when she come over,

'cause she snatch the wig off your head

when you look the other way.

She's super sneaky, clever, and crafty.

- Oh, my God. - Come on, Tamar.

- All righty. - Get out.

Ma, take her. - I'm taking her, baby, I know.

Well, I got to go get my hair cut.

Come on, let's go.

I'm so glad I came over here today.

Isn't it beautiful? No, I ain't got to go shopping.

I visit my sister's, and I went shopping.

Hallelujah.

Ooh, I'm glad she gone.
