I’m a bit saddened with the news of Tamar and Vince’s divorce filing.  The recent  placement of their home for sale and her deciding to ice her music career in an effort to save their marriage weren’t  good signs.   Rumors of domestic violence and extramarital affairs have swirled for years.  If there is any truth to those rumors, they may play out during divorce proceedings.

When friends fall out, it can get ugly real quick.    However, I have learned that  if you truly value your friendship,  then “putting on those big girl panties” is a must.   Owning up to your part in the fall out, is just the mature thing to do; instead of trying to justify your actions.  The later part used to be hard for me.
