Dear Bossip, I am 44-years old and have 5 kids who are all pretty much grown except my two teens. I met a man who is 6 years younger than me and he was so nice and made me feel like I mattered. I am overweight, but I have a beautiful heart and soul. But, after a couple months he changed and called me horrible names and tore my soul out. Then, he said he was sorry and I listened to him tell me that he has been through sad and painful relationships with women and his mom. So, I gave him so many chances then he seemed to be okay. Then, I noticed when he drank he became someone else. I always had to prove to him I loved him. I wouldn’t cheat and I couldn’t have friends because it was about us only. Then, I started to hear so many things about his violent past and how he had been in prison. I am not a judge so I gave him a chance. Then, we married. Why I don’t know So, with my job I have to submit finger prints for any adult who lives in the home. His didn’t pass and I found out even more stuff that he had done as a teen. The state pulled my license and I couldn’t work for over three months or get a job due to the fact I was married to this man. I almost lost everything and couldn’t feed my kids or pay bills. He moved to his aunt’s home because I had to save my job to feed my kids and myself. So, my job said I couldn’t be married to him. I filed for a divorce and felt so horrible, but I had to because he hasn’t worked ever since I’ve known him for the last 6 years. So, he sleeps in the park and calls me names and says it’s my fault. But, I paid his child support and supported him physically, financially, and mentally. And, when I couldn’t feed my kids or our dogs he just said what do you want me to do I don’t have a job. He never told me he was bipolar. He’s made my life hell, him and his family. I just want to know, I guess, am I wrong for saving my job of 15 years to feed my kids? – Job Over My Husband Dear Ms. Job Over My Husband , Wow! I’m truly sorry for all that you’ve been through. This is truly traumatic and devastating. And, I want you to know, first and foremost, girl, you don’t owe him a damn thing! The hell is wrong with that man! Be glad that your job did you the favor and made you divorce him sooner rather than much later. Your life would have ended up with you destitute, crazy, homeless, and broke! No ma’am! No man is worth losing your health, wealth, mentality, and emotional well-being over. But, look here, you had all the clues and insights into this man before you married him. You just didn’t pay attention because as you said you are overweight, and this man showed you some affection and attention. Uhm, sweetie, I don’t care how overweight or how you feel about yourself, but don’t ever let your self-esteem and self-worth be tied to how a man, especially a man who makes you feel good because you are uncomfortable and unhappy with yourself. He saw his way into your life, and his weasel a** squirmed right into it and played you. And, I bet that is what happened. He made you feel good about yourself for a while, and once he knew he was in your good graces his ugly colors began to display. Once he called you out of your name the first time that should have been the last time. No amount of sorry, “I won’t do it again,” or, “Other women and my mom made me this way,” should have sufficed for you to take him back. Sorry! I’m not buying that bull-ish. Once a man calls you out of your name, it’s time to chuck up the deuces and bounce. It’s a foreshadowing of what’s to come from him – emotional, mental, and physical abuse is around the corner. The next clue was his drinking. SMDH! Sorry, but a man who drinks to escape his problems is a man who is unstable and unworthy of your time and life. Why would you want to be in a relationship with a drunk? An alcoholic? Would you go to the corner and pick up a drunk man and move him into your house? Hell no! So, why would you continue to maintain a relationship with this man? I tell you that some of you women are so desperate to have a man you will do things that are detrimental to yourself, your family, and your well-being. It’s not worth it. No d**k is worth your sanity! And, the other clue is this man not having a job. Uhm, sweetie, why, oh why, would you put up with a man who has not held a job for six years? After the first six months, hell, the first three months, and he didn’t have a job he should have been put out of your house! If he can’t earn his own money, then he can’t eat. If he is not contributing to the household, then he can’t stay. You don’t pay any bills, then you are not using and running up the electricity, water, cable, phone, or any other bills. GET TO STEPPING! On top of it all you were paying his child support payments, and you supported him. Let me do some woo-sas! This man lied to you and manipulated you. He played into your low self-esteem, and the pity party you have about your weight. He made love to you and you fell for the ole okey-doke. This is the dangerous drug of what d**k does to some women. A man in between your legs whispering the things you want to hear makes you feel good about yourself. However, all the while he is lying and deceiving you. He didn’t tell you about his violent past. He didn’t tell you about his prison record, his destructive behaviors, his bipolar, and why he is the reason and problem for why his life is a mess! You are not the reason his life is the way it is. Stop feeling sorry for him, and tell his a** to man the hell up! So, change your numbers, locks on your home, and block this man out of your life. Move on, and be grateful that your job did you a huge favor and made you divorce this man. Be grateful that your job saved you and your children’s lives. Your job, and your ability to take care of yourself and your children, is far more important than this fool who tried to bring you down and destroy your life. And, you can always exercise and lose weight. You can always do things to change your physical appearance. It just takes some commitment, time, and love. And, in that love you work on you, heal yourself emotionally and mentally. You deserve better. Let his a** sleep in the park. That’s where low-life bums go when they don’t want to do anything but blame the world, and others, for their situation and problems. You are not his responsibility. Your responsibility is to you and your children. Believe that! – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Just another day in the way of Wade SMMFH. Dwyane Wade has worn many a suspect outfit over the past couple of years. Last night marked another milestone moment for the Miami Heat baller that left Twitter and Instagram asking a confused and collective “What the F**K is this ni**a wearing?!?!” Prior to game 4 of the Heat-Bulls playoff series in Chicago, the Windy City son was seen rockin’ a polka-dotted capri pants suit that might just get his Chi-Town pass revoked. Of course the Inside The NBA guys (Charles Barkley, Shaq, Kenny Smith, and Ernie Johnson) couldn’t let DWade slide without giving him a hard time. Chuck and the boys weren’t the only ones to toss their 2 pennies about Dwyane’s euro swag, hit the flipper to see who else got in on slander.
