"Troy how can you fix your face to say its my fault you cheated?"
"You never had time for me"
"Are you serious?" Brianna said rolling her eyes
"I'm dead serious, you was never there when I needed you. If anything you forced me to go out and find someone to fill that void'"
"So it's my fault that I have to work two jobs to support our household because you haven't been able to keep a job?"
"That's not the point . . ."
"Wait let me finish, and I would assume it's also my fault that even though I work two jobs I still have to pick our daughter up from school, help with homework and still cook dinner? I do everything while you play with your friends."
"Brianna you know I'm out everyday looking for a job, being a black man isn't easy!"
"Oh please, maybe I would be able to make time to spend with you if you was at least doing your part for Tiara. How about cooking dinner every once in a while. I work long hours and sometimes I want to come home to a hot meal."
"You throw having a job in my face as often as you possibly can. When I was out there getting money, supporting you, you wasn't complaining. Now that the roles have reversed you swear you the sh!t. Brianna it's time to come down from your high horse."
"High Horse? You must be crazy! Im not throwing anything in your face. I don't have to, you have to deal with you not doing anything all day. I'm doing what needs to be done, without any complaints Troy. You claim the reason you cheated was because you felt neglected, but what about me and how I feel?"
"What about you?"Troy said shaking his head.
"It don't even matter at this point. I'm going to continue to do what needs to be done for our daughter. You will forever be in my life only because of Tiara but I no longer have to deal with you on that level."
"I will always be there for my daughter."
"I hope so, she need the balance of both of us as she gets older."
I can't say I agree with Troy's reason for cheating especially after I heard why Brianna didnt really have time for him. A relationship is a team effort, the responsibility shouldnt fall just on one person. I must say Im glad that both parents agree that Tiara needs her dad in her life whether both parents are together or not. At first when they were arguing I thought I would have to get involved, Troy was very animated with his words. I thought Brianna could use some assistance but she held her own.
