You know, I don't know the whole story behind Mary J and her marriage, but I'm getting tired of hearing from women that cheating is the worst crime ever He cheateed! So what?!!? Here are some worse things that can happen! Beating you, kicking you, and physically hurting you, stealing from you or something, abusing your kids, or killing you or one of your kids these are worse things. I feel you having a baby out of wedlock was the worst thing ever for you were a very bad example for other young ladies out there who thought it was alright to get pregnant by a man they're not married too thus depriving a child of a proper family and home, coz their hero Mary J. Blige did it and she's alright; so you need to shut up about 'he cheated!'' bullshit! You were irresponsible and brought a kid into this world without being married and providing him with a proper home to grow up in and thrive in! So you cheated! You're supposed to have the baby AFTER you get married!!! Cheating, get over it! If you were the most beautiful woman in the world a man is still gonna' want another woman. You women need to abandon this stupid fantasy that a man will only want you in his life! Not gonna' happen! If it bothers you that much, go out and get you another guy. Breaking up a family because of 'cheating' is selfish and stupid! Keep your girlfriends out of your business and learn how to live with your man coz' prince charming is where he belongs; on the pages of fairytales. Learn how to get along with each other for it ain't gonna' be no damned rose garden everyday!
And men, I'm not saying you got a license to cheat; I'm just saying women need to quit judging and trying to run the relationship and decide what 'offense' is the greatest and all that shit. You really shouldn't cheat but be mindful you took a vow before God to be good and faithful to her. You need to take it seriously or think it through carefully before you make it. Temptation will always be there and you shouldn't be judged for making some mistakes. You shouldn't keep making mistakes though just as women shouldn't keep having children out of wedlock. There's enough sins to go around. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. he will be back but just keep on resisting.

Mary J. Blige Talks Divorce & 'Strength of a Woman' Album on NPR
With Mary J. Blige's new album Strength of a Woman set to drop tomorrow (April 28), the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul sat down with NPR to discuss her failed marriage, overcoming adversity in the music industry, and more in her exclusive interview.
The demise of Blige's marriage will be the central theme of her upcoming album. After being married for 13 years with Kendu Isaacs, the couple split due to irreconcilable differences. Blige candidly spoke about her song "Thick of It" and how the recording process nearly broke her down.
"This song was originally written about me fighting for my marriage," said Blige. "The lyrics were completely different, and it was saying things like, "We just don't give up when we're in the thick of it." And then with all of this happening, it was hard to go back to the studio and do it, but I had to do it, in order to -- how can I say it? -- get free, because my music is therapeutic to me as well. And if I don't write about it and if I don't sing about where I am in my life, I won't start a healing process."
Blige also delved into the downside of being in the music industry. "It's the business," she said. "When it looks like you're not doing as well, or you're getting older on top of not doing well as how you used to do, they just start counting you out."
Though Blige admitted to having difficulty overcoming life's hurdles, she says her struggles molded her into who she is today. "It's hard, it's a responsibility being Mary J. Blige," she said. "I wouldn't trade it -- but the trials and tribulations I could do without. If I could do it without the trials -- but those are the things that make us or break us. And, in my case, I'm not going to be broken."
Last month, Blige released her empowering single "Love Yourself" with Kanye West. Strength of a Woman will include guest appearances by DJ Khaled, Missy Elliot, Quavo, Kaytranada, and Prince Charles.
