BlackVoices History Quest: Charleston
I guess it was only a matter of time.
TMZ is reporting that actress Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon and her husband, CAA agent Mike Nilon, are officially headed to splitsville. The 'Jamie Foxx Show' star filed for divorce on May 10, two days shy of her nine-year wedding anniversary.
In April, Garcelle discovered that her husband had been involved in a five-year affair with a Chicago woman. The starlet went on to send an e-mail blast to Nilon's colleagues and associates, exposing his infidelity. Though she acted hastily, Garcelle admitted to E! Online recently that she wouldn't have done things any differently. "I was angry, and, no, I don't regret it."
As for how she's been handling her husband's betrayal, "I'm taking it one day at a time, and I'm learning how strong I am."
Garcelle is currently seeking joint legal and physical custody of the couple's 2-year-old twins, Jax and Jaid. She has also asked the judge to deny any spousal support to Nilon.
Just two weeks after celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, Al and Tipper Gore have announced that they are separating. News of the split was retrieved by POLITICO in an e-mail sent by the couple to their close friends and colleagues.
The e-mail, titled "Email from Al and Tipper Gore" stated, "We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate. This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further."
Both Al and Tipper Gore grew up in the Washington area. The two met at a high school graduation dance and wed on May 19, 1970, according to Tipper Gore's White House biography.
The former second couple has four kids and reside in Tennessee.

Marriage is one of the hardest and most difficult job in the world. Yes, I called it a JOB!!! There are so many politics involved. There's democracy and there's anarchy! When the love turns into hate, it's hell after that. Better start sleeping with one eye open at that point. I don't know how couples last for 30, 40 and 50 years. At that point, its not love anymore, its dealing with it and afraid of change! You just grow accustommed(sp) to that person no matter how irritating they can be!

Love is not only about sex. It's about being with your best friend, your partner, the person you have fun with. Sex is not the only thing that keeps a relationship together, as a matter of fact, it destroys relationships. I have been married for 25 years, and we still have fun and actually like each other.

Hannah, you said it perfectly. It is a job. A TOUGH job. This is why so many marriages FAIL. It's hard to actually be with the same person for so long. Not easy especially nowadays. Better to just have casual relationships with no strong strings attached. Freedom to move. So many people out there going through divorce or have already. The kids end up suffering the most. It's just not worth it. Happy being single. Happy to have the FREEDOM.

Hannah--You have no idea what you're talking about! Hubby and I have been married 41 years, and are more in love today than we were when we married. It's not about merely dealing with being married to each other nor is it about being afraid of change. You don't stop growing and changing simply because you get married...unless you choose to. We've each gone through many changes through the years, but we've grown and changed together. We're not the same people we were when we got married. We've gone through lots of life changes...from newlywed, to new parents, to parents of teens, to parents of adults, to grandparents...and with each stage we've discovered new and exciting things about each other.
I really feel sorry for you that you haven't found somebody with whom you can truly be happy or that you are simply too young or too inexperienced to understand what truly loving somebody is all about.
You're right that not many people stay married long-term any more..and most of the time it's because the people involved are like you and don't understand that what you think of as love in your 20's is a pittance of what love is in your 60's and beyond. "Grow old with me...the best is yet to be" is so true!

Hannah, maybe someday you will find your soulmate, the love of your life. My husband and I will celebrate our 31st anniversary this month. The time seems to have whizzed by. We are still in very much in love, laugh all the time, enjoy vacations. I cannot imagine my life without him, or a life with anyone else. My parents were happy for 48 years, till my dad's death. His parents were happy for 47 years, till his mum's death. Happy, till death marriages DO exist!

Hannah, I understand what you are saying! Marriage is hard work. Not many people I see are truly happy. They are just people who do not want to be alone, don't know how to be alone or don't have the money or strength to get out of their relationship. Now, there are exceptions to the rule. So, you people who have been married for several years or don't know how to take what Hannah said, you could be one of the exceptions. However, keep in mind, that no matter how many years one has been married, there is no guarantee it will last. I have seen many couples split up after over 35 years of being together. Don't feel sorry for Hannah for not being married. Her situation is not worse than yours where you need to feel sorry for her. Many single people are very happy and content with their life. Being married or in a relationship does not define a person and it does not define happiness. Being independent and having freedom to do as you please is a sign of a person of strength and is not something negative. I feel sorry for the people who are married and judge those that aren't, as many that are single prefer it that way. We all have choices!
