The W.I.F.E on The View giving tips!

Hello everyone! Well I made it to ABC, LOL!!!! Well kind of. I was on The View today. This is one of my favorite shows outside of The Game, Oprah & Gossip Girl (yes, I love Chuck Bass and Dan!!). I entered a contest given by The View a few weeks back. You were supposed to send in a 30 second clip Mom's Tip video that helps you cut corners on certain things. The winner would win a trip to New York to share her tip. Well, I didn't win but I received a call last week that said they (The View) really liked my video and wanted to share it on their show! I was so excited as you could imagine. I said, "Of course you can!" I had to sign a release and wha-laaa! They showed my clip today. I hope you enjoy the clip and the tip.

The Natural Hair Show - Atlanta 2011

The Natural Hair Show stopped by Atlanta this past weekend, April 30th and May 1st. It was such a good show. This was the 3rd year I attended and it has gotten bigger and better every year. It's really amazing at how its grown and how many natural products are out there for the skin and hair. I really believe this show is going to give the famous Bronner Brothers Hair Show some major competition in the years to come.

I went my friend, Precious and Cynthia and we were really overwhelmed. With all that said, we really just came to get one product, Jane Carter. I love her product line but it is EXPENSIVE! She is sold in Target and Whole foods and in those stores what you will spend $20 on, you can get at the shows for $5!!! So I only stock up on Jane at the show! This year her best seller appeared to be her redefining curl cream! It's a new product that all the girls are going crazy over. Its $35 in the store but was $15 at the show and she sold out in the first 3 hours!!!! But she still let you order it and she would ship it to you for the same price. People were getting two and three jars. I have tried samples of this and I must say, I like how it makes my hair look. The curls are defined and just pop.

In my closing, I will advise you to visit the show if it comes to your town. I didn't know so many women are kicking the relaxer "creamy crack!" and going back to their roots. It was so many women in beautiful natural styles, we couldn't stop staring. I did buy some products for my children's hair even though I make my daughters leave-in, I wanted to see if their claims are true. I brought 3 different Taliah Waajid children's (3 for 10) products which are normally $8 each. So far, so good with the product I have tried on my son's hair. My daughter has braids currently, so I will be trying the products on her this weekend when I take her hair down.

Thanks for reading and sharing!

When is it the end of a friendship?

Have you ever had a friend and you were super close and all of a sudden things just changed? If you really examine the friendship, most likely things didn't just happen. It was probably slowly changing and you didn't catch it. Have you ever had a best friend one day and the next day you two were just cool. You two don't call each other like you used to or hang out like you used to. You see her name on the caller id and don't answer. She has an event or party and for whatever reason, to you it's not important enough to go. You try to communicate to each other and it's still just not clicking. The sad part is that neither one of you did anything horrible to each other. Neither one of you lied or stole from one another, but for whatever reason the friendship just went down hill. Has that ever happened? What did you do? Do you just let the friendship go? Do you try to really restore it? Is it the "People are in your life for season, reason, or lifetime" line that people love to say? Just a thought.

If it's worth saving, I think it would be a good idea to sit down and communicate. Neither one might not really know what the other is personally going through. And sometimes when you are going through personal issues, your actions are different. You sometimes say things you don't really mean or do things you might not actually do if your circumstances were different. If it's not worth saving............I guess that response is up to you.

It not you! It's her I don't trust!

Funny. I was watching Tyler Perry's Meet the Browns tonight and Sasha's mother-in-law brought her husband's ex-fiancé over to see her son (Sasha's husband). She was going out to dinner with her son and invited his ex to attend! His wife (Sasha) had to go to work. Sasha asked him (really demanded) not to go because she trust him, but she doesn't trust her (the ex). What the wife didn't know was that her mother-in-law invited the ex because she felt her son was unhappy in his marriage. And the Ex didn't know that HE was actually happy in his marriage.

It just made me giggle when she said "It's her I don't trust!" Some women are so quick to think every EX wants their man, when sometimes that could be farther from the truth AND sometimes they need NOT trust their man. Some women are so quick to give their man the benefit of the doubt when SOMETIMES he just doesn't deserve it. Sometimes it is the hubby calling the ex, texting the ex, emailing the ex! But when they get close to getting caught - BLAME the ex! And we are like "I trust you boo! I know she still want you!" Are you really sure?

