On the road to forgiveness, Mary Mary’s Tina Campbell reveals that she takes some of the blame for her husband Teddy Campbell’s cheating.
Campbell’s original confession of dealing with rebuilding a marriage after infidelity appeared in Ebony Magazine with some pretty real revelations. In the June 2013 interview, she detailed her feelings about “trying to stab her husband” and cutting him with words to make him feel small. At that time, Campbell couldn’t see beyond the bad into what was to come for her. But in an interview with CNikki the WE tv reality star opens up on taking full responsibility for why her husband chose to step outside their marriage and about how she overcame that.
“I, Tina, assume full responsibility for the issues that I contributed to the relationship. I was controlling, talked too much. And you can never be heard over me because when I wanna talk I got the floor and ain’t nobody gonna get it from me until I give it up,” Campbell said.
Through the trial and tribulations, which she revealed for the third season of their successful Mary Mary reality show, she says that “she was glad the cameras caught it” so that other women going through similar situations can see that their is hope at the end of the tunnel.
“People are always referring to Christians as “not normal”—and I was like, we need to let people see what a normal Christian life looks like. I didn’t ever expect my pretty good life to all of a sudden become hell in front of the cameras.”
Campbell continues:
“You want your husband to be the man and to take his place, but because ‘I’m a strong woman, I’m a this woman and I’m a that woman’ we busy stepping on our man. Making him feel small. And you know what? I did that. And I take responsibility for that.”
