COSIGN WITH #15
It ain’t always the mans fault so some of us around here need to learn to not always jump to that conclusion.
However i am shocked, another longtime black couple down the drain. Who’s next Will and Jada?!?! Whats the world coming to.

I’m surprised he hooked up with a white woman!! I’m guessing that blind item about a black comedian secretely hooking up with white women is about CR.

Marriage…sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t I don’t know why these even shock me anymore…it does seem like every 2 seconds we are hearing about a divorce. It is very hard work, and some people just get tired of putting in work…

Why is everyone calling hollywood??? I live nowhere near hollywood and the people in my city get divorced like crazy. Do ur research peeps its society as a whole. When the divorce rate is damn near 50%– the celebs in hollywood can not be the ones making that average so high! Society has a problem- the fact that we run from problems. I know plenty of poeple who have gotten divorced without really trying to work things out. Its just easier to run away than to deal. C’est la Vie…..

I think it’s a running trend. A couple of years ago I don’t remember who it was, probably Jlo and Ben A. said they were getting married and everyone in Hollywood followed suit, because of all the attention being thrown their way.
In 2006, Brad and Jennifer I think started the trend of divorce and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. I cannot even count the number of divorces going down in black or white Hollywood on both my hands and half my toes.
I don’t know the full extent of what’s going on with Chris, but I do know most of these stars are just slaves to the media.
How do you after 2 years (Jessica and Nick) decide you don’t like each other. Your butts should have figured out before you said “I do.”
These problems didn’t just show themselves one day. There were signs or hints before and saying “I do” means you accept that challege.
That’s like an battered women saying he just changed all assudden. No honey, he was probably controlling the relationship before you got married. And many of them look back and I should have saw this or that.
I’m not condemning thoses situations, because I don’t justify harm to no one, but in Hollywood divorce be over some of the most frivolous shit.
Whew…

You would have thougt about 5 years or so problems would occur. But after 10 years you file for divorce that’s crazy.

^^^Same here.
I mean, some people get it mixed up;
LOVE does not equal COMMITMENT,
but COMMITMENT equals LOVE…
You can fall out of “romantic” love with someone, but if you’ve COMMITTED yourself to that person and stand by your vows, you can work (gasp) to get that “romantic” love back…
(I know that there are extreme cases for divorce, but more often than not, most those we’ve heard about have been over trivial things.)

I mentioned Beyonce and Jay-Z because I said I was tired of all these people in these fake azz marriages and “Relationships” So that is y I mentioned them. Read please!!! Dont go getting your underwear all in a bunch. Hell, everybody is entitled to an opinion. And by the way,I agree that most marriages seem to fail nowadays.

It’s a shame. I am having second thoughts about marriage myself. Really….With my generation, I don’t personally know of any successful marriages. Not even my parents because both are divorced and re-married.

THEY have been having problems with their marrriage for years, I’m shocked it took THIS LONG to file for divorce!!!
And for the Jada-Will Will be next comment…
THEY have an arranged marriage with ground rules already set and Jada runs that marriage, So they wouldn’t have any reason to get divorced… Will has admitted as much on several occassions

@#80″How do you after 2 years (Jessica and Nick) decide you don’t like each other. Your butts should have figured out before you said “I do.””
As someone who was slated to say “I do” in 2005, I’m glad as hell I didn’t. Nine years and 2.5 of them under the same roof = Bullshi!t. Now I’m drafting an agreement so that he doesn’t try to get anything he did pay for, like the electronics. I don’t know about everybody else but when there is a whole lot of talk and you’re the only one putting things into action, it gets tired and eventually you have to go!

I don’t think I even believe in marriage anymore. My parents divorced when I was 3 and i’m still trying to get over how two pwople can come toegther and NOT make it work. Marriage is just hard you really have to be in for the long haul or just don’t bother. What’s sad about this situation is there are two little girls invloved.

I remember seeing a behind the scenes special on him and his wife was there and she came across and EXTREAMLY insecure about his fame and money and how that attracts other women. He made “jokes” about it but apparently he got tired of her insecurity!

I think divorce should be illegal. People are not taking marriage seriously. This way you will really think before jumping the broom if this person is the one for you. I think some people do it just because, and that’s not right. Make divorcing illegal you will defintely get a different response to marriage. People will think twice before deciding to spend the rest of their natural life with someone.(Literally)

People need to understand that marriage takes work and patience. God has to be in these relationships and when you don’t have God, your relationship will fade very quickly. Marriage will never work if people can’t except that it takes work and more than love to last a lifetime.
I just don’t think that people are putting the time to work things out and that makes me mad.

i BELIEVE the bigest reason for DIVORCE is BOREDOM,that and NO GOOD friends/relatives medaling(both sides)
(all of them)
and LUSTING(see friends)JEALOUSY(they want a piece too)they usually know both your schedules(jobs) so they can easily (CALL WHEN YOUR NOT THERE)cause ENVY by keepin you out CLUBBIN,DRINKIN OR EVEN VIDEO GAMES OR BASKETBALL cause they know your SIGNIFICANT OUTHER will be MAD as HELL(cause you didn’t spend time with them) and they can give a shoulder(d**k)too CRY ON.all this coupled with A JOB(conflicting schedules/shifts) and you better not work OVERTIME(for living expences)ALL add up to YOU NOT BEING AROUND which will GUARENTEE when you all are together it’s gonna be FIGHTING.did i forget to mention KIDS.
don’t let the OUTHER(see friends)wanted to go out but they had to BABYSIT.BUT lets not forget your ME time that will send you OUT LOOKIN JUST TO LOOK?
WILL ALL END UP IN A DIVORCE.
ya see WE are PROGRAMMED for SELF(no one else MATTERS and we believe our partners are PARTAY-ING living a BALLERS LIFE when were NOT AROUND)
I don’t know WHY we can’t just admit we missed one another instead of the RAGE THAT MAKES US want to ARGUE we should just START THE LUV-IN BUT…………
JEALOUSY IS ONE HELLAVA DRUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(of one LIFE).

This is what to do; gain some fame, make some money, hire a nice looking housekeeper. Pay her well, treat her with utmost respect, make her your “wife” without being married and fuk around with whoever you want. Better than these skank money grubbing hoes out here today.

Well it never was a secret that Rock’s wife was his kept woman and he had his flings with other women. I guess after a while that takes a toll on a marriage. LOL. Chris better get a high powered attorney before that redbone snatch up all his dough… hehe

#107 Krellz said: “Bill Cosby is still with his wife.”
==========================================
Yeah, but he’s been treating her worst than Kobe in Colorado! Bill has done anything he wants to for all these years. Now, he’s so damn old, he may as well stay with Camille. She’s 62 and he’s 70! The damage is done and she put up with it for all those years! Hats off to her for hangin in there, cause most women would have filed on his cheatin, butt-pinchin azz long ago!
At least Chris realized he’s no good and bailed! Sometimes, the strong give up and go away…while the weak give up and stay! Chris said in his stand-up routine that his wife didn’t give him head or excitement!

Commnet #112… Alot of that stuff is Too True
For me, the main thing that did my marriage in was Friends (i.e. Her Girlfriends) and her assumption that I was out Fucking Around All the time (She was Very Possessive and Jealous of my relationship w/ my family and friends)

I am not surprised about the divorce. I am surprised the marriage lasted this long. Chris Rock never seemed that thrilled about being married and having children. I think she thought if she had children he would stay home more. With all the beautiful women in the world ,why settle for her? I always felt that he could do better.

How can this be true, when they were both on Oprah today promoting his new movie? This rumor has been around for months. So what’s really going on?
