We all know celebrities have unconventional relationships and often live and play by a different set of rules, but when it comes to Amber Rose’s mating advice some probably wonder what game she’s playing.
Wiz Khalifa’s wife recently appeared on an episode of the talk show “Bethenny” alongside Tiki Barber and actor Ian Ziering (weird combination right?) and the three panelists got into a discussion on jealousy. Bethenny asked whether it’s justified to have concerns about your significant other being out in the streets after midnight or whether there’s really any difference in hanging out at 4 pm or 4 am, and to that Amber Rose said:
“You have to let your man live because at the end of the day you want him to be like, ‘Wow, I have a really great girl at home and she kind of lets me live.’ You don’t want him to resent you in the end.”
Unsurprisingly, Ian, who we haven’t seen much of since his “90210” days, gave that advice two thumbs up, saying: “That’s more of a turn on. It really is if your wife says go ahead, go have fun with the boys.”
Understood.
There’s certainly nothing attractive about a jealous, overbearing girlfriend who texts her man every hour on the hour asking where he is and who he’s with — or worse, doesn’t let her guy have his much-needed man time and always invites herself to tag along. But the idea of letting a man live can get a little tricky depending on what exactly his definition of living is. Amber, of course, has no choice but to deal with late nights at the club and groupie advances because that’s pretty much how Wiz and every other rapper lives, but when I posed this idea to a coworker who’s in a relationship she was not about it at all, asking the timeless question: But why do men always like to be out in the streets so late with their boys?
I think that question has to deal with a number of factors. Firstly, he’s probably trying to relish his “freedom,” so to speak, and act like a college boy again because we all know how immature men can get when they get around each other and alcohol is involved. But secondly, it really depends on the relationship status of the friends he’s hanging out with. If a man has a bunch of single friends then, yeah, he’s likely gonna try to hang like one of the boys. But, if your man has a bunch of married friends or guys who are at least in relationships they’re gonna have their behinds in the house by midnight because none of their girls are having it either.
Every now and then it shouldn’t be a big deal to let your man live. I think the bigger question is what is his definition of living and how often he’s trying to be about that life.
What do you say to the idea of letting your man live?
