Y'TIS met her husband Will 2 years ago while he was incarcerated. She says she "has always had a curious mind" so went onto the penpal website where they met. The pair began talking everyday before getting married in April last year. Y'tis says speaking to Will was a breath of fresh air and her cloudy days felt sunny again.
Y'tis says she’s a very private person and doesn’t care about other people’s opinions. On social media, Y'tis gets a lot of positive comments because she likes to make fun content about being a prison wife and wants to show people how you can make a bad situation great. She also gets a lot of negativity and hate with people calling her "Delusional", saying "They're always so nice in jail" and judging her for taking him on a trip to Disneyland via video call. People assume that she’s spending a lot of money on Will and he’s using her but Y'tis says Will actually supports her financially too. Will even bought Y'tis her dream car from prison, a Jeep Willys.
In this episode her long term friend Johnell comes round to ask Y'tis about her relationship. Johnell found out about the relationship on social media and didn't believe it was real. Johnell says she was shocked and said "this is abnormal" for Y'tis.

00:00This is your taste she fell in love with well
00:05People judge my relationship because my husband is in prison
00:14My prison has been bought me a car
00:17Y'all be delusional as if that's being with the jailbirds
00:22My friend Janelle will be coming over and we will be discussing how she feels about my relationship
00:28What did you think? What was your like first initial thoughts? I was just like this girl is crazy
00:35Hi, my name is Jatice I met my husband will on a pen pal website and he's in prison I
00:41Met William back in October of 2022. My husband is in prison on one count of first-degree robbery
00:49Nothing in particular drew me to the website. I've always had a curious mind
00:55So I just ended up going on there one day just out of curiosity and we're just having normal conversation
01:02We're still getting to know each other. We have been together going on two years. We got married one year ago
01:08It was not your typical
01:11Proposal that any woman or a girl has imagined growing up, but it was nice
01:16It was sentimental and it definitely had a lot of meaning behind it
01:21My friend Janelle will be coming over and we will be discussing how she feels about my relationship
01:27She's pretty much an upfront person. She has no filter. She's pretty much blunt. She'll tell it how it is
01:37My name is Janelle and I've been knowing Jatice
01:40Since 2013 14, so probably about like 10 years now. I found out so she didn't really tell me
01:47I pretty much approached her and asked her because I see them on tik-tok at first
01:50I kind of was just shocked because she does spontaneous things. It's not like her doing adventurous and
01:56Spontaneous things is abnormal, but something like this was kind of like
02:00Abnormal, I guess so. Do you remember when I called you when I told you I was scrolling on tik-tok and what I seen right?
02:07I'm jelly that day. It caught me so off guard. It was like damn at that time
02:12I had just went viral so for me to pop up on your for you page. I think that was really funny
02:18I wasn't expecting nobody that I knew and was close with to be on my
02:23My life, that's why I had to double-take like
02:29That is who I think it is what was your like first initial thoughts I
02:35Was just like this goes crazy like
02:39You do adventurous stuff you are very spontaneous, but this was kind of extreme I'm okay
02:43So this is where you've been hiding that right? That's what I initially thought
02:46You know just like how you said seeing it in shows is making sure that you know
02:50It wasn't like a scam or it wasn't somebody trying to like catfish you or somebody that was trying to use you for the time
02:55Being and things like that once I start seeing like you smiling and seeing your genuine happiness
03:01I was all okay
03:01Like I gotta start talking to her about this to see like how real it is
03:05So here are a couple of the cards that came with the gifts that we have gotten me over here
03:12We have a Valentine's Day card that will send me last year. It has pictures of us
03:18It says miss you number one
03:21And these are all like things that he's like got out of magazine and stuff like that just to make the card more special
03:28He sends him like all the time and this is not even all
03:32Over here. We have three. Hello Kitty bobbleheads that he had made for me out of tissue paper
03:40My favorite gift of all time that he has gotten me is my
03:452024 Jeep Willys
03:46He's bought me my dream car that I really wanted
03:50So he bought the car back in September of last year and I had been talking about this car
03:55For months for months for months one day
03:58I came to see him and after a busy he had me go meet up with his best friend at a
04:04Dealership that he worked at and yeah, I had the car
04:08I don't know how he was able to afford the car at the same time
04:12I know my husband does have a porter job in the facility that he's currently working at if it was anything that he shouldn't be
04:20Doing he know I wouldn't allow it
04:21But for the most part I give my husband that role of being a provider and doing everything that comes with just being a man
04:29While he's still in prison today. I'm gonna call William
04:33What you been doing?
04:36Thank you for the update what did your cousin say when he found out that we was dating
04:46Why would you say you gifted me the Jeep
04:56How long did it take for you to realize that you wanted to give me a car because the car is not just a small
05:02Gift like that's something that is very big. Like nobody's just out giving people cars every day on the streets
05:19You gotta go, okay, I love you
05:29I
05:31Enjoy talking to him being able to just have these type of small interactions where he's on a video call
05:37I look forward to them because it actually feels like just a small part of him is here and he's present and he's
05:45By my side, although he's on a kiosk machine
05:49People are very judgmental and you don't ever want to put somebody in the awkward position to where they're like jeopardizing their situation
05:56Just off of like other people's opinions and judgment because we don't have to walk in your shoes
06:00I face quite a lot of judgment in the beginning and still so this day now as I continue to share my
06:07Relationship publicly. This is sad and why girls think it's a trend to do anything for followers and likes
06:15Y'all be delusional as if I think with the jailbirds
06:20They always so nice in jail and I responded back to her and I said who hurt you
06:26Being on a platform like tick-tock you really have to have
06:31For one the confidence and to the mindset that you're not gonna let nobody discourage you
06:38So outside of the circumstances and everything that's just going on right now. Can you really see yourself?
06:44You know outside of the circumstances when it hits like real life. He's home
06:48Can you see yourself like living together taking it to a long-term permanent situation?
06:54Yeah
06:55Girl, what the hell I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't see life with him on the outside
07:02I can literally have a life out here on my own
07:04I don't have to wait for him but choosing to wait for him on my own
07:09That's something that I've given my time and attention to will has definitely changed the narrative
07:16for not just myself, but I feel like a lot of other women when it came to
07:22Viewing a man
07:24Incarcerated he has so much in store
07:27That we look forward to upon his release date
07:30and that's basically just continuing everything that we have set out to do just basically having fun being adventurous and
07:39Literally exploring life for anybody that judges my relationship
07:43I would say that you just need to take the time to get to know
07:47Me get to know him get to know us as a hope you really have to make the best out of a situation like this
07:53And you have no clue of who I am who my husband is
07:57And if you really got to know me, you would know that I'm cool
08:00He cool and we just two people who just happen to fall in love while he's incarcerated
08:17You
