142. What is the difference between settling vs. compromising? Marriage requires personal sacrifice... but what does that mean? (Guest: Cameo King + MAFS commentary)

Lets all welcome my friend, Cameo King back to the show, you can find her here.

Jump off discussion is about "MAFS" up to episode 8. Points were made & topics were talked about;

3:11 Overall thoughts on Dominique and Mackinley for Cameo. Was Mackinley's response about never dating a Black woman a red flag? Will race play into their issues?
9:58 How I've switched from Dominique's side to now feeling sorry for Mackinley. Who is Cameo rooting for and why? Is there gaslighting going on?
13:45 Is Dominique over judging Mackinley's living situation? We assume her fear is that he is a moving target and not serious about marriage... are we correct?
16:26 If you were entering this MAFS situation do you 'slow burn' (treating it as a dating situation) or 'hard launch' (already treating it as a marriage)?
21:30 Is there a difference in his love for you if he WANTS to 'take out the trash' vs. him doing it just because you want him to? Is that part of the love languages?
24:31 How Dominique's actions are very childish and predictions.
27:48 Shaq & Kirsten is actually Cameo's favorite couple but why?
32:26 Is she crazy due to no pictures in her house? Is she really minimalist for real?
37:20 What is the difference between settling vs. compromising? Marriage requires personal sacrifice... but what does that mean?
47:33 How us believing men 'should just know' is at our detriment. We need to get better at emotionally expressing ourselves.
51:52 Predictions on Shaq & Kirsten.
53:25 Airris and Jasmine. The awkwardness & the drama. How Jasmine's attraction to Airris is blinding her.
56:22 Is Pastor Cal right, that Airris is feeling the pressure of having to have all the feelings for Jasmine because they are already married? Can he turn that around as time goes on?
01:00:00 Is Airris' cousin stepping over the line? Especially how she is treating Jasmine?
01:04:41 When we really like a guy and we are holding out hope, what is the limit? How long do we hold out hope?
1:07:14 Walking in uncertainty and being uncomfortable, as a phase, is that what we are to expect in a relationship?
1:15:00 Why I lean into the slow burn space. Why I hate words from men, especially in the beginning. (let's be clear I do want it later).
1:16:04 Our predictions on Airris and Jasmine. Will they stay married?

Statistic; "Married At First Sight" Has Matched 59 Couples So Far — 15 couples are living happily ever after since the cameras stopped rolling. That's 25.4% of staying married. LESS than finding someone to marry on your own. (source)