Who knew the voice of Charlie Brown could be capable of some ish like this? Charlie Brown Actor Gets Probation In Stalking Case According to TMZ The former voice of Charlie Brown was sentenced to 1 year in jail for stalking and threatening an ex-girlfriend and her plastic surgeon … but he’s getting off with time served. Peter Robbins was arrested back in January, pleaded guilty in April … and got slapped with the 365 day sentence in San Diego today. Thanks to an 8-month rehab program, and the 110 days he’s already done behind bars … he’ll avoid further jail time. Robbins — who voiced Chuck in “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” — got busted after threatening his ex and the surgeon who did her breast enhancement. Robbins also got 5 years probation, a 10-year order to “stay away” from the doc — and has to pay $15,081.90 in restitution to his ex. What a blockhead. Stalking? That doesn’t seem like something Charlie Brown would do. AP
Would you be baby crazy enough to make your hubby fawk ya mama ? We are big fans of the Showtime series “Shameless” but they almost pushed us too far in the last two episodes where we’ve been watching the Gallaghers neighbors Veronica and Kevin enlist her mom Carol to be their surrogate because Veronica’s tubes are all messed up from an STD she caught getting chopped down by a rapper. The couple initially tried to get Carol pregnant using Kevin’s seed via a turkey baster but when that didn’t work they resorted to the good ol’ fashioned biblical method. We’re a safe wholesome family oriented website around these parts so we can’t share the photos of the sordid methods they were forced to resort to, but we thought this might make a great topic of discussion because the subject is all too real for people who are not ECONOMICALLY THRIVING. Babies are expensive!!! If you’re not ballin’ enough for IVF or a paid surrogate, how far would you go to have a baby? And by the way, we would encourage you to not resort to stealing someone else’s from the hospital . Photo Credit:Chuck Hodes/SHOWTIME
Is it just us, or does Rashida look a couple shades darker in these shots? Back before Rashida Jones realized that being black is no fun , the actress and her older sister Kidada were profiled for the teen magazine “Sassy”. That profile was recently unearthed by our friends at BuzzFeed and we wanted to share some of the chuckle worthy outtakes from the interview with you. For example: “Kidada is a homegirl, and way relaxed… Rashida’s 15 and thinks meat is gross. She’s very chatty and funny and loves that classic, Euro-prep thing. Rashida and Kidada are sisters, and boy do they act it. You know, one minute they’re cruising down the high-way singing “Ya down with OPP yea, you know me…” at the top of their lungs. The next minute, Kidada is telling Rashida to shut up with a look that melt steel. The most comedy thing about this is the name of the article was “Nature Of A Sista!” Rashida been into that European isht since way back but as a 15-year-old she was a little bit down. The rest of the interview is about how “different” they are and how Sassy doesn’t usually cater to celebrity kids but the Jones girls are just so cool and down to earth the magazine struggled over whether to tell readers who their parents were. Check out some of the photos from the magazine on the flip and peep how much Rashida’s steez has changed!
