Kate Hudson makes a strange statement

Kate Hudson recently made a strange statement regarding hubby Chris Robinson (of Black Crowes semi-fame): "I don't worry about him [cheating on me] when he is on the road because he is way more into drugs than groupies."

Call me crazy, but isn't this the sort of skewed justifications made by abused people? I do hope it was a joke. Apparently, Chris is "off drugs" now.

Joe Rogan has a comedy bit he does about women who are addicted to dating a--holes. Basically the dialogue is between the abused friend and her girlfriend: "I can't believe you got back together, I thought you were through with him."

"He apologized...he said he wouldn't hit me in the FACE anymore....just the thigh, and not full strength." Shocked I was almost too shocked to laugh, to be honest, but potent issues are often well expressed in comedy. Rogan's feelings against abusive men were well presented in the bit.

Let's discuss...

I take issue with people mistreating other people in relationships. This is one of the reasons why I have so much trouble making committments myself. I see marriages where couples disrespect each other and that appears to be a 'normal' and acceptable way to behave. I know I am in the minority, but I just cannot do it. If someone were to speak to me or treat me badly, I would not allow it and/or would walk away.

I once had a boyfriend who slapped me in the face. That was the last I ever saw of him.

Kate Hudson, if she's anything like her mother, is probably a flake and was joking around.

Heeven, did you kick him in the balls? Good for you for walking out on the prick. If I see him I'll knock him around for ya. Bastard!!

P.S. Most married couples don't disrespect each other. They're just so sick of being together they would rather be dead than have the same arguments and disagreements over and over again.

Hope that makes you feel better about marriage.

I'm not marriage-minded at all anyway, so it doesn't matter. I gotta have my 'space'. Weird, but I find it unnatural to live on top of someone else.

Mrs. cav and I are both people who need 'space', so our marriage is a tad unconventional, but it works. I also know that if either of us slapped each other, that would result in an immediate divorce Confused

I really think that she was making a joke about her husband being into drugs more than groupies. But why is Goldie Hawn a flake? Pure fluff, sure, but a flake?

Yes they do BeachBum. Married usually treat total strangers with more respect than they give each other. I have no theories to support the observation, but it is a long term observation.

When Hub asked me to marry him, me being a rather non-romantic, eshewing the moist eyed "Yes", instead interviewed him briefly.

There are three things I need to know, before I can answer, said I.
We discussed his religion, as I believe people must be compatible in this area if they are to live together as husband and wife, and raise children. An interesting discussion, which ended most favorably...

I asked if he would treat my parents well, as this was a deal breaker. He said he liked them, and would comply. He became best friends with my dad. One of his most loving gifts to me, and my dad.

And, I said, "Well, this sounds like it will be blissful. I must tell you before setting off on this adventure-- if you ever hit me, I may kill you. I feel like an attack by a masterfully stronger man on a smaller boned female invites whatever methods she may find to accomplish her defense. If you survive my retaliation; I will definitely press charges, and clean your clock in divorce court. I've never been hit, and no one is breaking that record."

He never hit me.

He probably never would have, but I think some things bear specific examination before getting married.

I think the beautiful Kate was also making a joke, but I was curious about the actual words, and how coming from someone else, who was not joking, they would send up a red flag as per possible abuse.

Oh, cool!

Living together for 4 years first worked well for us two. All of that had been long established by the time we got hitched.

Sofia, I'm a pretty mild mannered guy. I've managed to get through 71 years and two wives without ever even thinking about hitting any woman (as far as I can remember). If I were interested in a woman, and she threatened to kill me if I hit her, I'd consider her a poor judge of character and a volatile personality. I'd never think of marrying her. Make no mistake, I believe that any man who hits a woman is a beast, but does that infraction really call for killing? Killing is extremely drastic action.

Hazlitt, I don't know much about Sofia's history before her marriage, but I do know my wife's. An ex of hers, before me, did indeed threaten to kill her, and hit her as well. In that context, her talk with me, which was not far off from Sofia's post, on the eve of our proposal seemed fair and acceptable, and I loved and respected her more for bringing it up.
