Should You Answer That DM? How Temptation Ruins Marriages (And How to Fix Yours)

A late-night DM from an ex can feel exciting—but it can also destroy a marriage. In this episode, Big Slick breaks down a raw listener story about being married, bored, and tempted to cheat after an old flame suddenly slides into the DMs. We get real about why temptation feels so strong, why nostalgia lies, and how “spinning the block” can cost you your peace, your partner, and the life you’ve built.

You’ll learn the psychology behind temptation, why boredom in marriage is actually a warning sign, and the practical steps couples can use to rebuild passion without looking for excitement outside the relationship. We cover micro-dates, communication resets, love-language tune-ups, playful routines, and simple ways to bring energy back into a long-term relationship.

We also talk boundaries—why you should block the ex, stop the secret conversations, and choose the long-term security of your marriage over the short-term thrill of a risky DM. If you’re questioning whether to fix your marriage or fall into temptation, this episode gives you a clear, honest roadmap.

Oh, sounds like some bullshit going on already. Let's see, let's jump into it. My ex hit me up after years. All the old feelings came back. Problem is, I'm married. The marriage is okay, but I'm not, but it's not exciting. I'm tempted to cheat. What should I do? It sounds like it's a bunch of bullshit going on here. Look, first of all, you said your ex hit you up, right? After years, so this person been your ex for a reason for years. So I don't even know why you're entertaining this shit right here, but let's entertain it. This is this is what we do. I'm gonna talk my shit for entertainment. So the ex hit you up, and old feelings start coming back. So, what old feelings started coming back that felt good? Because if it was any good feelings, why the fuck is your ex? Why they ain't the person you with now, and why you ain't married this person? So, these are the questions we need to ask right now. Like, so so what's really going on here? Old feelings came back. I don't know what old feelings that is, but we're gonna find out, right? So you marry. So, my thing is this if it's an ex, don't even do it, bro. Because this is this is what happened. Your ex don't even want you. That your ex don't want you, your ex don't got shit going on right now for herself. This is this is what's going on. I'm gonna tell you some real shit. Moving closer, if you can't hear, your ex don't got nothing going on with herself. She sees you happily married, so she's ready to fuck this shit up. So, what's gonna happen is she's gonna catch you with temptation, try to reel you in, you know. I mean, hit you with some old shit that she knows you like. Oh, yeah, he likes when I say this or this or do this. Try to rekindle some bullshit, don't do it because it's gonna fuck you up in the long run. Because what that ex is gonna do is fuck up your marriage, and then you're gonna realize, damn, that's why she was my damn ex. I forgot this motherfucker is crazy. This bitch is in the bushes, and you trying to go to work. What are you doing out here in the bushes? Now the bitch is a bush bitch. Come on, man. Come, you know why? Because your dumb ass wanna entertain shit. She jump in your demon DMs, you ready to jump out the window? What is wrong with you, man? Stop it. And this goes to everybody that's out there, man. Stop messing with exes, they're your ex for a reason. Stop spinning a block, bruh. If you're on a straight, you you you're on your own journey right now. Why are you gonna double back to the starting point? Why why would you come back around? You're supposed to keep it moving. Spin a block if you want to. Because if you spin a block and fuck with this bitch, you're gonna be sitting on all flats looking crazy, and you ain't gonna have nobody. So don't do it. Your ex is trying to fuck you up, bro. You should be able to see this from a mile away. Don't do it. And you saying your marriage is not exciting, make it exciting. Why it's not exciting? It might be because of you, because it's not exciting. What are you doing? Make it spontaneous. You know what I'm saying? So if you ain't been with this ex for several years, you had to be married for a few years. So spice things back up, man. Rekindle it. You know what I mean? Start doing what you did when you first met her. You know what I'm saying? A lot of times, us as men, you want to blame it on the women if something ain't exciting. You need to do something too. Like, you know what I'm saying? Stop it, bro. That doubling back is gonna have you looking crazy in the face with your windows broke out and all types of shit. So, what you're gonna create is you already know your ex is a fucking nutcase. So now you're going your wife is gonna cut your fucking head off. So now you got two women that's going crazy right now, and it's not gonna look good for you, bro. So, my opinion is block the bitch from in anything. I don't how does she get in contact with you? It's probably some social media shit or whatever. Block everything, do not reach back out, don't do none of that, man. Leave all that shit in the past, man. Leave it alone. Y'all niggas is crazy out here, man. Work on your marriage being exciting. If it's if if if excitement is the only thing you can you can spice shit up, bro.
