Single & The City
“The Problem Within”
Hellooooo Single Ladies & Gents, and all others visiting! I was recently devastated by the news of Halle Berry and her baby’s father, Gabriel, breaking up (well, I wasn’t really devastated, but for lack of better words- I was WOW’d). I didn’t see it coming!? Did you? I mean, here is the critically acclaimed Most Beautiful Woman in the World, and she has been divorced, engaged, broke up, and/or dumped numerous times in the past, and here we are again facing another incident of Halle becoming single. These men are crazy right?! Well, it’s actually Halle being labeled as “the crazy one” and I took to my Twitter & Facebook status to address it with my popular Hot Topic Poll Questions: What do U think of a highly attractive woman always ending up single (or as the masses say- “not able to keep a man”)? Do U think something is “wrong” w/ her?
Most of the feedback I received, from both male and female, was that there’s most likely something going on that we don’t see, and that stretches far beyond her beauty. I can respect that. I can’t dissect the character of someone I don’t know, but I did run across this article entitled “Why Guys Marry Some Girls (but Not Others),” that gave me a personal ah-ha! moment. Relationships are multi-faceted and require people in them to be likewise multi-faceted; we can’t get caught up in ONE aspect of being in one. The article also pointed out that there’s particular qualities one must posses to be a good wife; please be advised- a perfect example cannot be found in any magazines or online article, instead, it’s right in Proverbs 31:10-31.
Outwardly we think that Halle Berry would be one heck of a catch and that anyone with her would be more than privileged (or maybe that’s just me who thinks that). While that may be true, that’s still an outward bias; inwardly there’s going to be issues we need to work on that will stretch far beyond any talent or good looks. Some issues won’t go away or perhaps they can only be handled by a certain person in a certain fashion. Until we find that certainty- our relationships will not be successful. A lot of the feedback I got when I placed my Twitter/FB poll was that if you keep getting the same results with different people then you may need to look in the mirror and find that the problem lies within. That’s deep.
Editor’s Note: This recently released from People.com:
On Friday news leaked that Halle Berry and her baby’s father had broken up….. citing the couple’s 10 year age difference as the reason. Well, one of Halle’s friends publicists told People.com
“She kicked him out months ago because he wasn’t able to pull his weight in the relationship and she wanted to move on.”
So there you have it… Thanks B-Lo for the tip.
In the meantime…
Still Single,

I don’t understand why people assume Halle will end up single. She had a breakup just like ever other human being in the world. The only difference is, she is a celeb, so every relationship is public. People breakup at all ages and all stages of their lives.
Besides, I never thought Gabrielle was anything other than a sperm donor anyway. And I never understand why people always assume that it was the woman who was dumped or that a woman who is in a relationship, but not married, is single because it is the man who doesn’t want to marry her. Halle has said publicly that she will never marry again and I, personally, don’t believe she ever intended to spend the rest of her life with Gabrielle. She got what she wanted from him and his purpose is served.