All I am saying is, its not always the ex going after your man. In the end of this episode, they all figured out that the mother set them all up. Oh! One more interesting tidbit. The wife asked him not to go out with the ex and his mom to dinner, and he said "He's grown and its just dinner!" And he went. Leaving the Wife with her mouth open. I don't think that would happen in real life. Ummm maybe.

WIFE was never intended to be JUST a blog! (Please read)

I know it has been a while since I have blogged. I have really been thinking about alot. I have been thinking about life, my blog, WIFE and other goals. I have been really trying to decide in what direction I want to take WIFE and execute it.

WIFE was never intended to be a blog. It was always supposed to be a support group for married women. A support group where we meet once a month or at least twice a month. My vision/goal for WIFE is an organization that supports the dreams and desires of married women. I want WIFE to be a safe haven. A place where they can relax, relate, and release the cares of wifehood, motherhood and life. A place where women can get support and assistance on goals, and assistance when their funds are low!

I started the blog until I could get the actual support group up and running. But I believe I had gotten used to the blog and didn't focus on the actual in-person group as much. I was reminded on multiple occasions, through conversations, actions, and time with God about why WIFE was created in the first place.

I will be officially starting the WIFE support group soon. I will be having an initial meeting later this month with potential board members and will plan to have the first actual meeting in May. I will still do topics on the blog (so please still read and share the site), but as the WIFE Support Group evolves, so will the blog. I welcome your ideas as well.

Thanks for your support on this blog, facebook, youtube, and via email. I am excited to see how WIFE evolves into the ultimate WIFE support group.

My Vision Board

Do you have one? I heard about doing a vision board years ago when the book The Secret came out. I never read the book but recently watch the 1 hour video. The Secret is basically about the power of positive thinking and has so many bible principles in the movie, I can imagine what the book says. So many people say "Write your goals!" Well, I decided to do a vision board so I can see my goals daily in my face.

What is your vision for your life? I am not sure how clearly you can see my board but I have tried to cover all my bases. In the top center it says, that "It's all about being Happily Married!" I do not want a divorce but I want my marriage to get better with time. I want our best days to always be in front of us. In the center, I have a picture of my children and visions I have for them. Visions of success, multiple languages, meeting their soulmates, involved in their community, never struggle and more.
I have a section where it talks about my businesses being successful. A section about me losing this last 10 pounds! On the left side its all about dreams. I envision myself on the cover of magazines, meeting Oprah, the President and First Lady (The Obama's), the cast of the game (hey! This is my vision), and more. I envision my own tv show and actually co-hosting The View! Monthly spas treatment and family vacations at least 3 times a year. I have my spiritual visions as well. I want to be holy and righteous in the sight of my Lord. That means continuing to live with integrity and really try to always do the right thing.

I have visions on this board for my husband and his business. My family as well. I want our relationship to be closer. So I have just about thought about everything and what I missed, I will put it on the board when it comes to mind.

I challenge you to do a vision board or just write your goals down. Again what is your vision for your life? Happy dreaming, happy planning.

PoLateaz Atlanta

I had an opportunity to go to PoLateaz Atlanta this weekend and had a blast. I had heard so many cool things about this place and was excited to see what all the hype was about. PoleLaTeaz is Atlanta's premier studio for pole dance classes, exotic dance classes, lap dance classes, striptease workshops and sensual dance! It's a workout you won't forget.

The mission of PoleLaTeaz is to offer women of all ages a unique form of exercise dedicated to strengthening and toning their bodies while unleashing their inner goddess in a safe, fun and encouraging environment. Our instructor was so friendly, down to earth and definitely knew what she was doing. Unfortunately we didn't learn anything dealing with the pole that night. We learned a sensual lollipop chair dance and it was a blast!

At PoleLaTeaz you can have birthday parties, girls night out or take classes for your own reasons. It was my first time there and may be planning another girls night out real soon.

A Threesome? What! Maybe.

I watched this week's episode of BET's The Game starring Tia Mowery and Pooch Hall. It was a very interesting episode and one that I wasn't ready for. She actually let the peer pressure of her friends sway her into attempting to do a threesome with her husband. Some how she felt she may not be freaky enough and she wanted to add some spice. She went to the club and met a young lady and invited her to her home. Of course the girl was willing, Derwin if FIONE! But when the moment of truth came, she couldn't do it. She even said, she thought she was progressive and new age but apparently not ready to go that far. Derwin (Pooch's character) didn't even know another woman was in the room, because he was blindfolded and the other woman was kicked out before he even got a chance to see her. What was so funny to me was how Melanie let the other woman kiss on Derwin and he really liked it. He even said when Melanie started kissing on him, "Do it like you did a few minutes ago! I like that better! You've been practicing!" He didn't know another woman was doing that.

