00:07
Hey guys, I should go.
00:08
Laura.
00:08
Damn it, it's louder.
00:09
Have you guys ever heard of the term?
00:11
Follow me, let me school you.
00:14
The term comes from Venezuela.
00:16
Basically, it's a woman that's super duper jealous.
00:19
Now, I know you're thinking, oh my God, that's so sexist.
00:22
Not all women are jealous.
00:23
Men can be jealous too.
00:24
Yes, you're right.
00:25
Men can be jealous too.
00:26
But I don't know what the word for the men is now.
00:28
I was born with a little inside of me.
00:30
Why?
00:30
Because my mom was a Guma herself.
00:32
She's no longer a Guma but she still has a gui side of her just
00:35
like we all do.
00:36
The guan side of me started acting up when I was young and naive
00:39
and I didn't know anything about love.
00:41
I was with a boyfriend who loved me very much, but he was crazy
00:45
He cheated on me a lot.
00:47
The first time it happened, he cheated on me with his neighbor
00:49
and I was like, did you cheat on me?
00:51
He was like, no.
00:51
And I'm like, OK, but did you cheat on me?
00:53
And he started crying?
00:54
He's like, yes, I'm sorry.
00:55
And I was like, it's ok.
00:56
I forgive you.
00:57
But then you know what happened?
00:58
Little by little the inside of me started growing and growing
01:02
and growing.
01:03
Every time he cheated on me, she became paranoid and she was
01:06
always like, where are you at?
01:07
Where are you going?
01:08
Who are you with?
01:08
How much money are you spending?
01:09
Why am I not coming with you?
01:11
What are you gonna do?
01:11
Wait, what, what's happening?
01:13
Right.
01:13
I became a and it was awful.
01:16
I did not like being a guma but I felt like he led me to it.
01:19
I know I'm not supposed to blame anyone for how I'm feeling
01:22
and my actions.
01:22
But at the end of the day, it was low key his fault.
01:25
I know it was your fault.
01:25
Don't play.
01:26
I should have known better.
01:27
I should have left the relationship a long time ago even though
01:30
it was his fault.
01:31
But still I'm taking responsibility.
01:33
I think that the most thing that I have ever done was we had been
01:37
dating my ex and I, and I saw a video of him and a girl on Facebook
01:42
and they were hugging and she was flirting all upon him.
01:45
And I had been telling him I'm like, I don't want you near her
01:48
I don't want you to talk to her because I don't like her because
01:50
I know she likes you.
01:51
And yet there was a video of them that surfaced.
01:54
And so I was so upset, I ripped up all of our pictures and then
01:58
I called his work.
01:59
He was a bus boy at the time and I was like, hi, may I please speak
02:02
to this person?
02:03
And they're like, oh, he's working and I was like, it's an emergency
02:06
and they're like, oh, ok.
02:07
So when he answered the phone, he's like, hey, baby, what's
02:09
up, what's up is everything ok.
02:10
And I'm like, why are you away, please?
02:14
You?
02:14
I and so I broke up with him the next day I got back with him.
02:18
Why?
02:18
Because I'm a, that's just what we do also.
02:21
I was young and naive, like I said, I'm not perfect.
02:23
Anyway, at the end of the day, don't be with someone who's cheating
02:25
on you.
02:26
Listen to your inner.
02:27
That's why we have it.
02:29
It's like a sick sense except in Venezuela.
02:31
We just call it a that's all it is.
02:33
I know mine is still inside of me.
02:35
Let me tell you right now.
02:36
If my boyfriend would start acting up, my would be like, because
02:40
she knows that's why I have her.
02:42
We need that, that sixth sense.
02:44
Do you guys feel like you guys have a inside of you?
02:46
Do you guys have that sixth sense?
02:48
Not only for women, men could have it too.
02:50
Women could be horrible women as well.
02:52
I'm not biased.
02:53
I'm just talking from my perspective, from my experiences
02:57
Let me know your experiences.
02:59
I'll read them.
02:59
Y'all know.
03:00
I do hold up.
03:01
You know what I haven't heard from my boyfriend in like, 30
03:04
minutes.
03:05
I don't even know what's happening.
