- I'm Tami Roman.
I have been cheated on before.
You [bleep] my man when I was married to him.
I even wrote a book about it.
And I've made it my mission to help
suspicious lovers catch their cheating partners in the act.
Hold up! - Hey, you brought this
to my place of business! How dare you? What is this?
- Ooh!
But catching a player
is not a one-person game.
- We all know he's been lying to everybody.
- Together, with my relationship coaches...
- You have to say,
I'm going to step up and do what's right.
- And stealthy investigation team,
we won't stop until we find the truth.
- They think they slick.
Well, we slicker.
- Are you ready to see the footage?
Once our investigation is complete,
the suspicious lover can team up
with the partner's other lover...
- Are you willing to, like, team up with me, though?
'Cause I would like you to do this with me.
- Oh, [bleep].
- Or take down both of them
in an undercover ambush.
- Who the [bleep] you think you are?
- Why the [bleep] y'all got cameras in my [bleep]?
What the [bleep] is wrong with you?
- Cheaters beware.
- Don't play with me about my son.
- Your son?
- The truth doesn't cost anything.
There was a pregnancy scare.
- [sobs] - But a lie
could cost you everything.
- You gotta fundamentally say, "I'm gonna be different."
- You know I love you. - You love me, act like it.
- You been playing with me for years,
and I ain't never did [bleep].
- We can't even figure out
what the [bleep] is going on in here.
- Tami! Tami!
- Nobody should think they're better
than anybody else because y'all all [bleep] been played.

