“For me I think I modelled marriage my own way. Alone. Because of my upbringing and my parents failing in marriage and then me not being raised by both of them I created my own world where I’m like, ‘When I get a chance to do this thing, I’m gonna do it this way.’ So much that you wanna lead in everything. You wanna cover everything. You wanna be the driver of this thing so much that you forget that there’s someone next to you who holds the map. There’s a driver and there’s a navigator and both of you are important,” he explained.

He explained that his love died when his grand gestures weren’t received how he'd imaged they would.

“Every time I would make a move that I thought was big for us and it wasn’t received like that, a part of me was dying," Black Coffee added.

Fans react to Black Coffee's revelation

In the comments, netizens applauded Black Coffee for finally opening up about his failed marriage and taking accountability for his role. Others felt that he was using his childhood as an excuse.

Here are some of the reactions:

@LutendoMagoro said:

“It’s important for partners to understand each other’s love language. He bought her a gift but was it what she wanted? Perhaps she just wanted time with her husband and to be told she is loved and appreciated. I’m glad that he takes accountability for his role. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾”

@mbdwenpr complimented:

“He is now maturing. He is 100% correct and with this understanding, he will not fail should he try again with another person.”
