Check out who’s coming to TV in the fall. Damon Wayans has signed on to the CBS comedy show about a sports radio station. He’ll co star with Eliza Dushku, the real life girlfriend of former L.A. Laker Rick Fox. Wayans is best known for his roles on My Wife & Kids and In Living Color. Cedric The Entertainer will be doing a comedy show for NBC, and Boris Kodjoe returns to TV on ABC’s Georgetown about young staffers on Capital Hill. Kodjoe was recently on the cancelled NBC show Undercovers that co-starred Gugu Mbatha-Raw and was created by J.J. Abrams. Abrams is producing Taraji P. Henson’s new CBS drama Person Of Interest. Donald Faison of Scrubs fame will be one of the stars of the TV Land show The Exes with Tichina Arnold (“Pam” from Martin, “Mom Rochelle” from Everybody Hates Chris). Arnold will also be starring with Fran Dresher on the show Happily Divorced which is also on the TV Land cable network.
The number of unmarried couples living together rose 13 percent from the previous year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
This year, there are 7.5 million opposite-sex unmarried couples living together – up from 6.7 million in 2009, reported the bureau on Thursday. The year before had witnessed a two percent drop after a five percent rise in co-habiting couples between 2007 and 2008.
Demographers say a poor job market is likely a factor in the rise of co-habiting couples in 2010.
According to 2010 data, unmarried couples who recently began living together usually have one partner unemployed. Only 49 percent of cohabiting couples this year are ones where both partners are employed. This figure is down from 59 percent in 2008 and 52 percent in 2009.
“Pooling resources by moving in together may be one method of coping with extended unemployment of one of the partners,” said Rose Kreider, a demographer in the Housing and Household Economic Statistics Division at the Census Bureau, according to Agence France-Presse.
Kreider noted the sharp rise in co-habiting this year – three years after the official beginning of the Great Recession, is likely due to people “exhausting” other ways to stay financially afloat – unemployment benefits, saved money, available credit, or assistance from friends and family.
As season two gets underway for The Wendy Williams Show, you will notice new set changes. Behind the scenes, a new producer has been put in place. Word has it the show is being toned down. Don’t change Wendy! There is no one else like her on TV, and that is what makes Wendy Wendy. If the show took a ratings hit, blame it on all the reruns and long hiatus breaks. Let Wendy shine and do her thing!
Too much emphasis is put on being in one, having a good one, finding one, maintaining a bad one, you name it. They’re either sinking or treading water, in most cases today. IMO, women place far too much emphasis on getting into relationship instead looking at whether or not THEY are good in relationships, platonic or intimate.
Too much focus is placed on what the man is going to do while in it, bring to it, or how he will enhance her perception of it-too much pressure for any man to live up to a females expectations of what relationship should be like and do for her emotionally, socially and fiscally. That’s the first cause of the relation-ship to start sinking. There was a hole in from the start.
The second part is, most women REFUSE to admit that most men surrender into relation-ships. They say things like “It was just time.” or “Hell, we’d been together for years. Why not?” Again, the rise and fail, survival and end of a relationship falls squaring into the man’s lap, when most women know that most men don’t really want to be tied down from the jump. That’s why things are great in the beginning-he doesn’t even know for sure it’s a bad thing for him. Then, over time, he shows his ass. Which, when you want to get kicked out of class or school, what do you do? You act out in ways that get you kicked out. That way, you can tell your parents how much you want to go to school, but the teacher suspended you, so….
This is how men basically try to get excused from relationships. They never wanted to be in them. Women, on the other hand, i admire for wanting something solid, meaningful, lasting, etc. But, i can’t believe why the fairy tale of “happily ever after” seems to go in one ear and out the other. I understand it, just don’t get why women don’t. Relationships are good when their great, and suck when they aren’t. And women place all their chips on that bet, several times in a row, still wanting get right back on, when, men figures, after one bad one or two, no point in going down that road again. Men see relationships as going back to a high paying job you always hated. There are benefits to them, and everybody wants one. Not many are cut out for them.
Now, not all men are anti-marriage. But, for the most part, marriage, to many men, is on it’s way out like Blockbuster Video. There is too much risk in tying your name and assets to someone else. Male or female, it’s a huge risk. Also, you need to change or eliminate many things you used to enjoy from your life, to make a new life with someone else. Their rules, they want you to stop doing, seeing, using or buying or doing certain things that would make THEM feel better about what you don’t really want-a relationship or marriage. Again, that ship sinks.
So, much like the boat analogy, relationships can easily be set adrift, but not many of us are capable of the upkeep, navigation and survival of all who inhabit said boat.
Have intentions, but don’t have expectations, and certainly don’t have requirements.
Do not become addicted to a particular result. Do not even prefer one. Elevate your
Addictions to Preferences, and your Preferences to Acceptances.
