While appearing in Iyanla: Fix My Life, Gabe opened up about the abusive 12 years long marriage for the first time in front of Trina. He revealed how he tried to resolve his unspoken childhood problems by acting out the same patterns in his relationship, hoping things would be different, but unaware of how to make that happen. With tearful eyes, he said,

“I’m mad and angry for letting you bully me around and push me around. How I experienced you is, mean.  Hurtful, painful. When you became like an enemy to me and it reminded me of my whole life.”