I could not take my eyes off the show. They actually did something I wasn't expecting and that was let the girl leave before Derwin even knew. I wonder what he would have said. Have you ever had a threesome with your husband? To each their own but I believe that opens up a whole new can of worms that sometimes you can't take back. Take the show for instance, what if you let another woman in your bed and she makes your man feel better than you do with all your might! Then comes insecurity and maybe even jealousy. Or maybe not.

It's just interesting out of all the things she could have tried first to get more kinky, she goes straight to adding another woman in the mix. What about toys, role playing, and movies ;)? I am glad she had a change of heart. That girl went in to kiss him and she felt her stomach drop! I did too Melanie! I did too! Derwin is ours! LOL (my celebrity crush!) But all jokes aside, would you do a threesome? Or have you? Was it fun? :)

Why Isnt Forever Easy

Whew! What a weekend.

I had a very long week (last week) & weekend. My children were out of school last week because of Winter Break, in which I totally don't agree with by the way. We took our children to Tennessee to spend time with my grandmother for the week. She wanted to see them. So all week, the hubby and I were alone. I did get some good sleep and was able to get some things done around the house. Well last week, I got a new job! I have been hired as a designer for an Atlanta based magazine that focuses on Businesses, Fashion, Travel, and Restaurants. I met with the creator of the magazine last Tuesday and was hired after the interview! This must be the week of first because I have a few other friends starting new jobs or new things. I actually start tomorrow. The cool part about the job is that I will be able to design from home and go in the office when I need to. I will be able to be apart of the entire production of the magazine and not just the graphic design aspect. The magazine is multicultural and I look forward to all the great things that could come from this experience!

OK! Back to my weekend. Thursday night, my husband and I had a business meeting and didn't get home until around 11pm. We got up and I took him to work (he left his car at work the night before) and I went to my first interview/photo shoot with the magazine I now work with. After that, I drove to Tennessee with my mother to pick up my babies! They were so happy to see me! I jumped high and so did they! We ended up spending the night because my granny wanted me to take her around shopping and spend the night. So Saturday morning, we went out to breakfast and back to Georgia. My children had a birthday party to attend at 2pm and then family movie night at my church at 5pm. We watched The Ruby Bridges Story, which was a good discussion movie. My children's Godparents watched them as we went to a surprise party for a client of my husband around 8pm. That was actually fun too because my husband doesn't dance and I will get on the floor in a quick minute. He saw that I really wanted to dance and everyone was coupled up, so he grabbed me and gave me 3 songs. That was so sweet of him.  After we picked up our children and made it home for bath and bed it was after midnight!

Sunday, after church we went to grab a bite and I was off to my Mocha Mom general business meeting. I took my daughter with me so my husband and son could do some yard work. After the meeting, we went to the grocery store and my daughter couldn't make it to the bathroom in time and ended up using the bathroom on herself right in front of the toilet. We both were standing there looking at each other. I was able to get her home and cleaned up, and proceeded to braid her hair for the week. I cooked shrimp & scallop pasta with sauteed mushrooms and tomatoes in a cheese Alfredo sauce. It was GOOOOD! Then I unpacked all our bags, put up the clean clothes and ......................... that's enough. I am tired just writing this. My husband was doing whatever it was he was doing. I was just focused on my household goals because I knew this week is going to be an adjustment for me.

Have a great week.

Where would you be TODAY if you didn't have children?

What if you didn't have children and it's still February 24, 2011, where would you be today? Would you still be married to your husband? Would you still be living where you are living, working where you are working? Would you have a different passion or dream? Or would your life be exactly the same? This post is not to say you regret having children. I am sure we all LOVE our children and feel blessed that we are mothers, but I am asking a "What If ?" question. What if you didn't have the little bundles of joy, would your life be that different?

