another marriage ruined by "Facebook" .. In the past two years I know a few relationships that have been destroyed, or put in major turmoil over freaking "Facebook"..... including one of my own.

Dude.

You got pwned by the internet.

Problem with facebook is that when the walls between Independent George and Relationship George are destroyed, bad things happen.

WTG Tony Parker. Way to become the new Rafael Palmeiro, you spineless frog.

Eva needs to hook up with Evan so we can "keep up with the Longoria's."

As for Tony "The Frog", might I say that Bruce Jenner has a steppdaughter he can banged for the time being.

Definitely Parker. Technically Delonte didn't do anything wrong. Lebron's mom wasn't even married.

now if you are older than 40 or not attractive and not rich then maybe you should get married and live under her rules...or it can be a lonely road.

After Eva Longoria-Parker filed for divorce today in an LA coutroom she tweeted her sadness about her marriage ending and then the rush was on to land the name of the woman who ruined her marriage.

According to several sources, Erin Berry, is the woman Tony Parker has been having a year-long affair with. Berry is the wife of former San Antonio Spurs star, Brent Berry. The kicker in all this….Brent and Erin are still in the middle of a divorce themselves. According to Sports Illustrated writer Bryan Armen Graham, “Longoria said she found text messages from wife of a former teammate on Parker’s phone. Source says former teammate was Barry.”

Accorind go Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush, “We spoke to erin barry…Brent Barry’s wife from San Antonio Spurs…she cried and said “No comment,” that message was via twitter.

the fact that the barry's were divorcing during the affair is not a "kicker". it makes it a bit more palatable, actually

as far as the loaded athlete goes, i can totally understand not wanting to get married (w/o a strong pre-nup, at least). putting millions upon millions of dollars on the line is a high price to pay for the romantic notion of a lifetime of happiness

Of course there are reasons for athletes to get married. Good grief.

Unless:

(a) You love someone.

(b) Want to marry that person

(c) Want kids with that person.

(d) And believe that a marriage is the most stable environment in which to have those kids.

Contrarily, there's no point in getting married if you're still intending to bone a bunch of other people. Unless, of course, your spouse understands that it will be part of the deal (which I suspect a number of them do).

a and c do not require marriage, obviously. and b is filler. as for d, that stability is shattered by divorce anyway (which doesn't mean that marriage might not be a good idea to begin with, but i'm just sayin')

and let's think about this from the woman's point of view. why does she want marriage to this rich athlete? i would imagine most will get their dream wedding. nothing wrong with that, i guess. but once that's in the past, how do you know he's not just staying with you to save money? if financial commitment is your idea of true romance, then so be it

"B" isn't "filler" if you WANT to get married. Wanting to do something is one of best reasons there is for doing that thing.

I think actual, legal commitment is romantic, frankly. It shows that you have the balls to commit to something you care about despite the legally enforceable downside.

Hell, marriage ain't for everyone, rich or not. I'm merely saying that this "there's no reason for an athlete to marry" line of thinking is garbage.

His point may be primarily that. It's really no secret that it's difficult for athletes and entertainers (actresses, comedians, etc) to keep a marriage going. Whether that's an excuse or something that's a fair criticism is another story.

It works the same way that sales people and other jobs that constantly travel work, only your job makes you well known and (likely) more attractive than normal people.

Marriages/relationships aren't things that work well if you are constantly away from each other. In that manner, there might not be a great point for it.

i'm just saying that wanting something is irrelevant to the conversation unless that wanting is based in some sort of logic

it's like telling a child not to eat the pizza that just came out of the oven. he says "but i want to!" wanting to doesn't change the argument on whether you SHOULD

which is fine. i'm sure many people don't find getting the government involved in their relationship to be particularly romantic, though

I am getting the sense that this (divorce) has happened to a few of our posters. There is just so much venom towards marriage in here it is kind of a downer.

Marriage is a religious thing that the government inexplicably decided to slap a financial bonus to. I will not be getting married.
