...Or was it even love in the first place?
Rumour has it that mogul/ T.V personality Kimora Lee Simmons
and actor Djimon Hounsou have called it quits. And the reason? Money.
According to reports from the New York Daily News the couple
got into a “big fight over money” and “Djimon walked out on Kimora”. This comes
after Kimora’s ex-husband Russell Simmons decided to stop contributing money to
fund her “Fabulous” lifestyle, let's hope this money was to support their children.
Both Simmons and Hounsou reps have kept quiet on this so who
knows if there is any truth to these rumours? But as I was reading about this
story it just made me wonder if women have lost sight of what is important in a
relationship?
Some women always have these demands of what they want in a
man and the majority of their criteria is made up of material things. “He has
to have a car, a house, a job…” you know the rest. When I hear people making
these lists I always wonder “how much of those things do you own?” Why should
you expect someone to provide you with things when you are perfectly capable of
providing for yourself? The media is full of negative reports of how Black
women will never get married, YouTube is full of videos of the so called “Tired
Black Men” who are fed up with Black women’s demands and with stories like this
on the regular is it any wonder why Black women carry certain negative labels?

| Can you pay my bills? |
It's not wrong to want these things but how can we be singing to the tune of "Independent Women" and then as soon as we get a man it's "Can You Pay My Bills?" Your want for material things becomes dangerous when you place more value on things rather
than your relationship.
Maybe it’s time that we rethink our values and get a grip on
reality because you may miss out on Mr Right because you are too busy looking
for Mr Hotshot.
