Dear Bossip , I truly and extremely enjoy your advice. You’re honest, sometimes brutally honest, but I love and respect that. I’ve been married to my husband for two years. He’s got 3 older kids with his ex. We have one toddler and another on the way. This is the first marriage for both of us. I always dreamed my first marriage would be my only marriage because of my Christian beliefs, but now not so much. To make a long story short, after we found out I was pregnant, he was happy, but then arguments came. In my 1 st trimester he told me to get an abortion during every argument, which was about 7 times. I said very, very ugly things as well (i.e. deadbeat, bum, bish, etc). Then I broke my own cardinal rule after he started putting his phone on vibrate at night and I went through it. I found what I knew would be there, and so I stopped having sex with him and moved out. My final straw is the ex recently got out of jail and we’ve had altercations, and in one argument he stated he’s going back to his real family (they were never married or engaged). She also texts/calls him begging for sex, and for them to get back together. He says he ignores her. I don’t believe him and I don’t feel ignoring certain actions are good enough. I’ve filed for divorce. In the midst of all of this are the apologies from him and the promises to do better, and that he will not maliciously hurt me again. But, as you can see he kept doing it. He says he loves me (eye roll), but I don’t see it. Everyone that I’ve tried to talk to about this says I’m the bad guy and I shouldn’t give up and abandon him. Marriage isn’t good overnight, etc, etc. I do not agree with any of these people and I just want an unbiased opinion and to make sure I’m not crazy. Oh yeah, he also has never helped me with any bills that are mine, and before I stopped letting him use my car he would run out all my gas and only put back $20 worth. I’m no saint, but I have done right by him and I respect my marriage vows. I don’t talk to other men or my exes who still try to keep in contact. My past doesn’t affect him, so why do I have to deal with his? His ex has done/is doing ratchet stuff and it’s too much to name. He says get over it and let’s start over. I forgive him, but I don’t feel like I’m supposed to pretend to forget words that can never be taken back. Please help. – Husband’s A Jerk, Now What Dear Ms. Husband’s A Jerk, Now What , So, you married a man who has 3 other kids from another woman, and, for obvious reasons, they have to remain in communication/contact with one another (I digress), but, she’s asking for more, ANNNNNNNNDDDDDD, you went through his phone and discovered lawd knows what (you didn’t say what you discovered), he’s said to you on numerous occasions that you should abort his child that you are currently carrying, ANNNNNNNDDDDDDDD in an argument he’s said to you that he’s going back to his real family. Hmmmmm, why didn’t you pack his bags and help him move? If he’s so miserable and unhappy with you, and thinks he’s better off with his ex, then let him go. If he wants you to abort your child, and I’m certain it’s because the other 3 he has with his baby momma are kicking his butt in child support, then let him know (this is where you hold up your hand) that he now has 5 kids he’s responsible for. So, take his narrow ass and get a second job, and step up to the plate and take care of his responsibilities. But, let’s reflect on your letter. The issues with your marriage are several things which include miscommunication, disloyalty, mistrust, money, and unresolved issues with his baby momma. And, those key elements make a marriage, and unfortunately I wouldn’t say that you have a marriage. You’re just two people living together, and going through the motions of relationship drama like every other couple. You’re acting like little ass kids with one another and both of you are stomping your feet and pouting trying to get your points across. Instead of communicating with one another, like grown adults do, he’s trying to belittle and demean you with his tactic of spewing hateful things, and you up the ante with your name-calling trying to belittle and demean him. Each of you is trying to outdo the other. And, at the end of the day, what is this proving? What have you two accomplished? Yeah, just as I figured, not a damn thing! This is what I want you to do: Sit down with him and ask him what is a marriage? Ask him to describe it, and what it looks like. And, I want you to do the same thing. Let him know what your idea or thoughts are about marriage, what it looks like, and your expectations. And, it’s imperative that you listen to one another because arguing and trying to prove a point doesn’t work between you two. So, listen and if his definitions, expectations, and outlook on marriage are not your definition, expectations, and outlook, then you will have your answer. But, I want to know why didn’t you two go through marriage counseling before getting married? This would have resolved all of those issues before you walked down the aisle, and I’m quite certain that you wouldn’t have made it down the aisle if your husband hadn’t resolved the issues with his baby momma, his exes that he remains in contact with, and his need to demean and belittle you. So, why are you putting up with it now? Why would allow yourself to be made to feel