    The ending is so raw and intense. It shows a woman who has had enough, in her mind there is no going back. The way she walked out after she caught him cheating and didn’t even flinch shows she was done. The pitiful forceful hug he was trying to give at the end was just hilarious. This doesn’t have to be related to domestic violence, once a person knows they have mentally locked out from a relationship , be it marriage or long term, just know there is no going back. I love this. 90s child for life, these kids have no idea what we grew up with. Ashanti is a queen herself.

    Powerful song, like Eve's "Love Is Blind". During college, I took Marriage and the family, and played Love Is Blind for my professor, who loved it. Some girl got smart during class and said she didn't come to class to learn about rap music. I told her it was the message behind the song and to close her mouth and she may actually learn something important. Domestic violence is no joke.

    He new he was a broken individual and didn't deserve her. When the person whose in your conner and should be going hard for you is jealous, they always make it seem like you're the problem in the relationship. When it fact internally they can't take it that you're winning, because they don't have the talent or drive like to obtain that success. They know you're gullible to always think probably I'm the problem in the relationship making him mad, when in fact his ego/jealousy is what doomed the relationship from the very beginning.
