She wasn’t happy in her relationship, always scowling at Jarrod or rolling her eyes.

Their relationship lasted for almost 20 years, and they share two children, Payton and Cameron Schulz.
That news was shocking - it seemed like they’d be together forever, bickering or laughing.
However, even during their “happiest” days, there were red flags.
Reality TV is more popular than ever.
She wants to touch him.They’re both Tauruses, and this zodiac sign is all about pleasure.
They also prioritize financial security, always wanting to feel safe.
With Jarrod, that rarely happened.
She always felt hard done by - she didn’t think he helped her enough.
The Taurus woman Brandi, born on May 16, 1980, felt like she did all the parenting.
She had the kinds of grievances that build up over time, pushing a relationship towards a breaking point.
There wasn’t enough fun and pleasure to make getting through the hard times worthwhile.
Now, Brandi shares so many good times with Jarrod on Instagram and TikTok.
That means that the lion’s share of parenting was on her.
However, she adores them.
Nonetheless, being a child’s main emotional support all the time can be tiring.
When choosing a partner, a person should look at how they treat others.
It’s an indicator of their character.
Brandi needs the kind of stability that Clifford gives her.
With Jarrod, she was always off balance.
She said that her home life with her children was calmer and happier after she broke up with him.
She could just enjoy life with her kids, rather than always tiptoeing around a grumpy man.
A breakup is trickier when kids are involved, but everyone can come out happier.
In fact, it seems like he treats Brandi like royalty.
He respects her - his reverence for her is clear.
Clifford’s someone who loves and supports women.He’s gentle and that comes across as strength.
He’s strong enough to show his love.He’s not insecure or hiding how he feels.
Clifford said:
Im so lucky to get another year around the sun with you!
You have been a blessing to me & my familia.
I love you so much!!
Brandi has had tough times.
She lost her father, whom she dearly loved.
Her relationship with Jarrod was turbulent - in fact, after they split up, she got a tattoo.
She was inked with the word,“free.
“It meant that she couldlive without abuse.
Brandi also lives with an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto’s disease.
In everyone’s life, some rain falls.
Loved ones make it easier to handle the ups and downs.
Brandi has her children, and Clifford too - she’s got so many people who love her.
In fact, she seems to be enjoying just living.
Describing the canine as a source of"unconditional love"was endearing.

Little dogggg….Little doggg…How I love you Little Doggg!!
In post after post, the sheer decency of this man shines through.
He appreciates his pet - he appreciates his girlfriend.
He’s quite open about how he feels, never holding back.
This kind of emotional honesty is just what Brandi needs.
She seems like a tough cookie, but she might not be.
Her veneer on the show was often cynical… even mean-spirited.
However, the misery of living in a bad relationship might have been the reason why.
When Brandi met Clifford, her life got sunnier.
After the split, Jarrod also showcased a new relationship.
By the time they arrived, Jarrod was long gone.
However, he was accused of being physically abusive after a screaming match allegedly got physical.
All of that controversy is probably the reason why he’s so quiet now.
He doesn’t post about his kids or Rachel anymore.
He faded out ofStorage Wars.
However, Brandi seems very open about her life online.
She’s got nothing to hide or be ashamed of.
She’s a happy woman who’s overcome so much.
She wore a low-cut dress and looked totally relaxed.
According to her post, she was enjoying a meal at Heritage Barbecue.
Since she left Jarrod, Brandi’s been showing off a slimmer body and cheerier mindset.
In fact,Brandi’s been rocking a lot of revenge outfitssince her messy breakup.
In the gallery above, some of her outfits are bright, tight and bold.
She isn’t afraid of wearing flashy clothes.
Lately, whatever she wears looks good, mostly because she’s in such a good mood.
Known for her glowering and sarcasm, Brandi’s blooming.
Clifford brings out her lighter side.
He activated Brandi’s hopefulness and happiness.
He brings out the best in her.
He seems like a good-natured person who makes her laugh.
Jarrod, as per Brandi herself, was much moodier.
He’s not just a doting uncle.
As well, he’s the owner of a watering hole called Our Place Bar & Grill.
See it inBrandi’s TikTok, as shown above.
His father was into cooking and that’s what inspired Clifford to launch the Lake Forest bar.
He’s a member of the rotary club who enjoys giving back to his community.
That is so traumatic.
It’s no wonder Clifford goes out of his way to make people feel good now.
He is living with so much grief.
Loved ones are never forgotten.
To help others, Clifford has worked with"veterans"and"young people.
“Clearly, he’s a sensitive person who wants to make a difference.
Things were never totally chilled-out.
Now, Brandi’s life seems to be easier.
Her kids are a bit older and more independent, although she’s still devoted to them.
She’s established in her career.
Brandi can stop and smell the roses, and with Clifford, doing that is so easy.
Brandi and Jarrod basically hate each other.
Things got really bad between them.
However, she doesn’t talk about Jarrod so much nowadays.
She appeared happy to be single until she met Clifford.
Then, she settled down right away.
Jarrod was just all wrong for her.
When she used to make fun of Jarrod, it was so different.
There was a real edge to it.
She meant to really put him down.
It was cute and showed the intimacy between the two.
They are totally comfortable with one another.
Storage Warsis a pop culture phenomenon.
See Brandi and Jarrod find a valuable collectible in the clip above.
Brandistuck with the show after Jarrod left, but it’s likely that he wasn’t asked to return.
In a sense, in the split, he lost a lot.
However, he also has his freedom from a bad relationship.
With Clifford, Brandi seems like a whole new person.
She’s embracing joy instead of rolling her eyes.
Hopefully, she and Clifford will marry someday.
No matter what he studied, he seems to have picked up some people skills along the way.
He’s into food and does his best to offer enticing eats for reasonable prices.
There are also cheesesteaks - a guilty pleasure that’s so American.
His bar has a down-home quality - it’s a fun place to hang out that’s not pretentious.
