Halle Berry: My Relationship Might Not Be Forever
When Halle Berry said a few years ago that she wasn’t going to get married again, we understood why. She’d just come out of a second divorce to womanizer Eric Benet, and hey, who’d want to walk down the aisle again after being burnt so bad (and publicly)? But we kind of assumed that in the last couple years, since hooking up with so-good-looking-I’m-going-to-pass-out Gabriel Aubry and giving birth to their gorgeous daughter Nahla, she may have changed her mind. Not a bit.
“I’m much clearer about what a relationship is, which is why I will never marry again. Gabriel and I have a great partnership and a lovely daughter. But I once was stupid enough to say, in a previous relationship, “I’m going to be with this person forever,” and realized, as I grew, that I don’t know if forever is possible. Gabriel and I don’t look at our relationship in terms of forever, we look at it as right here today. And today means being the best people we can be, the best parents we can be. It’s wonderful, but neither one of us feels the need to attach ourselves to each other for life — because it may not be that,” she says.
Maybe we’re hard-bitten cynics, but Halle’s comments are a refreshing change from the usual proclamations of undying love from celebrity couples who’ve known each other for five minutes. And wouldn’t it be great if they lasted the distance? [Photo: Splash News Online]

“Gabriel and I don’t look at our relationship in terms of forever, we look at it as right here today. And today means being the best people we can be, the best parents we can be. It’s wonderful, but neither one of us feels the need to attach ourselves to each other for life — because it may not be that.” Yeah, that’s a really “refreshing” thing to say! This is why the concept of marriage is in such dire straights. Most people don’t want to really commit themselves to a relationship or to each other, and don’t even bother to get married “just in case” things don’t work out. It’s called a “cop out,” not “refreshing!”

I don’t find it that to be either “refreshing” or a “cop out”. Imagine you’re that little girl, and when you’re old enough your mommy tells you “well sure honey your dad and I didn’t stay together, but we didn’t get married either because we didn’t love each other enough. So it’s ok, get it?” I hope that doesn’t happen to them, but I wouldn’t want to have that conversation. As far as a cop out goes, it just sounds like she really isn’t that in love with him.

Thank you Becky Howard for posting this. I find it refreshing also because nothing, absolutely nothing is forever. Here and now is reality. Forever is for the movies.

I totally agree with what Halle said, That’s why people are so heartbroken when their relationship ends because they thought it is suppose to last forever and that is just not realistic. She just said what alot of younger people think, Now and day’s people realize that you don’t have to be with someone and put up with there crap forever just because that is the way are grandparents did it you don’t have to put up with abuse at the hands of your spouse because that is the way it was back then. People grow and change if you are lucky to find someone that changes as you do then great but not everyone can find that now and days.

Renee OKC (and Berd): It has nothing to do with “put[ting] up with [their] crap forever;” it has EVERYTHING to do with trying one’s best to make a relationship work. I am the first one who would agree that any relationship where abuse, cheating, or some other major issue is involved should be ended immediately. However, too many people these days aren’t willing to really work to make their relationship last, and instead, they take the easy way out by citing “irreconcilable differences” or some such nonsense. It’s human nature to change - everyone does - but a successful relationship doesn’t mean that just because your spouse/partner changes, you have to change, too. It’s a matter of understanding, acceptance, and lots of compromise; i.e., let the other person be themselves if you expect them to let you be you.

I feel sorry for Gabriel.He had no idea what he was getting into.His restraunt closed because he was too busy flying around the world with halle.His modeling career seems to be just about over and he put all of his eggs in her basket.Now she seems to be bored and not sure about their future so he is SOL.
