Will and Jada’s open relationship: Is Cheatin’ the New Black?

 So, I am a little late..blah blah. I just read that Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s marriage of 11 years is “open” what the hell does that mean? Since when did a marriage become a DMV line. “Now servicing customer 69″.

Will Smith recently reported he and Jada “talk” about having sex with other people. He reports “Our perspective is, you don’t avoid what’s natural and you’re going to be attracted to people. “And if it came down to it, then one would say to the other: ‘Look, I need to have sex with somebody. Now, I’m not going to if you don’t approve of it’.”

Smith suggested that his marriage would survive a permitted affair because of his and wife Jada’s honesty. ‘In our marriage vows, we didn’t say “forsaking all others”. We said, “You will never hear I did something afterwards”. Because if that happens, the relationship is destroyed.’
But Will’s not sure what he’d do if one day Jada, 38, confides that she does want to take a lover.‘I don’t know how I’d feel,’ he confesses. ‘But I know I would react better than if I found out about it afterwards.’

I was blown away by this article and it seems that the Smiths have found an easy way to cheat on each other. What happened to marriage vows. I didn’t pledge to love you , Andre, Scott, and Jamal.

I was also listening to a radio program tonight. The question was is a man/woman still a good man/woman if they are a cheater? Woman after woman called in and said they had good men because they paid bills and took care of children and infidelity could be forgiven. I almost threw my radio while listening to these comments. This seemed to me just like what Jada is allowing in her relationship.

Not one man who called in during the show stated they would be able to tolerate a cheating woman. Will is giving all these scenarios about how he likes his open relationship. When provided with the same prospect he, like the men on the radio show, got to stuttering and sputtering.

How is the black family going to survive when notable figures endorse cheating like an underwear ad? If Will and Jada can do it…it must be right. Grow up folks, cheatin is cheatin whether you are dating or married. If you cheat you don’t respect the person you claim to love. If you need to cheat, doesn’t this mean you were never compatible in the first place?

Why is it that a man can’t forgive cheatin or but women allow it b/c the man is a provider. Isn’t that an oxymoron? I call bullsh*t.

Men what do you think?

Ladies chime in.