less than, and from the man who is supposed to make you his queen, his woman that he protects, uplifts, and celebrates? I don’t believe in being with someone who is going to talk negatively about me or to me. That is a no-no! If you feel the need to call me out of my name, talk to me like I’m some damn child, and demean or belittle me, then you can sit there and talk to your own damn fool self. I’m out! DUECES! So, get into some couples therapy and speak with a marriage counselor. The root cause of your marriage is some unresolved issues that neither of you are putting on the table, and one of them happens to be his baby momma. If you don’t want her in your marriage, or your husband communicating with her other than to talk about his kids, then you’ve got to let him handle that with her. You knew what you were getting before you got married. So, that issue should have been resolved from the beginning. Now, he’s got to take care of business and put things in check. You and her are not going to be on the same page, and she definitely is not going to respect you and your marriage. She made that obviously known. So, your husband has got to get his damn balls out of his stomach, and be a man and let her know what’s what! And, hopefully you two can work out the other issues of communication, loyalty, money, and trust through marriage counseling. Don’t be afraid to open up and speak your mind. But, do it lovingly, and with an open heart. Don’t give up so easily on the marriage, not until you’ve exhausted all the resources. Besides, you did state that your first marriage would be your only marriage. Then work it out! – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Black girls rock, in every country in the world! Mbathio Beye has been crowned the first Miss Black France France has a new queen–beauty queen that is. Mbathio Beye has been crowned the first “Miss Black France” But there was a lot of hoopla surrounding the pageant, so we’re surprised it even took place. According to the pageant’s organizer Frédéric Royer, the goal of the event was to “celebrate black beauty,” and “to shine a light on the many Black women in this country who are rarely given any media attention.” Yet the last time woman of color to took home the “Miss France” title was only three years ago in 2009 when Chloé Mortaud won—a biracial woman of African American and French descent. Protesters have called the “Miss Black France” pageant “stupid,” “dangerous” and “hostile.” Even the founder and president of the French Representative Council of Black Associations (CRAN), Patrick Lozes, said the pageant is hardly “progressive.” But despite these strong sentiments the pageant commenced and crowned it’s queen. Beye was officially named the first “Miss Black France” Saturday night in Paris, after being selected from a pool of 1,000 applicants and ultimately competing amongst 17 other finalists. Beye, 21, hails from Senegal and is a marketing student. Damn, where is the love??? You would think that an event celebrating Black beauty that there would a little more support from a group like CRAN. Source More On Bossip! Secret Loooovers!

In addition to alien-vs.-soldier action, the film has a softer side, as our exclusive clip shows. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Amy Wilkinson Taylor Kitsch in “Battleship” Photo: Universal Pictures “Fire all the weapons!” Liam Neeson yells in the first “Battleship” trailer , a command dutifully followed by a young naval officer in the film but one that failed to trigger the dude-I-gotta-see-this-movie jones of many moviegoers. But we had a feeling a lot of folks were missing the point of both the popcorn flick’s whiz-bang alien-vs.-soldier brawling and the sun-dappled human-on-human seduction giving “Battleship” its warm, gooey center. The film is perfectly constructed to fill the “Transformers”-sized hole in the summer movie calendar. Audiences overseas are already responding, shelling out $58 million to check it out since the April 11 foreign release. Our turn comes on May 18. Before then, and having seen the CGI-heavy theatrics in “Battleship” trailers, it’s time to take a look at the film’s softer side. That’s where MTV News’ Summer Movie Preview comes into play, delivering an exclusive clip featuring Taylor Kitsch and his bodacious birthday wish, Brooklyn Decker. The scene in the clip comes early in the film, with Kitsch’s unemployed slacker, Alex Hopper, sharing a sad-sack birthday party in a dingy bar with his brother, Stone (Alexander Skarsg

Dear Bossip , I have been in a relationship with my son’s father for 6 years. I love him very much and am thankful he is not deadbeat father. But, I cannot say he is great boyfriend. Terrance, this man asked me to marry him when our son was 6 months old, and of course I said yes. Six months later, I forgot my ring at home because I was running late for work, and I come home to, “I sold your ring, but I’ll get you a new one.” Mind you, he did it to pay the rent. But, I’m bitter as hell he did it without even telling me, and on top of that he hasn’t gotten me a new one, and we still haven’t gotten married. A year later, we sat down and agreed we shouldn’t get married because I was having second thoughts, due to me finding out he had been sexting some old ass woman he had met at a bar when he was out with his best friend, AND, because