Kobe Bryant: MVP (Made Vanessa Pissed)

Really, there's only so much a person can take. Vanessa Bryant, Lakers' star Kobe Bryant's wife, has filed for divorce from the NBA All-Star. Why, because too much is enough. She's caught him with multiple women over the years, but his latest ("very recent") indiscretion was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Thing is she says she still loves him. Can you love someone and divorce them? Absolutely. When the pain of the infidelity outweighs the joy of love, it's time to cut your losses and move on. Tiger Woods' ex, Elin Nordegren, Sandra Bullock, and Maria Shriver all became fed up and moved on.

But why did they stay so long if they knew their men were unfaithful? Sometimes it's easy to overlook the cheating when there are fringe benefits: money, fame, gifts and being part of a "power couple." But, there comes a time when no matter how many red carpet events you attend, how big the diamonds are, and how many private trips to Europe you go on, that you find what you really need, and that's a strong, healthy and balanced relationship with your partner.

Yes, the celebrity is something we want, but ultimately, no matter what we tell ourselves, the core of  who we are eventually desires what we need, and that's trust, and love.

In no way am I alluding that any of these women married for money or fame, but those were benefits of their marriages that eventually meant nothing. If you are marrying for something other than love, you may get what you want, but eventually you will discover that you are lacking what you need, and you will find yourself unhappy. My suggestion: marry for love and if your partner cheats, call him on it, and consider a second chance. If he walks the straight and narrow, you may be able to pull a Bill and Hilary, but if he doesn't send him packing.
