Thank You, Next

So Khloe Kardashian is out here posting 'inspirational quotes' about betrayal and being strong in the face of it, Jordyn Woods is out here going to the Red Table for heaven's sake, to 'tell her side'.
Which personally is, I think, an abuse of the Red Table - it's not meant for gossip and fake redemption.
Meanwhile, Tristan Thompson has moved on to the next one.
Khloe by now should be over it. Seriously she went through years of emotional abuse with Lamar Odom, and then she kind of held Tristan hostage, and now she's all wallowing in victimhood.
It's sad.
I mean, first of all, did Tristan even want  her to move to Cleveland? My head canon says they dated for a while, and he maybe used to come home every night, and to Khloe, that's her standard for true love. So she kind of glommed onto him; meanwhile this twenty-six year old was not looking for that kind of commitment.
Before he knew it, he was living with her, and she's talking about 'forever'.
She was.
He never said a word.
Then she was pregnant.
I mean, judging by his patterns with his former baby mamas, this is the point at which Tristan Thompson makes tracks. But you can't just leave a Kardashian, can you? Have you ever seen anyone actually break up with them? They do all the breaking up. Isn't that a little weird?
Anyways.
So Khloe's pregnant and despite the fact that they can't break up, Tristan sticks to his patterns and moves on to the next one(s). TMZ does its thing and catches him. And Khloe does her thing and clings to him like a limpet.
Tristan is now officially in a hostage situation. He's locked into this relationship he probably outgrew several f**ks ago, with a woman and her family who have locked him in but keep him in the doghouse. If you want to know he wasn't the slightest bit remorseful, the fact that he was blocking her family and friends left and right rather than sitting in their judgement is all the clue you need.
Compare him to Kiari Cephas a.k.a Offset who was not only ready to take Cardi's judgement, that of her family but also random people on the inanetz who took it upon themselves to judge him for his actions and project their own hurt and pain onto him - since he was at least remorseful and their significant others were not.
So in front of God and random strangers, Tristan Thompson makes out with Jordyn Woods.
There's no coming back from that is there.
Probably much to his relief.
I don't know why Khloe even bothers with the whole, "How could he?" act.
How could he not? You sold yourself so cheap sister. He probably thinks he can come back at any time should he feel like it.
And the saddest part is, he probably can.
I see people like that and I wonder what it is that makes them not want more for themselves. I want to send them copies of Child of Destiny. Perhaps they can learn from Mya that yeah, mistakes can be made but redemption takes action, and not words.

We Teach Women to Make Themselves Small...

There's a story going around social media about gospel artists infecting random women with an STD and trying to have threesomes. Of course there are two types of reactions, both of them wrong. One hand, people are titillated and elated at having these people 'exposed' while the "christian fraternity" is all about "they're sorry, forgive them, they're just human."
One of the gospel artists apologized to his girlfriend because she's 'endured' him for so long, and he's sorry for hurting her feelings.
My question is, why are so many men content to be endured?
I mean, if I am in a relationship - of any kind, be it sexual, familial, friendship - with someone, and they are simply enduring me, I would absolutely not be able to stand it. I would remove myself from that relationship because life is too short to be suffered like a disease.
So how come men practically revel in the chance to be suffered by women? Is it a form of misogyny? Or do they just not know any better? Do we just not know how relationships are supposed to work? These are important questions.
What has this got to do with a Muslim Arranged Marriage story named Cinderella By Any Other Name, you ask?
I could tell you but then what would be the use of writing a story if you're gonna give the plot away?
That would be kinda stupid no?
Are you excited for February 14th? I kind of am.