I know my life would be different. I had a cross road in my college life where I changed my major my sophomore year. I was originally a Communications major because I wanted to be on TV. I wanted to be in broadcasting. And honestly, I still do. I did some bad research on pay and thought they don't get paid diddly squat and changed my major to Marketing. I wanted to change it to Advertising but my college, Alabama State University, didn't have Advertising. I regret changing my major, because I know better now and believe my life would have been completely different career wise. Don't get me wrong, I love marketing too. I am actually good at it. I even went beyond college and was educated in design and I am a certified Art Director. But in my heart, I still have a passion for the camera. And if I didn't have children, I would have followed that dream more. The good thing about life is that you can still follow your dreams, children or not, BUT being a good wife and good parent comes with sacrifices you don't think about before they come into the picture. Sometimes our dreams are delayed years, but if you have a supportive husband and strong desire to make them a reality - you can still definitely do what you so desire.

Where would you be TODAY if you didn't have children? I guess, I would be working for a TV network and  I would have traveled the world more.

The Adjustment Bureau - Movie Review

Last night my husband and I were given a chance to see an advanced screening of The Adjustment Bureau. It's the new movie starring Matt Damon, Emily Blunt and Anthony Mackie. The movie is being promoted by Liquid Soul Media. I had no idea what this movie was about but really just hoped it was going to be good.

I am very glad we went because my husband and I both enjoyed the movie. From the consensus of the theater, so did everyone else. After the movie Anthony Mackie answered questions for about 30 minutes about the movie and himself. The movie is about choices you make or you think you make. I really don't want to give it away but it is a cross between being spiritual and really wondering what else is out there. It also makes you think about choices you make in love and how being with a certain person can seriously make you or brake you. Is love worth it? If you knew you would be the greatest person in your area of talent but would just a neighborhood teacher of that talent if you stayed with a certain person, what would you do? Is love everything? I really enjoy movies that make you think and that is exactly what this does. The movie has a strong reference to God and Angels but they call God - The Captain. The Angels are the adjusters. The entire job is to make sure you stay on track and when you don't, that is when they step in. Whether they need to adjust your thought pattern, love or career path, they are always around. It was funny and well as heart clenching. I would see it with your love.

If you knew you would be the greatest person in your area of talent but would just a neighborhood teacher of that talent if you stayed with a certain person, what would you do?

All good business women need a Pre-nuptial agreement!

The title of today's blog was a comment that was given by the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Phadrea. Phadrea is a well known attorney in the Atlanta area and commented that she has a pre-nup and all good business women should. Cynthia (another castmate) who recently got married on the show also has one.

Do you feel its necessary to get a pre-nuptial agreement in 2011. Personally, I do. Especially if you are a celebrity or very wealthy. I say that because for some reason celebrity marriages have a 2-5 year shelf life no matter how much in love the couple starts out to be. And a good friend made a great comment, "I would not want to sell inherited land just to pay you half!" If you get divorced, what was acquired during the marriage should definitely be split, but if I had it before the marriage (money, land, assets) I wouldn't want to just give that over freely if we didn't work out.

Do I have a pre-nup? Ummm, no. It really didn't cross my mind because at the time I was young and didn't have really major assets. I did have a rental property but my soon to be husband was a realtor so I knew we would acquire more properties together. Honestly, when we got married, we didn't have much to get a pre-nup for!! So if the unthinkable ever does happen, I am going for half to be fair because we would have built this empire together. But, I am really not trying to get divorced.

One last thing, I do not believe getting a pre-nuptial agreement is saying you are expecting your marriage to fail. I believe its saying that in a society where 50% or more of marriages now end in divorce - you are protecting yourself against the odds. Just my thoughts, feel free to share your own.

First Lady Michelle Obama Visit Atlanta!! Speaking against childhood obesity!

By Kristina Torres and Gracie Bonds Staples / The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Photo by Phil Skinner First lady Michelle Obama made Georgia her prime stop Wednesday to celebrate the first anniversary of her "Let's Move" campaign aimed at improving children's health. 


"It's a conversation about what our kids eat and how active they are," Obama told parents and community leaders at North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, one of two stops she made in metro Atlanta. "About how they feel about themselves. And about what that means, not just their physical and emotional health, but for their success in school and in life."Obama's trip to Georgia was not accidental. Georgia has the second-highest rate of childhood obesity in the United States. Nearly one in three children ages 10 to 17 in Georgia are considered to be overweight or obese, according to the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health, likely because of a combination of poor nutrition and lack of physical activity, and influenced by societal factors including family dynamics, school systems and societal norms. In turn, childhood obesity can lead to diabetes, high cholesterol and other potentially deadly problems.