‘The obvious point is that this young man lost his life from an unjust situation, and it needs to be hammered home,’ Chuck D tells CNN. By Rob Markman Trayvon Martin Photo: AP
Knowing that I’ve met my idol after years of supporting him means the world to me! We had around about a three hour car journey. It went SO slow, but it was all leading up to the most amazing day ever! We weren’t crying, we were just really happy and thinking “Is this a dream?!” As we arrived at the venue, we got a bit lost at first, but then we followed a few people, then we had arrived. We got in line to get our M&G package/wristbands but then we saw the merchandise table, so we went over and got loads of stuff. Then this American dude came over and started telling everyone with M&G’s to get into lines. If you paid, you got into one line, if you won them, you got to go into another line . At this point, it still hadn’t sunk in! After getting everything from VIP we felt like the luckiest girls in the world. Justin was late for the M&G so we didn’t know when he or the crew were in the building. After about 10 minutes of waiting, we saw Kenny! We didn’t want to move from our space, as we were near the front, but just seeing him made me the happiest girl. Then we started to walk down to the M&G room! We had to walk down about 6 flights of stairs before we reached the ground floor where Justin was! The M&G room was so different to what I expected! I expected it to be 1 huge long line, but the line was just like a snake. There was around 50 of us and about 200 who won them, so we all went in first. Before, when we collected our VIP lanyard, wristbands, they handed us a raffle ticket to win some of Justin’s things! They were reading a number out and it was exactly the same as mine, apart from the LAST NUMBER which was ‘4’, I was so close, I was number ‘5’. Then I realized that the winning ticket was my friend Sophie’s! Then as everyone was talking, Justin popped his head out of the curtain at said, “I’M HERE!” Everyone started screaming at that point! The American dude also started saying some more stuff about when we meet him, he also said about how they had to cut the ‘Meet and Greet’ wristband off, so we couldn’t sneak in again. All that was left to do now was wait. I had also put a voice recorder in my back pocket to record me meeting Justin. The queue started going down so fast! A man said to me, “Are you excited?!” I was like “YES!!!!” He then said, “Who are you with?” I replied, “By myself,” and he opened the curtain and I walked through. Justin was taking a picture with someone when I first walked in! I just started at him in amazement. It didn’t even look like him. He looked like a moving wax work, he was so perfect, it was unreal. I tried to drop my bag, but security was tight and said, “KEEP YOUR BAGS.” I just kept looking at Justin, I didn’t know whether I had to move forward at this point, but then security pushed me to move. I went and gave him the hugest hug ever! I tightly hugged him, then security got my back and tugged me a bit. I then took the picture with him! I’m so glad I hugged him and got a PICTURE! It was the most crazy thing ever and was the best moment of my life. As soon as I left the room, I burst into tears! My face was bright red, I looked a mess! I honestly couldn’t stop crying! I then waited for my friends Sophie and Becca to come out. We all started bawling our eyes out just thinking what happened to us. What more could you ask for?! When everyone had finished meeting him, we went into the place where the concert was held. We went to our seats and got a wristband since we were first row, to say that we could go anywhere next to the barrier! We had been planning where to stand for months now. Security told us off for standing up, since the concert hadn’t started, so we had to go to our seats and wait for the lights to go down! When we were waiting, we put some neon body paint on our face to make us stand out and glow. IT OBVIOUSLY WORKED! As soon as the lights went down, we RAN to our spaces to wait for Cody Simpson to get on-stage! Before he came on stage, Kenny Hamilton came on to introduce him. He also came on again to introduce Carly! I only knew one of Cody’s songs, so it was a bit awkward. He looked directly at me so many times! I was so happy! We waited for a little bit for Justin to come on stage and that’s when I got a picture with the tank-top Sophie had won. Then after other beliebers saw me with it, she had a queue lining up to take a picture with it (sorry, Sophie). During Carly’s performance, we saw Dan Kanter standing at the side for the stage. We were taking loads of pictures of Dan, and he smiled at us and pointed at Carly, who was on-stage at the time! I did feel bad for her, as we were making more of a fuss over Dan than her. We took Dan’s advice and we started dancing to Carly’s songs. When Carly went off stage we knew it was soon going to be time for Justin. The countdown came on! THE CROWD WENT CRAZY! When it got to 20 seconds, I literally burst into tears! He came on stage with his angel wings and he was so close. I could properly see his face and he looked directly at me! I couldn’t stop crying throughout the show! We also saw Scrappy and Alfredo at one point on the side of the stage. At the end, I caught loads of confetti and put it into my bag , I have mountain-loads now! I can’t forget to mention that I also aw Justin shirtless in front of me. At the end of the night, Dan came on stage just before we were about to leave and chucked some guitar picks! It was a crazy experience! I love you Justin and you have completed my life. You have made my dreams come true, and most importantly, you made me NEVER SAY NEVER & BELIEVE! -@ BieberJiebers View post: Knowing that I’ve met my idol after years of supporting…
