Wow! Yall working with Brian McKnight?! Whoo! Congrats! I gotta think about some ?s to send.
Who wants advice from Brian McKnight? Didn’t he used to beat his ex-wife?
Okay.. What do you do when your relationship is on unsteady ground with your girlfriend/ or boyfriend? How can you fix this?
I have to ask what he thinks about a boyfriend who asks his girlfriend to give him money to buy a cell phone and said that he wanted to buy the phone so he could talk to her more often. he had half but wanted her to put the other half that he did not have. She said she would do it wihtout letting him know that it bothered her. And she has been skeptical about him since then. i would like to know what he think about that situation
i think i will have the most controversial question of the bunch:
My guy and I have been together for some time now… The thing is he has a fiance and they are due to be married March 24th. I see him with her and he is so unhappy and so uncomfortable around her to the point they don’t have sex. When he’s with me he’s insanely happy, smiling and loving towards me- we can’t keep our hands off of eachother. I honestly don’t think he’s getting married for the right reasons besides the fact he has some feelings for her as his babies mother. I know I shouldn’t be sticking around as a self-respecting woman. But words of advice could you give both of us as a “couple” in love with eachother but things holding us back? If it all fell tomorrow I would still stand beside him with the risk of maybe him doing me the same.
First of all yes V-Day is coming up and yet AGAIN I am going to be lonely, but………………………..How in the world are ya’ll going to take relationship advice from a man that couldn’t keep his relationship with his longtime Wife (now ex-wife). I’m not trying to hate, I like him,but It makes me think how someone who couldn’t keep their relationship afloat give advice. That’s like if I were to write a book on how to raise a child when I don’t have one. But hey that’s just my word.
Why would I ask him about love advice? Iknow insiders who know about just how frequently he used to cheat on his wife. And his sorry ass attitude to how great he was in bed. No thanks CL!
I dont like cryin Mc Knight!
Are you guys kidding me with these questions? These have to be jokes. You don’t need Brian Mcnight to answer this mess. Let me help you out:
Don’t give no negro money to buy nothing, especially a cell phone? Don’t you watch Judge Joe? Every other case is about a cell phone. If I were you, I would cut that phone off now, before the bill climbs too high and ruins your credit. Tell baby to come back when he has some funds to kick your way. What man asks his woman for money for some petty stuff like that. He’s too broke for me and you too!
2nd. You are not in no relationship if “your man” is engaged to be married to someone else. You are in a recurring booty call. He’s happy because he’s doing something he ain’t got no business doing. That’s how men are. If you let him keep coming back to hit it, you can bet that he will and he’ll keep finding some sob story so you will keep opening the door (no pun intended). Oh, and let me tell you, it will fall, or rather you will, when the fiance finds out what is up and hits you in the head with a brick. Cheater! Find your own damn man!
Don’t worry folks, you have to trust me, I’m qualified to give this advice.
sooooo singing love songs qualifies you to give out relationship advice now?
thanx but no thanx
But seriously I have a question you can throw at Mr. McKnight. Not because I’m seeking his advice, but because I see this happening and I think it’s a shame.
Why is it that black men don’t want to marry anymore? How do we get our young black men to understand that the right woman is worth marrying and not just having babies by?
p.s. This don’t apply to me, I had the ring looooong before the baby came about.
Is he serious?
TIP you are not in a relationship sweetheart. I’ve done that chick on the side thing twice and in the end he leaves you for his main woman. Plain and simple. He wouldn’t be marrying her. And as we all know, if he is going to cheat WITH you he will most definitely cheat ON you. You know your worth as a woman, don’t settle for less and definitely don’t settle for something that doesn’t belong to you. Hope you can detach yourself from that unhealthy situation and find true happiness.
Okay, my question for Mr. Mcknight. I haven’t had much luck with relationships in the past. I can only think of one half-way successful relationship that was healthy and didn’t involve my boyfriend OR myself cheating. I’m dating someone new and he’s amazing, I don’t want things to get dull or boring. I just need to know the successful steps to a long lasting positive relationship. I’m all for it, so is he.
WHAT SHOULD A GIRL DO IF THERE MOMA DOENT APROVE OF THEM HAVING A BOYFIRENF BUT THERE IN LOVE?SHOULD SHE FOLLOW HER HEART OR DO WHAT MOM SAYS?
How does Brian McKnight know about CL? I guess more celebs log on more than we think. I am sure just as many of them don’t b/c the truth hurts.
I am sure they just want to hear from their Stans who will tell them their sh** smells like a dozen roses.
@5
I’m no B.McKinght, but….of course he looks “unhappy” when YOU see him with his fiancee. How else will he be able to sell you a dream? I think you should really think about what you’re doing. if he loves you tell him to leave his baby mama, he shouldn’t be allowed to have his cake and eat it too! that’s just so unfair to you and his baby mama. once they get married will you still see him? are you ok knowing that he is in her bed at night, cause that has nothing to do with kids. and please don’t buy into them NOT HAVING SEX, yeah right! he tells you that so you don’t have to think about him sexing her down.
