We Started Out Like Bobby & Whitney...

A few months ago when Kimora Lee & Russell Simmons announced they were getting a divorce, I said that my faith in love was dwindling, and that faith in marriage was almost non-existent. However, I said that as long as Will & Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston stayed married, there was always a glimmer of hope. Well smack me and call me Suzy! Whitney has done gone and filed for divorce!

Now, everyone is going to be quick to point fingers at Bobby, but we all saw "Being Boby Brown", Bobby seems like a very easy going guy, who loves to have fun and the very crackish Whitney seemed like she didn't want him having any fun without her inclusion. People are saying that Bobby's living with Superhead or Whitney's dating a pastor, but how about we try this, they just fell out of love?

They are not staying together any longer for the naysayers or for their daughter, which surprises me. How many couples stayed together simply on the strength of the kids? They must figure, she's screwed up anyway, a divorce ain't gonna send her over the edge. Don't act like you don't remember those pictures from Myspace.

What does this say about marriage? Don't give me that "it was doomed from the start" look either! Back in '92 everyone gave their union six months or the rest of Bobby's career, but he gave himself a second life a few years back and their love held them together for almost 15 years. I too thought it was a sham at first, but maybe they did really love each other, maybe they were right for one another? You know the old saying, "the family that gets on together, belongs together". So, maybe we should blame whoever convinced Whitney that crack truly is wack for their demise, or maybe Cupid's arrow was supposed to hit someone else when they hooked up and he's just getting around to correcting his error.

Who makes out the most from this mess? The media? The gossips? Nope, Bobby! Whitney's going to owe him alimony until the day he dies! He gets to get his freak on legally now, doesn't have to worry about raising Bobbi Kris little ugly self or being married to a lesbian crackhead anymore. Bobby's on his way back to the top of the R&B charts, wait a minute, I was reaching.

I guess Will & Jada are all we have now to hold the candle for black love, I would say Ashford & Simpson, but any man who wears that much eyeliner has some explaining to do!
