Hello guys,
Michelle's Corner: To make my weekly post a lot more diverse, I have decided to create an additional segment - “Oh Wow!”. I will be weighing in on different occurrence in the world today, which I think we need to discuss more. I am hoping that this will be more of pop-culture. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A GOSSIP BLOG. IT IS JUST CREATIVE WRITING.
This week has been filled with some heartbreaking news, but I will like to weigh in on Khloe Kardashian’s boyfriend/baby daddy (Tristan Thompson). Tristan’s cheating scandal has been in the news since late last year (2017), when a video of him kissing and fondling with two women came out - you can watch here. I think the story is definitely out of control now and I feel so bad for Khloe. I know we all want to get married and find ‘the one’ but all these scary news, we will still get married *sarsasm*. Some people say Khloe’s issue is Karma - this is because she started dating Tristan while his first baby mama was about seven months pregnant with his first child. Maybe it is, but remember that Khloe was once married to Lamar Odom, who was also a serial cheater while they were married. Yes, Lamar had other children with his first woman, but they were reportedly not together when he met Khloe. She (Khloe) has consistently had to deal with unfaithful men and I think this is sad. Oh wow!
This issue is globally generalizable. In Nigeria, celebrities and Public figures have constantly battled infidelity with their spouses. In 2016, Toke Makinwa - media personality, realized that her husband had impregnated his ‘side chick’ shortly after their wedding. Earlier that year, Tiwa savage – A musician, recounted how her husband had been cheating on her with “edible catering”, even while she was having a miscarriage outside the country. Maybe it was just compatibility issues, Damilola Adegbite and Chris Attoh – both actors, quietly dissolved their marriage. While Mercy Aigbe’s husband claimed that she had been unfaithful in their marriage, after Mercy outed him as a wife beater.
Brad Pit and Angelina Jolie; and Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan decided to end their marriage amicalbly (we don’t know the story around that).
The most confusing thing is, as marriages are being dissolved, other’s are thriving and growing stronger. To mention a few, Bankole Wellington and Adesua Etomi; Amarachi and Kanu Nwankwo; Kim Kardashian and Kanye West; Omoni and Nnamdi Oboli; Omotola Jalade and Captain Mathew Ekeinde; Psquare and their wives and so on. Is it that these couples have an ideal system that is working for them? Do they experience these issues but handle it differently? Did they get married for the right reasons? What are the right reason? So many unanswered questions.
As much we need to respect the institution of marriage, I think these issues should be addressed, to help newly weds and singles.
I know HEART ACHE isn’t easy.
