"That takes a real woman. It's always, always, always been about what's best for her children.

Eva Longoria's no innocent. According to their maid, when Tony was away from home, traveling with the Spurs, she (maid) saw plenty of indiscretions on Eva's part. And I'm sorry, but Tony didn't actually "cheat". He sent a couple flirty texts to a mutual friend of theirs. I'm not saying that's right, but at the same time, it's not like he had a full-blown affair, like the picture the tabloids paint. A month after the breakup, Eva jumped into a relationship with Penelope Cruz's little brother. Clearly she wasn't all THAT heartbroken!

The writing was on the wall with James. Everything about him spelled r-e-b-e-l-l-i-o-u-s. As soon as I would have saw all those damn tattoos, that would have had my spider senses tingling and I would have heard, "Danger Will Robinson!"
She makes her living as an actress promoting fantasy. Problem with those Hollywood types is that they reside in fantasy so much that they confuse reality for fantasy. Poor girl. I guess she thought her love "would change him". A pig always goes back to play in the mud. To be fair to Mr. James, something must be really wrong with her. For a woman to marry a KNOWN wannabe "bad boy" tells me that she has some deep issues. I suppose that is why she became an actress.

Notice how much she has started to look like Joan Rivers? And the people around Georgetown, TX, didn't really care for her.

Sandra is a beautiful, incredibly generous, classy lady. Jesse was a foolish man. Now his tatooed lady has dumped him. Men can say the right things and be incredibly convincing when it is beneficial to them. Sandra lifted his profile.

[jmslotnick]

Sandra Bullock is such a class act and I could never understand how she even hooked up with the truly disgusting Jesse James. What he did to her is the lowest form of trash, which is what he is. I only hope she finds someone who is worthy of her and she the finds happiness she deserves. She has gotten joy from her little Louie and hope she find much more joy.

I have 2 aunts who are now divorced. What each had gone through I do not know. It did have svere consequences on each child in the now defunct 'family'. Each got through it. But the 3 children did see psychiatrist's to 'air out the anger, and feelings' each had towards his/her mom/dad.
I myself never had been in any situation where divorce was possible. My parents were happily married for 39 years. They would be married 55 years in October, but Mom died.
As for me, I never even considered marriage.

Yeah Right! Friends will come to Support you..
They will Avoid you, espeically if they are Married
And you will Not be invited anymore either.. Your a Threat to steal their Wifes or husbands..
You really think a Married Woman wants a Single woman Hanging around with their Husband?
Especially if that Single woman is Prettier?

Reality Check!

GIVE ME A BREAK!

[gl1430]

Man are you off base with this one. You do need a break - a break (or several) at a counciler's ofc. because you've got a bad case of the "insecurities". If a man or woman leaves you then there's something wrong with your own marriage and if you're so insecure to feel you have to be putting a fence around your partner to avoid cheating/seperation/divorce then you're the one with the problem. When a friend needs help or a shoulder to cry on and all you can think about is your own insecure love life by rationalizing who is prettier than you then you need to go out and get a life cause you're nobody's friend.

[Marie Speranza]

...unfortunately...so many times that is the case...couples are insecure at any age, and woman fear their guy will stray. Sadly, some things may not be perfect in the marriage and straying comes easy...if we are all honest...attraction is all chemistry...and many times one will be attracted to another, but never act on it...as it has to be mutual anyway.

[stevehajohnson]

01:03 PM on 04/07/2012

This should be a clue for all of us. If I lost my wife, I would be so lost and hurt, I don't know what I'd do, and I don't have money to get away or attract some good friends. So I hope one or two of them would care and help, Good for them and God Bless you all

[Marie Speranza]

04:00 PM on 04/07/2012

....different story...some might help very willingly...but loneliness makes for vulnerabilty...you will be vulnerable...and they might get attached to you...pick single gals, or guys who are so sure of their relationship, you wouldn't pose a problem. Sometimes we don't know how lucky we are to be content in a marriage. We shouldn't think of the sad things...when they happen, people know what to do.

Thank you, I hadn't looked at it before like that. It always marvels me to see new aspects of a thought, and they were really looking honestly, and that is you Mam, Thank you so much. God Bless. I will always try to help if I can see they see what I stand for, but noe you gave me a way to rethink it and do some better planing. God Bless you Mam very well said

.....people fall for others they are attracted to and it's all chemistry...not too much sense...IMHO...two people should not be together unless they both care for each other. So, it matters not who leaves...it's the wiser ghing than staying...if two, otherwise, nice people cannotmake it...they won't...
