Apollo Nida understands that he could be going to jail for quite some time; and he wants his wife Phaedra Parks to wait for him while he serves what could be 30 years behind bars.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta breakout star told RCMS With Wanda Smith in a candid interview this week, "I think Phaedra, in a perfect world, should be supportive as a wife should be...If she chooses to derail from the plan, then that's what she chooses to do.

Apollo is prepared for whatever happens in life. "Whatever's been thrown at me, I deal with it. I would like to say I would want her to stay around and do what a wife should do."

He also opened up about dealing with the situation with he and Parks' two sons Ayden and Dylan. He admitted that the possibility of having to leave his children while he serves time behind bars is what really "hurts the most.

"When [my son Ayden] cries out for me, and I'm not there for him, then potentially who knows what could happen? Let's just say hypothetically, my wife wants to go somewhere else, that means another man will be in my household. I don't want that for my child."

Nida also cleared up the charges that he is facing. While he pleaded guilty to fraud including bank and loan earlier this month, he maintained that he did not steal from individual victims.

He said, "Apollo Nida has never tarn money out of an individual's account ever in life...I'm not a thief in essence. It's no right in what i've done. I'm very remorseful. I'm very upset behind it. I probably hurt more than the people hurt because I let everybody down. I let a lot of people down. I messed up."
