Ethic

by Ashley Antoinette

“A man takes care of his woman. If this is about a woman, then a man would be at her side.

After meeting a man like my fiance, I wholeheartedly stand behind this. A man takes care of a woman he truly loves, if he doesn’t then he don’t love you. Period.

Black boys were more than hustlers, ball players, and rappers.

My next few reads I want to see black men in occupations outside of these 3 things bc they are SO MUCH MORE than this…

His height, his sturdiness, behind her was what she needed. It was what every woman needed… a man to carry the weight when it got too heavy. Too many black queens were forced to play the role of king because of the absence of the men in their lives.

Hate to admit this, but this is true too. I grew up in a single mother household so I watched the woman be both king and queen. As I became an adult, I carried that with me and it wasn’t until I met my fiance that I realized that carrying both titles is exhausting. It’s SO refreshing having him be the King in our household. He treats me like a Queen. We support each other. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

A woman couldn’t change a man. He had to change himself. For the right woman, he would.

Big facts! I’ve seen many men do this, and if he don’t do this, then he don’t love you enough. Sorry.

without a woman was half of a man, emotionally stunted, and overcompensating in every area of his life to make up for what he lacked in companionship. A king could not reign without a queen to keep him strong. If man was the walls of a house, holding everything up, bearing the weight of all that inhabited it, his woman was the foundation. You could tear down walls, but a foundation was rock solid.

Men and women need each other. There’s a power that comes from our unions. Men always ask what do women bring to the table? THIS! Bc many lack emotional intelligence, women literally come in and level them up.

She had let him into her head, let him between her legs, let him tie his soul to hers, only to find out he was the Grim Reaper in human form. She felt like a fool.

We’ve all been there, sis! 😫

Was Ethic wrong for allowing Alani to fall in love with him?

Yes, it was downright manipulation to me.

Is Messiah disloyal for disobeying Ethic's order to stay away from Morgan?

No, but he’s also selfish for coming in and messing up Morgan’s life

Does love conquer all or are Alani and Ethic doomed?

Idk how she can love him after this revelation…

Is Ethic a good or bad man?

Both.