I really hope the soon to be Mrs. finds out. not so she can spaz on you, but so she can know dude is not to be trusted and she can find someone that loves her for her and not cause she had his kids.
Real women stand up!!! Stop entertaining the foolishness!! Respect yourself and demand respect from others!!
OK I GOT ANOTHER ON
ME AND MY BOY FRIEND HAVE BEEN KNOWING EACHOTHER FOR 4 YEARS BEFORE WE START DATEIN.EVEN THO WE HAVE KNOW EACH OTHER THAT LONG I KNOW HIS WAYS AND THE WAY HE TREATS A GIRL (HES A PLAYA) BUT HE WANTS ME TO TELL HIM EVERYTHING AND TELL HIM HOW I FELL AND ITS HARD BEACUS I KNO HOW HIS RELATIONSHIPS ARE THEY ARE USUALLY SHORT AND HE FINDS ANOTHER CHICK….I WANT TO KNO IF I SHOULD TELL HIM EVERYTHING NOW OR WAIT UNTIL WE’VE BEEN TOGETHER FOR A MIN AND THEN OPEN UP TO HIM?
People are answering each other’s questions. LMAO!
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR BOYFRIEND IS ON THE DL!!!!!!!!!!??
BRIAN CANT EVEN DECIDE TO GET RID OF HIS TRANSVESTITE LOVER AND AINT HE DIVORCED WHO IN THE HELL IS HE TO TELL US ANYTHING ALTHOUGH HE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL…NEGRO PLEASE
These questions are killing me. I must be old compared to ya’ll because this don’t take nothing but common sense. That must come with age.
This is for any man or woman being “the other man/woman” : If they cheat WITH YOU they’re gonna cheat ON YOU. How you get them is how you keep them. That’s all there is to understand. If you wanna stay in the “other man/woman” position and knew from the start they were with someone else, excuse me to be so brutal because I know I might hurt feelings, but know your place. Excuse me again, but I’ll tell you what they think : You ain’t SHIT but pussy or dick on the side no matter what they tell you to keep their sideline pussy or dick. They’ll do anything to keep it cause the sex is good. This is why people stay on the side for YEARS and the spouse never leave their husband or wife, they don’t care like that, if they cared so much they would have left everything for you a long time ago. Do yourself a favor instead of wasting your time and energy, and get out of that relationship.
How he gon answer questions about heterosexual relationships?
#4 Get real. Where the hell have you been? Any man that asks you for money is weak, lame, and does not qualify to be in your presence. Don’t dare give him one cent. If you have, don’t give another further. I can assure you, you will be paying the bill very shortly! Jeez women, wise up. Everybody pay his or her own damn way!!! Men & Women alike — no more ”What have you done for me lately” shit. People are dying over smaller shit than this. Handle your own business. Word: Always listen to your conscious. IT WILL NEVER EVER DECEIVE YOU.
As far as Brian McKnight giving relationship advice? . . . . . WTF? #@!@@%*%$#*$$# The results would be more favorable asking Osma Bin Laden advice on how to find God. CL don’t grossly waste our time here. Celebrities do nothing more than provide fodder for entertainment needs and have nothing of substance to offer in terms of fruitful living. More importantly and emphatically — NONE of them can speak to healthy relationship maintaining or sustaining or otherwise. I usually just read this board when I’m up late or cannot sleep and never comment; however, I HAD to say a word here. CL — Looks like somebody missed snack time! Peace out!
Brian McKnight for relationship advice??? Pass!!
Ya’ll are crackin me up! What kind of stuff!? Someof these questions sound like the ones people write into Steve Harvey on the morning show and he let em have it cuz it was too stupid to be logical wit! LOL!
@ 17 LIL MOMMA, open up? dating him is already a huge risk. Playas are never good listeners and if they are they only use information they get to their advantage to get what they want (and we know what a playa wants), nothing more nothing else. How do you know this playa ain’t playing? Did he give you a reason to think that he might have changed? I’ll tell you, you saw how he treats girls, and when someone SHOWS YOU who they are BELIEVE THEM. You hesitate to tell him? you know what they say, if he doesn’t feel right then it must not be right. You might wanna SPARE YOURSELF a heartbreak, tears and regrets. Just cause he’s a good friend doesn’t mean he’s a good lover.
Didnt he just get divorced? I guess it’s do as I say and not as I do…
I’m just saying…..
Damn ya’ll if you didnt want the man to answer any questions just don’t post anything under this topic!! No need to bash the dude…
LOl!! Yall are crazy!!! I LoVe ThIs SiTe!!!!
I was just trying to be nice…
Um, I think Will & Jada would have been a better pick to receive advice from. Damnit I’ll ask my mom and dad, those crazy Africans been married for 36 years come V-Day!
what do you do , when your friend boyfriend only ussing her to get his green cart and she wont listen to you ?