What do you think about childhood obesity? Is it the schools fault or is it the parents fault? It's definitely not the child's fault. They eat what they given to eat. It is our responsibility as a parent to make sure our children are eating healthy. I understand that healthy food is not cheap. I understand that sometimes healthy food is not the quickest thing to make, but that's still an excuse. Does that mean you should always give your child hamburgers and french fries because that's what is in the neighborhood? I really believe where there is a will, there is a way. And just like you pick up a bag of processed chips, you could choose to pick up bananas. Your choice. It's so much better to prevent a problem rather than trying to solve it once it happens! Make healthy choices for your entire family.


To that end, Obama unveiled a public service campaign to provide parents and families information on healthy food and physical activity. She spent the early afternoon at Atlanta Public School's Burgess-Peterson Academy handing out snacks of fresh blueberries and touring the East Atlanta school's organic garden.

Jumpoffs GONE WILD! Why do Men feel the need to even have a jumpoff?

I read different media outlets from time to time and it never fails that it's at least one story about a jumpoff "mistress" ready to tell it all. Why do men need a jumpoff anyway? It seems that more and more Celebrity Jumpoffs are willing to tell everything that happen between them and their celebrity lover. Just yesterday, the alleged jumpoff of Carmelo Anthony is now writing a tell all book. It seems that every time you look up, a lady that has been sleeping with a married NBA or NFL player, actor or rapper is shouting from the roof top, "I did it! I slept with him! Look at me! Listen to the details!"

My question is, didn't you know when you started sleeping with him that you were the other woman? I am sure you did. Was is something that he didn't give you or did you end up falling hard for him and when he finally wouldn't leave his wife - you decided to let the world know? I am not condoning having a jumpoff or mistress by any means, but if you are going to be one - know your part! You are the side piece not the main piece and why is it so important to tell everybody your own personal business. You are hurting his wife and his family. It's one thing to have a personal conversation with his wife but why release pictures, text, and detailed stories for the world to see. What do they gain by doing that? Unless, it was a game from the beginning.

My other question is, why do so many celebrity men have mistresses! What's so funny is that men still haven't learned. They more you have, the more you have to lose and yet men keep putting their families, health and futures at risk. If you want to have other women, why even get married. Just be single and play the field. Why get married and then still sleep with women. Is it for an image? Forget an image, just be you. Be open about being a ladies man versus being caught as a cheater and let your domestic issues play out in the media.

The SWAP was a success! (Pictures Inside!)

The SWAP was a success! It was alot of fun for me and my friend, Teresa, who put the event together. The actual drop off period was from 6pm to 7pm and we started swapping around 7:15pm. While at the swap, the participants only had nice things to say about the venue, decorations, and how we conducted the swap. Many of the women had never been to a fashion swap before and expressed they really enjoyed the experience. While we were separating the items, the women enjoyed Mary Kay treatments and refreshments. It was our first time actually putting together something like this and in my opinion it went very well. I look forward to doing another event very soon. We are discussing a kids swap next month now. I am very thankful to the people that did come out and support me (us) with this event.

While we were setting up the event, a young lady booked Teresa & I to host a swap for her organization in April. It will be a Charity Event for homeless mothers. People will come and SWAP and donate a dress for the mothers in this shelter for Mothers Day. I think it's a great cause and I am excited to be apart of it.

Here are a few pictures from the SWAP-TASTICS!


 

Relaxed Hair versus Natural Hair (Give-a-way)

(Sorry about the Video Quality! It will be better next time! Promise!)
Hello Ladies! Today's topic is Relaxed Versus Natural Hair. Which do you prefer? I have been both. I have now been natural for 4 years and it has not always been easy but it's been worth it. I wear my hair in twist sets, straight and I even wear a quick weave from time to time. I like the versatility of being natural and I also love how thick and shiny my hair is naturally. I am responsible for many of my friends going natural (toot toot! That is me tooting my own horn!)

BUT BUT BUT for as many women that are going natural, there are still women that love their relaxers! This blog entry is not to bash them but inquire WHY? Why do you still get a relaxer? Have you ever tried not getting a relaxer for at least 6 months, a year or longer? Were you ever natural and went back to a relaxer? Are you scared to try being natural? Or are you just plain happy having a relaxer?