- Hey, there. - How you doing?
I'm doing well. How are you?
Nice meeting you.
Have a seat over here.
- Thank you, beautiful.
- OK.
So we're just going to dig right in.
You came to me because you think
there might be something going on in your relationship
with Ricky. - Yes.
- But first, tell me about you.
- I have a production company.
- Yes. - And I'm an insurance broker.
[laughs] - OK, so you do it all.
- Me and Ricky, we're both hustlers.
We've been together for five years now.
- Nice. Do you have children?
- I do, he doesn't. Yes, ma'am.
- OK, how many kids do you have?
- I have two. - Oh.
- Yes, two will do.
But they're not children. They're grown.
- Like me. I have two.
Like you said, two will do.
I don't need any more.
- [laughs]
- So life is going good. - Right.
- And five years ago, you said,
you met Ricky. - Five years.
- How did you meet Ricky?
- I worked at the radio station.
And he came in, and I guess he saw me.
And he said, from that point, he just came back every day
until he got my attention. - Wow.
And you liked that?
- I loved it.
- OK. How does it evolve
to this long-term relationship?
- He swept me off my feet in a different way.
I ain't gonna lie. I'm from the projects,
so I'm used to rough.
- Right, OK, OK.
- And he was just like a big teddy bear to me.
Ricky invested in my production company.
And I was going through stuff.
And he knew how to comfort me when I was upset.
Because I just lost my grandmother
not too long ago, so-- - I'm sorry to hear that.
- Don't want to get emotional, but that was my world.
She brought the light into my life.
My grandmother, she raised me and my children.
- Wow. - So, yeah.
- Totally understand that.
My grandmother was very instrumental
in my family, as well.
- She raised me since I was 15.
- Same here.
- Me and my kids got to experience love
to a whole other level.
You know what I'm saying?
I will never feel love like I felt for my grandmother,
I don't think ever.
- Did she get the opportunity to meet Ricky?
- Actually, Ricky was her boyfriend.
[laughter]
My grandmother called him her boyfriend.
And she called me Cinderella.
- Ah. - So she was like, "Cinderella,
"give me and my boyfriend something to drink.
Cinderella, go to the store for me and my boyfriend."
- OK. - That was her little thing.
She loved Ricky.
- So he did pass the grandma test?
- He did.
- So that's a testament to him.
What does he do for a living?
- He works and manages a club.
- Is that what's causing problems in the relationship?
- I don't know if it's actually the club or just the fact
that he's so flirtatious.
- Got it.
- OK.
Let me tell you now.
I got the password to his phone.
- [sighs]
- So I go through the phone.
And it's really no messages in the text messages.
But go on Instagram.
- In the DMs.
- In the DMs, dropping all kinds of eggplants.
- Really. - So he, "Oh, that's just--
"it's Instagram. I'm just getting them
to come to the club, they promoting it."
So it's always an excuse.
Just like we was in the club.
And these girls, it was their birthday--
pretty, nice-looking girls.
And one of the girls tapped me on my shoulder.
And she said, "I need to let you know something.
"You his girlfriend, and he trying to holla at me.
"He all in my DMs, dropping eggplants and sending messages
and this, that, and the third."
And so he said, "Well, what y'all talking about?"
I said, "Yeah, she said you all in her DM,
dropping all kind of eggplants and emojis."
"She lying."
- Oh, wow.
- "I was just-- the pictures was nice,
this, that, and the third."
And she's going back and forth, like, "No, you wasn't just
"saying the pictures was nice.
You just asked me could we go on a date,"
and this, that, and the third.
And I'm just sitting in--
- So what--so what did you do?
How did it end up?
- I--I put him out for about a week or so.
- And how old is he?
- He's 10 years younger than me.
- My husband is 17 years younger than me.
- Yeah.
- With my situation, I did notice
that there were some moments where it just felt like I was
at a different place in my life than he is
because of that age gap.
Are you experiencing any of that?
- It's starting to feel like that now.
And that's why I needed your help.
He say he want a baby with me, but it's just that
I had a tubal ligation at 21.
- You tied your tubes...
- Yes. - At 21?
- At 21.
- Well, I respect that.
I mean, it's like you knew what you wanted
and didn't want, right?
- But we're in the midst of trying to get
my tubal ligation reversed. - Wow.
- So I've been seeing doctor after doctor.
- Wow.
- I don't know if the surgery's going to work.
You understand? - Mm-hmm.
- I don't know if they're going to be able to reverse it.
I don't know if IVF going to work.
I got an appointment next week. - Wow.
- I don't want everything that we worked towards
or we built up to crumble.
- I did the same thing you did.
I did the IVF.
We tried three times.
We had three miscarriages.
And I said to myself, am I being selfish and trying
to hold him hostage to a situation that
doesn't serve him in any way?
- Right. - And he looked at me.
And he said, "Maybe God doesn't want me to have children.
"But if you will be my wife, then I would love to spend
the rest of my life with you."
- That was beautiful.
- I told you that story because I wanted to know
have you ever had those feelings of,
like, we are at two completely different places.
And maybe he's not for me.
And maybe I'm trying to make him for me.
- And I have opened the door to let him go.
He doesn't want to go.
And he's building all these amazing dreams with me.
We're going to grow old together.
And we're going to do this, and we're going to do that.
At the end of the day, like, this is a lot to go through.
And if I go through this process
and I actually have this baby, just to find out
a man cheating on me--
honestly, Tami, I ain't for raising no kid by myself.
Not looking this good. You crazy.
- Well, you said that at 21.
I'm not about to do that. - [laughs]
- You're not about to do that.
- I'm not about to do that.
- What you're willing to do is a major step.
- Yes. - So I can see
how that's important to you
and why you need to know the truth.
- Mm-hmm.
- I want you to understand your power as a strong Black woman.
That has to mean more to you than Ricky,
if Ricky ain't going to do right.
- That's true. - OK?
Let me tell you how it works.
I need to know where these clubs is that,
where he hang out, all of that stuff
so that I can give it to my investigation team.
They'll send me the footage.
I'll call you back into the office.
- OK. - We will look at everything.
We'll then decide how you want to proceed.
- OK.
- What I need for you to do now is just
continue acting normal.
Don't let on with Ricky that we are actually surveilling him.
- OK. - OK? All right.
- I appreciate you.

You know how they-- - Just do this.
- Yeah. - OK, breathe deep.
It's going to be OK.
It'll be OK. - Mm-hmm.
- There is a term called "pocketing,"
where the person will have a relationship with you
and keep you in their pocket and separate you
from the other things going on in their lives.
Now, that enables them to have whole other relationships
without their partner knowing.
It looks to me like that's what Ricky's doing.
- Mm-hmm. - It's going to be OK.
- You know how this is making me feel, honestly?
Like I'm a desperate bitch or something.
I'm definitely not. But look how stupid I look.

The only person I'm going to let y'all see
tears come out these eyes behind was my granny.
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
- Because that was real love. - Yeah.
- You know what I'm saying?
- What was that about her love that made you
know that was true and real?
- Because my grandmother's love was unconditional.
She just loved me for who I was.
And she seen that light in me that nobody else could see.
And she pushed me to be who I am today.
That's why I said, like, I ain't
dropping no tears over nobody's grown-ass, busted-ass son.
Yeah, I do love you.
But bitch, please.
I got an appointment next week.

with Ricky moving forward.
And I'm going to go on my own healing journey.
But I don't want to get in the way