^^ LOL!! But everyone makes mistakes and can learn from their mistakes. I’m sure a few relationship counselor divorced too. You don’t know if lies were involved or domestic violence or anything else.
congrats on you teaming up with brian and all but umm…… why would someone want advice from him? he’s divorced! whew! LOL
Hey Brian, I was just wondoring if it possible to date and be in a succesful relationship if you work with some one who everyone at your place of enployment are crushih on ? Is it worth the drama ? Kinda like you and Vanessa Williams?
How do you let go of someone you love so much especially when his silly behind will take out the damn trash?
ok!!!@#2
i do need some advice though, i’m gettin myself into a love triangle and i dont know what to do, i know i need to make a decision
correction:will not take out the trash
OMG….this must be another CL spoof.
Haha, why why WHY would I ask advice from Brian McKnight, who practically buys whores when he tours in the Philippines?? (I know this because one of my friends used to work at a 5-diamond hotel in Manila and McKnight would request prostitutes to his room).
I love me some Brian but he’s divorced and admitted he’s a womanizer…he can sing for me and make me live in an imaginary world for 4 minutes and that would be the best thing to ever get in my life!
LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS? DO THEY WORK? I DONT KNOW WHY IM ASKIN HIM, LIKE EVERYBODY SAID, HE CANT EVEN MAINTAIN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS CHEATING ASS
long distance relationships(in my opinion) do not work out , its too far , his personality may change around other people, you don’t know what he’s up to, he does not know what your up to and this causes arguments. Also you may need someone to comfort you during hard times and a voice on the phone doesn’t always help; but there are different cases.
my question is :
MY EX AND I ARE REALLY CLOSE BUT I THINK I AM FALLING FOR HIS BEST FRIEND AND HE IS FALLING FOR ME. ALSO I HAVE A FIANCE ALREADY WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Brian, I’d love for you to interpret this message I recieved from my significant other (seperated but still together per his request) after I asked him about a young lady. “oh her, she’s just gassed it’s not even that serious so whats up with you”. It screams BS to me but maybe I’m wrong~….
Relationship advice? Are you serious? Dude just got a divorce right?
You may want to change the tone of the post to it being more about romance advice/Valentine’s advice.
aahh with the failure of his own marriage and penchant for young asian girls, why is his relationship advice being sought out?
lyrics to a song are one thing. they express a sentiment. they do not demonstrate an ability to have successful relationships.
i’ll pass. . .
Yall a trip! Ask a question or keep it moving!
Yeah I forgot he was a womanizer too. Divorcing is one thing, we can all make a mistake, but fucking around is another. Really who wants relationship advice from a hoe? That’s like asking Supahead how to make a relationship work.
Wow that should be interesting! He may have some good info considering he was married for quite a few years !
Just cause he got a divorce doesn’t take away his knowledge…some people aren’t made for each other! I’m sure he has advice on what ain’t goin work! It’s all trial and error…I take my questions to Dr. Phil!Brian makes GREAT love songs…damn I love his voice!
LMFAO…I would never ask this man for advice for so many different reasons. Ladies, let me tell you something…why buy the cow when your getting the milk for free. The men aren’t the problem…honestly, it’s you. No man is going to love a woman that doesn’t love herself, no matter how much you front and try to act like you do… a man can tell.Ladies when you learn to respect each other, yourselves, and men…trust me you’ll find the man your looking for. Men like women who take care of themselves finicially, body wise( hit the gym ), learn to dress and wear heels ( make sure you know how to walk in them ), and your hair. Make sure you don’t conduct yourself in a ghetto manner ( it’s very common with our women today, and it’s manly ). If you get all of those on point , you’ll be able to get any man you want.
THIS MAN CHEATED ON HIS WIFE!! NO THANKS BRIAN!!
Just cause he got a divorce doesn’t take away his knowledge…some people aren’t made for each other!
^^ I agree, divorce has nothing to do with the ability to make a relationship work, we all make mistakes. Some people stay together for the kids and stay unhappy and cheating on each other, just because they stayed together doesn’t mean they can give the best advice.
I’m sure Will Smith could give brothers good advice, yet he divorce once. He made a mistake, shit happens, he learnt from it. Now he’s found the one and works things out with her.
Oh snap @ Chante
LMAO @ y’all in this post. When I saw this I was like hell nah I don’t want yo’ advice, B! You just got divorced.
LOL Brian gone ruin y’all relationships!
Sorry Angel!
*keeps it movin’*
funny yeah right what advice could he give me lmao
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Delete Kay Kay’s comment, it’s stretching the blog damn!
LOL..this is hilarious..but I wanted to know his take on relationships being 50/50, does it really exist?
Next week Diddy’s gonna give advice to up and coming rap musicians, y’all.
I’m 21 and have been dating the same man who is 23 for five years. We’ve broken up and gotten back together several times mainly due to his lying and cheating, but also for problems I caused by being controlling. Currently we are not together, but have been seeing each other about once or twice a month for about 6 months. He tells me that he loves me and misses me, but doesn’t know how to be a better man. I still am in love with him and I’ve tried to move on, but can’t. What should I do?
