Jasmine’s Reviews > Sister Gumbo: Spicy Vignettes from Black Women on Life, Sex and Relationships > Status Update

“I would tell a young woman that she should never give up herself so completely. Sure, it’s nice to be somebody’s wife, but that doesn’t mean she has to become a complete extension of that man.”

How is keeping a cheating man to one-up the woman he got pregnant under the “best advice received” section 😩? Some of these “old school”, “back-in-the-day” women don’t make sense to me.

“Look, baby. If a man don’t give you much when he’s dating you, he’s gonna give you even less when he marries you.”

Sadie and Marcella are my least favorite in this book 😩. I can’t take them seriously.

IKYAMFL 🤣‼️

“An affair is just a fantasy. It’s what you wish your marriage could be, so don’t think that getting involved in one will make the rest of your life easier because all it really does is make things more complicated.”

“Making love starts when you get up in the morning.”

“Sex is wonderful, but you don’t have to be stupid just because it’s good.”
