Chapter 1: What led to Rico Hundo's infidelity?

545.996 - 564.847 Rico Hundo

And then that person, I said, you know what? You know, that's not the only situation that has happened. You know, and if we're going to push forward, if you're going to actually work and trying to forgive me, there's going to be no skeletons in my closet. And so I don't delete anything in my phone. Both of my phones. Here are my phones.

0

565.168 - 566.028 Kail Lowry

You let her go through your phones.

0

566.548 - 575.394 Rico Hundo

She had them for like. days. Cause there was a lot in there. You know, the whole come and clean process happened years after the fact, maybe a year or two.

0

575.554 - 593.319 Kail Lowry

You had cheated on her multiple times and you didn't come clean about it for years. Can you, can you walk me through from a man's perspective, the decision-making behind one cheating on her and two not telling her for years? Well, can you love someone and still cheat on them?

0

593.763 - 613.935 Rico Hundo

Of course. Of course. Right. Well, the first thing I would say, and I don't want to say in my defense, but part of the situation that happened, we had broken up for like two weeks at a time. And although technically that's not cheating, those two week periods is when I would go out and do whatever I did. But we still live together, even though we were broken up. Right.

613.975 - 616.837 Rico Hundo

So it's still like cheating, but it's not. Right.

616.857 - 617.137 Kail Lowry

For sure.

617.797 - 618.778 Rico Hundo

Technically, it's not.

620.979 - 628.083 Kail Lowry

That's what my ex used to do to me. So I recognize that. But I was the one that never broke up. She would break up with me. Because you were doing dog shit.

Chapter 2: How did Rico's relationship change after having a child?

2789.388 - 2790.109 Kail Lowry

I remember you telling me that.

0

2790.129 - 2790.97 Rico Hundo

We're still like this.

0

2791.03 - 2791.591 Kail Lowry

That's your brother.

0

2791.711 - 2801.091 Rico Hundo

That's my brother. You know what I'm saying? So I did still have that... that male figure in my life. And the greatest thing about him is that he's, like, a real OG.

0

2801.151 - 2802.031 Kail Lowry

Do you call him dad?

2802.332 - 2803.052 Rico Hundo

Nah, nah, nah.

2803.152 - 2804.052 Kail Lowry

Have you ever called him dad?

2804.252 - 2804.872 Rico Hundo

No, no, no.

2804.892 - 2805.833 Kail Lowry

You've always called him by his name?

Chapter 3: What are the challenges of loyalty in modern relationships?

2954.838 - 2967.846 Kail Lowry

Maybe five, depending on what the situation is. Two, for me, I don't know. I feel like that you should still be in that very new phase of the relationship that you're still building. So for me, cheating within the first two years, I think is crazy.

0

2968.166 - 2975.051 Rico Hundo

So look, check this out. Back in the day, they said that the women were having sex with the mailman and the milkman, right? This is like what they say. I wasn't there.

0

2975.071 - 2977.452 Kail Lowry

Yeah, that's where like the, is that the milkman's daughter came from?

0

2977.512 - 2978.072 Rico Hundo

Exactly.

0

2978.132 - 2978.573 Kail Lowry

Right, right, right.

2978.713 - 2990.141 Rico Hundo

Also back in the day, at the same time, The husband had a whole other family that he was taking care of on the other side of town that nobody knew that he had kids over there. So women and men been cheating on each other.

2990.561 - 3012.031 Kail Lowry

I think the way that women tolerated and put up with cheating before, and it was easier to turn a blind eye to cheating before, was because we solely relied on men to be the providers and to be the producers of the home. And so we had to turn a blind eye. We didn't have a choice. Where today... I've made more money than all my exes combined. So I don't need you for any reason.

3012.171 - 3029.756 Kail Lowry

And if you can't help me around the house, I'm going to hire someone who can. So to me, why should I tolerate that when there is that 3% or 30% that would be faithful? Yeah, the pool is smaller and the time that I get to it might be long, but I'm willing to wait.

3030.036 - 3031.256 Rico Hundo

They're typically already taken.

Chapter 5: Is cheating a choice or a consequence of circumstances?

2197.452 - 2197.873 Kail Lowry

She stayed.

0

2198.073 - 2198.933 Rico Hundo

Is that not strength?

0

2199.313 - 2200.173 Kail Lowry

No, it's spineless.

0

2200.634 - 2213.378 Rico Hundo

That's actually the most. And that's my thing, right? So right now we're actually in the age and a time where so many people can't actually deal with adversity. And not just in cheating. I'm just saying in life.

0

2213.778 - 2214.698 Kail Lowry

They can or they can't?

2214.758 - 2216.839 Rico Hundo

Can't. It's actually being proven.

2217.628 - 2222.011 Kail Lowry

And the problem is... But what does that have to do with cheating? You think cheating should be a part of adversities? Because I just don't agree.

2222.031 - 2227.315 Rico Hundo

I think that cheating can be. I don't think a serial cheater... I think that's entirely different.

2227.335 - 2227.796 Kail Lowry

Is that what you were?