I was able to attend the Mo'Nique Show taping yesterday (I will also be on the first 5 minutes of the show playing her Black History Game next week) Bria Murphy (daughter of Eddie and Nicole Murphy) was a guest. Bria is now the spokesperson for Dark & Lovely Products! She also gave everyone in the audience the New Dark & Lovely Healthy Gloss 5 Relaxer. The five signs of healthy hair are moisture, shine, strength, softness and body! Well, I don't need the relaxer. I wanted to do a give-a-way for my Facebook Friends and Blog Friends! All you have to do is comment on why you LIKE GETTING A RELAXER! We will go over the comments and choose the best one. The winner will be shipped the new relaxer and picture posted on the blog! Please don't forget to LIKE the Facebook Page as well.

Thanks soooooooooooo much! We look forward to reading your comments!

Happy 1st Year Bloggerversary!!

It's been 1 year since I started this blog! I can't believe how fast time has flown by. I have truly learned some things about the Internet. I am also still learning and will be striving to "BE BETTER" during 2011. Not just in my blog but I want to be better in every aspect of my life.

I was looking at the stats and over the course of the year I have had 10,009 visitors! Amazing, at least to me. A goal of mine is to give you better content, more money saving deals, and family changing opportunities. I welcome new topic ideas from you as well as affiliate programs. I also welcome any ideas you have for making this website better! I truly thank you for visiting my site and hope you share this link as much as you can with friends, family members or co-workers you feel might benefit from a topic.

W.I.F.E stands for Why Isn't Forever Easy. It was originally supposed to be a support group for married women. Married women have a range of emotions that are many times held in for a large number of reasons. I wanted to create a group or an outlet for these women to be able to share, release and even met other women they might relate to. I thought of this group about 4 years ago but then I got pregnant and life took control. I thought of the name immediately and always talked about what I wanted to do. But again, mommyhood and wifedom took over. So last year, I joined the blog world while still desiring in my heart to actually start the support group. Well, I am glad to say that this month I will also be holding my very first support group gathering! It will be an invitation only event and my desire is to grow via word of mouth. W.I.F.E has the potential to be a nationally recognized non-profit organization and with my hard work and member dedication it can be.

Thank you again Facebook Fans and Blog Fans!

Walmart now has ANTI-Aging Make-Up for 8-12 year olds? WTH!

What exactly is geoGirl?



It's a new line of 69 cosmetics products, from blush and mascara to exfoliators, aimed at the tween market. It's designed especially for young girls who want to use "real cosmetics, but with natural ingredients," says Joel Carden of Pacific World, the line's manufacturer. All products will be free of chemicals like paraben, phthalates, and sulfates, with a minimal use of synthetic colors and fragrances, a move "designed to attract parents worried about the excess chemicals in make-up," according to the Daily Mail.

Honestly, I don't care how "Natural" it is, my daughter (who is only 3 now by the way) is not going to be exfoliating her skin at 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12! It amazing how we as a society push looking young forever so much that now we are actually creating a make-up skin care line for young girls. I read some where that allowing our daughters to use these products shows them that their already natural beauty is not good enough at a young age. That could also get them addicted (strong word but I don't mean it like that) to make-up too early. I can see a little lip gloss (only) here and there. All girls see mommy getting ready in the mirror and want to do what she does, but I can't see my young daughter doing her own make-up like she really has somewhere to go! LOL! I am sure this line of cosmetics will be a hit because obviously there is a market for it. I really just think that we are pushing the idea that our natural beauty is not good enough at such a young age that it could also lead to self esteem issues early. It's going to interesting how this product effects the young girls that use it. It will also be interesting to see how their product line grows!  Will you buy it for your daughter?

What is a total DEAL BREAKER for your marriage?

Another great friend gave me this topic! What is a total deal breaker for your marriage? If your husband cheats on you? If he has a baby with another woman while still married to you? If you find out he's on the down low but still wants to stay married? WHAT? What is a deal breaker? Believe it or not, these examples are not always a deal breaker for marriages. Some women (and men) forgive their spouses and stay married. It all depends on how much a person can handle and how much they are willing to deal with.

I really can't say that cheating would be a total deal breaker for me. It would depend on many things; how did I find out, who did he cheat with, was it a one time thing, does he love her, does he even want to stay with me now that he's caught? I can't say what I would or wouldn't do until something like that happens. That's another reason you can't judge another woman for staying or walking away. Only she knows what is really going on in that household. I will say this, if I found out  my man was on the DOWN LOW, I'm out! No questions or comments about it! #Dealbreaker! There are a few more deal breakers I could list, but this is not all about me. Feel free to share yours.