we really weren’t getting along. We worked through that, and we’re in a much better place right now. He says he wants to get married, and after a lot of miscommunication, partly because of my post-partum depression and his not understanding what I needed from him. But, I’m afraid he’s only telling me that to appease me. I don’t even know if I want to go through with it because he’s done so much shady stuff that I feel like even though we’re doing so much better. If he wanted to marry me, he should’ve gone through so much more to go ahead and get me another ring and set a date. My question is should I bring it up (even just thinking about it is embarrassing to me, almost like I’m being needy) or just let it ride out? Am I wrong for being mad as hell he took my ring and hasn’t replaced it? Is it wrong that every time I see a woman with a ring it makes me feel so got damn bitter? Because Lord knows I deserve a got damn ring, BOTH an engagement and a wedding band. Should I even stay with him? How do I know he ain’t playing me anymore?- Confused And In Love Dear Ms. Confused And In Love , Dead! Dead! Dead! Dead! The man took your engagement ring, without your knowledge, and sold it to pay the rent. Girl, I’m done! I can’t! Not today! LMBAO! As soon as he fixed his mouth to say, “I sold your ring…” WHOP! WHOP! WHOP! Upside his head with a damn hammer! Then you should have kicked him in his damn nuts. “The hell you mean you sold my damn engagement ring!!” WHOP! WHOP! WHOP! Then, this fool hasn’t replaced it in 6 YEARS!!??!!! And, you’re still sitting your hopeful-one-day-he’ll-get-me-a-replacement ass over there waiting!?! What color is your helmet? Chile, you are better than me! The next day he would have been up in Jacob The Jeweler ordering a rare precious stone that they can only find in Africa. And, once it was rushed ordered (yes, rush ordered), and he flew me to Paris to propose on top of the Eiffel Tower, I would have given him another WHOP! upside his damn head to remind him to never, ever, ever, ever play with me like that. I’m sorry, ma’am, but 6 years later and you’re still waiting on him to get you another ring? You’re the damn donkey. Why would he marry you now when you’re living as a married couple? You’re giving him everything without any repercussions or reason to want to get married to you. SMDH! I don’t understand you people. I really don’t. I swear something has retarded your damn brains. Then, you ask me if it’s wrong that you’re mad that he took your ring and hasn’t replaced it in 6 years. YES, YOU SHOULD BE MAD! RAGING MAD! STORMING MAD! VIOLENTLY MAD! He took the very ring that symbolizes his love and commitment to you and sold it. Basically, he took his proposal back, and said “F” you. You ain’t worth it. You ain’t nothing. And, you’ll sit your comfortable ass over there and wait until I get you another damn ring, when I get good and ready! As a matter of fact, you ain’t getting –ish! But, let me ask you this: You say that you deserve a damn ring. Really? You deserve a ring. Why? Why should he go out and get you another ring? Oh, is it because he sold the first one and he owes you? Is it because you have been waiting on him to make up for the past 6 years he has had you in limbo? Is it because you bore him a son, and you provide a loving home for him, with a warm cooked meal every day, and you clean up after him, and do all the “wifey” things, yet, you don’t have a ring on your finger? And, who’s fault is that? You’re both partly the blame. Your dumbass is at fault for sitting and waiting for 6 years to past without saying or doing anything about it. Your dumbass is at fault for letting him get away with that bull-ish the first time. Your dumbass is at fault for making it too damn easy for him, and playing house with him without a ring or commitment to marriage. Then, on top of it all, a year later YOUR MAN was caught sexting some other woman he met at a bar, and you didn’t boil some water with some grits? (Rocks back and forth in my chair and sits on my hands to prevent myself from reaching through this damn screen and slapping you in your damn face!) I ain’t one to speculate, but, err uhm, your man is not to be trusted, EVER! Based on him taking your ring and selling it without your knowledge, and then you catch him sexting another woman, uhm, ma’am, you need to get yourself together and move on, quickly. I wouldn’t wait another year, month, day, hour, minute, or second for him to get it together. And, what the hell are you talking about, “Should you ride it out?” Please, sweet Jesus, I can’t do it! A man doesn’t make the woman he loves and wants to be with for the rest of his life wait for 6 years to get married. A man doesn’t take his woman’s engagement ring, without her knowledge, or discussing it with her, and sells it. A man doesn’t promise his woman something, especially an engagement, with no engagement ring. A man doesn’t propose marriage, and put your ass on installment for 6 years, while he contemplates if he is going to ever marry you. And, sweetie, you shouldn’t sit and wait another 6 seconds for him. But, when he walks through that door this evening, and he still doesn’t have a ring, then you politely tell him that he has 6 minutes to grab whatever he can and get the hell out because his installment plan has just been revoked, and you don’t do layaways.
