I saw this on IG...



For those who don't know the scoop...here's a quick rundown of each couple in the pic...

Will & Jada...Hell yall saw the Red Table. Separated. Both did their thing. Jada's side nigga tattle tellin about their entanglement for album sales. Red Table. Jokes & concerns for days.

D-Wade & Gabby...Went thru a rough patch where they broke up. D-Wade EBRC a stripper chick (or some chick he knew. I forgot). Gets said girl prego. They get back together. Got hitched.

Mr. & Mrs. Swizz...Alicia was the side chick whom Swizz was having an affair wit. Breaks up "happy" home. Swizz divorced ex. Alicia is prego shortly after. They get married.

Jay & Bey aka Da Carters...A classic visual interpretation of her album "Lemonade" unexpectedly drops and breaks the innanet. Bey airs out Jay infidelity wit a Becky wit the long hair. Serena in the video still tryin to dance on rhythm (bless her heart), and Beyonce terrorizes a town wit a bat. Album...platinum +. Jay drops "4:44" (admits his wrongs)...platinum +. Solange's album...platinum...i think...still a classic. They get remarried (cuz Bey said Jay fucc'd up the 1st ring). Joint album drops same day as Nas (ether)...platinum ++++. Tour. Bey drops Coachella concerts on HBO. Billionaires. The end.

All have endure relationship/martial issues publicly AND YET...

...they still together.

So...should they're love still be celebrated? Is it still black love wit them, and other black celebrity couples? Or do martial flaws taint their image?
 
Celebrated is a strong word. I can admire that these couples have gone through some wild shit (excluding Swiss and Alicia- she got over him having a wife pretty easily) and they still seem to have love for each other.

A lot remains to be seen with Will and Jada in regards to if they'll be able to get past this but I think the biggest issue with them is that they now have to do it with the world watching every move they make, everything they post, etc. Honestly, I think they were cool until August ran his mouth.
 
Lea pretty much hit it on the head

Maybe not celebrated but at least as an example that if two people, TWO, are willing to work it out, then things might just be ok

It's gonna take some hard conversations to acknowledge the role you may have played in the demise of the relationship but if you want it to work, you can at least try

Facts. Being willing to try is half the battle.
 
I personally don’t give a damn about nobody’s relationship enough to celebrate it. Unless it’s my family’s or my own. They made it through obstacles that weren’t strong enough to break them, that’s what’s up. Obstacles that were crazy but hey, they made it.

if they’re are happy, then it’s cool.

The shyt happened a few years ago. Hell I'm pretty sure the public didn't know they were separated. They got back together. Like you said...shyt was cool until August tattle tell for album sales.

So do you thing the "black love" image many have portrayed them as is tainted?

Imo this situation they're going thru shatters that...in a good way. B/c now they get show the public that yes...married folks go thru shyt. Regardless who they are.

To the people that viewed their marriage that way it probably has tainted them. The reality is, marriage is hard and ain't for the weak or faint at heart so it didn't taint their image for me. They're human. I can't say I gave much thought to their marriage before this but I can applaud them for letting people into their lives when it isn't their business.
 
I loathe that "relationship goals" muthafuccas post on their social media. People have no clue what goes on behind closed doors couples relationship.
I do as well. I even caught myself saying goals to one persons relationship even after being adamant about not saying someone’s relationship is “goals”. Why, a few weeks later they broke up because he cheated and got a chick pregnant.

jinx
 
I think for a lot of folks...their ideal or the "image" of marriage, doesn't go beyond the wedding.

I don’t think some folks even understand the kinda work BOTH would have to put in, just to make it work. I don't put stock in celeb marriages either. But I know for a fact them red carpet photos, mag covers, vacation pics...is how some people judge if they're happy. The "relationship goals" crowd. Smh

Who was celebrating them? Wade, Jay, and Swizz's shit was too new to be of consequence and/or they handled the shit down low enough to be swept away.

Will and Jada been together for 25 years? That one is a cautionary tale. He's literally old boy from Casino. Will has known since 1995 or 96 that his wife wanted another man. At a time and even now when he could have literally walked outside and pulled a badder version of her, his ego wouldn't and won't let him believe he could lose to another man let alone a ghost. No amount of money, children, positivity, humor, or positioning those children to be successful can overcome the fact he ain't the one to her.

You think if she was with Pac she'd be rumored to be in an open relationship? You think Pac would have his kids out here writing open letters to a man from her past talking about come make mom happy? Or have his son calling another man daddy let alone a kid a few years older than his son? You think Jada would be out here talking about "bonds, firmament, etc." and all this weak shit when asked Yes/No questions about the relationship or would she do like every woman in a relationship with a man they respect and going to war over insinuations?

"Open what? Ain't nothing open about the relationship. It's me and him and a dead body if he think he sliding a bitch in here."

You're literally witnessing what happens when you try to outwork incompatibility. If Will leaves, I'll celebrate that. If he stays in a relationship that KID VERSION OF ME could see was bad THEN, he's a dumbass and every black man needs to raise their sons to see him as an example of how not to sleep with the enemy.

Uhh...ok Knight. Thanks? Lol.

If Will leaves? Hell he said HE kicked HER out AND...she ain't een deny it. So he about that action.

Plenty of folks have "celebrated" their love. Black love to be specific.

But like said b4...i think folks based their opinions on celeb black love by lookin at the red carpet pics, magazines, social media pics, etc. I can't think of any celeb black couple who were "willing" to open up about their marriage like that. Yeah i know their hand was forced in a way, but they could've still been silent about it.

I don’t celebrate celeb couples. I do commend them for showing that marriage isn't all smiles and good times. Or that they're living a perfect marriage life.
