"She laid her heart and soul right in your hands. You stole her every dream and you crushed her plans"

Gabrielle Union has been the name on tip of many tongues in recent weeks. I want to start by praising her on her role in Being Mary Jane. The show is fantastic. I saw the first episode when they previewed it months ago claiming it was a BET original movie. The season officially started Tuesday, and I'm thoroughly impressed with it. Everyone check it out Tuesday Nights on BET at 9. Everyone is also talking about her big engagement to Dwayne Wade. One word can be used to describe this union : FINALLY! I feel like they've been together for a lifetime. I've never been one to root for this couple, because she stole him from someone else. Yes, I understand that men can't be stolen. They have coherent thoughts and play an equal role in any affair. So basically, their both scum. This situation is even worse, because Dwayne Wade got full custody of the children and their being raised by Gabrielle. The mother went mental (literally) as any woman in that situation would. It wouldn't have hurt me to be cheated on, or if he left. But it would have killed me to have my children taken away and be raised by the woman and man who tore apart my life. You carry a child for 9 months and the skank gets to raise them for free. So many issues, not enough tissues.

These are the engagement photos they released shortly after he popped the question.

They are an extremely adorable couple. Dwayne proposed to her in front of his two sons and nephew that they are raising. The little boys held up a song that said "Would you marry us?". Awww. It was very cute, and those kids earned a right to be involved in the decision. The problem is this is what we're taught to believe is "black love". Unlike other races, you can get a successful man but by the time you've found him God only knows how many children he's already fathered.  In case you didn't know, this celebrity news story doesn't end with the engagement or those three children. Gabrielle & Dwayne had a brief break up earlier in 2013. During this break up, Mr. Wade went and fathered his third child (fourth if you count the nephew). So she gets to start her new life with her husband as the step-mother of four with two different baby mamas involved. Awww, black love. Not. It's anything but fair. I'm bitter.

It's Gabrielle's decision to chose this life for herself. Everyone knows that once a cheater, always a cheater. He cheated to get her. He cheated on her, and he will do it again. What makes this whole thing worse is that Gabrielle is publicly blaming herself for her husband affair and this new child. Like WTF? Did you get a random person pregnant? No. Did you tell him to have sex with this woman? no. She says by being too involved in her career she played a part in the affair. That comment alone set women back fifty years at least. Because she didn't devote every waking moment of her entire life to pleasing him, it's okay that he cheated? If he was so bored, why didn't he take the time to raise and be with these children he keeps on producing. The fact that they took a short break, and he was able to move on that fast says something. What those two have isn't love. With enough prayer and reflection on past mistakes, they can make a change and possibly a happy life together. But if things keep going the way they are, they are not going to last. Don't buy the dream when they sell you one. This is not the ideal anyone should want for themselves.
