Love and life partner are not same. I believed U can do to Ur best.

Rihanna all I ask is this, just stay away for him until he gets help. I know love is love, but you need to stay away for a while. Because Chris needs to quit denying what he did and get help.

i totally agree dumbunny ur not so dumb!

Women who feel loved when they are beaten need help. Men who feel loved when they are emotionally beaten need help. I can't condemn the truth, because violence is nature, and Nature is violent. Be strong enough to EVOLVE. We are no longer CHIMPS. Darwin Rules!

We’re too quick to condemn, because an endeavor to understand requires more work. A deep understanding of any issue helps you find constructive solutions.

rachel (3/16/2009 9:49:04 PM)

When we rush to judgment in situations like these, we are doing more damage than we know. At the end of the day, when children are involved, we adversely transform their young lives, maybe permanently. We need to focus on understanding people and everything else to find solutions.

Frankly, people who lack the professional training and experience to offer constructive guidance and deep insight to couples should not play the part of clinical psychologist. It only contributes to the already high divorce rate and adversely affects children who, as a direct result, become products of a broken home.

We get our statistics from the reported incidents, most of which we can reasonably believe escalated out of control. What about the countless one-off incidents that are never reported and resolved at home or with effective intervention? I believe Oprah’s statement refers to “crazy men who oppress women and beat them severely and repeatedly.” That’s at the extreme end of the spectrum. What about the husband who slaps his wife after she punches him, should she destroy her family of, say four?

rachel (3/16/2009 9:47:01 PM)

You see, while men must control themselves, always treat us with respect, and take responsibility for their actions, we too (women) must behave responsibly, and we must be held accountable for our own actions, especially when children are involved. We cannot make such generalizations to eliminate any hope for reconciliation, and thereby harm innocent children who need both parents. We must be objective. There are often solutions.

rachel (3/15/2009 6:15:57 PM)

I don’t believe remarks about any group of people should be generalized, certainly not comments about domestic violence incidents, the details of which vary from crazy men who oppress women and beat them severely and repeatedly to women who behave recklessly and are slapped once by their men. Stereotypes (generalizations) are NEVER acceptable. In any event, none of us should play the part of a marriage counselor. We should direct our friends with marital or relationship problems to people who are trained, qualified, and objective.

rachel (3/15/2009 6:15:14 PM)

The statement, “If a man hits you once, he will hit you again” is no different from “All black people are lazy.” They are both stereotypes. Oprah’s statement, among other things, disregards the unique character traits of the individuals involved, the history of the subject relationships, and the specifics of one-off incidents, some of which may even mitigate the crime.

DumBunny (3/12/2009 5:32:37 PM)

FACT: People justify beatings. FACT: Getting a beating you don't feel you "deserve" doesn't make you stop from JUSTIFYING YOUR BEATING!! FACT: PEOPLE NEED HELP to stop the cycle of abuse! If you are being beaten, fix YOURSELF, NOT YOUR ABUSER. Self-esteem is LEARNED, not inherent. GET SCHOOLED, and PROTECT YOURSELF!

I hate that he had to see his mom suffer. Looks like he's repeating the same pattern. Nothing that Rihanna supposedly did - if she did anything at all - should have warranted him beating her like he did. To give him a slap on the wrist and to say "leave them alone and let them work it out" - is to condone this behavior. Chris should be punished, and Rihanna shouldn't be with him. What if she confronts him again... or doesn't act the way he wants -what then? Will there be someone to hear her next time? Does she have to be dead before the public says, well, maybe it wasn't a good idea for her to go back to him afterall. This is not a race issue... I don't care what color you are. If this involved white artists, I'd feel the same way! I liked Chris Brown... I like his dancing - loved his song "Forever" and I think this is just sad. I can't condone it though and say I'll continue listening to his music because I won't. I don't like the fact they're getting back together - regardless of what he saw as a child, you don't beat women - for any reason. Looks like he would be less likely to do something like that - after seeing what his mom went through. I'm afraid he can't be rehabilitated. I don't understand why any one would support the two getting back together... especially if they cared ANYTHING about Rihanna.

i cannot believe we have reached the point in america now where domestic violence is acceptable. i can only imagine how terrifying it must have been for rihanna to be brutal beaten, punched and BITTEN by a man who was supposed to be kind to her and respect her. no matter what rihanna did, it is not acceptable for a man, who is assuredly stronger and larger than a woman, to hit his partner. EVER. even if she was hitting him or "provoking"it or anything, the photographs on TMZ show that what he did goes horrifyingly beyond defense. he viciously, cruelly beat her and punched the woman who loved and trusted him, and i can only imagine the fear and pain she went through. eyewitnesses say they could hear her screams from faraway, and yet there are so many people trying to deny what happened and mimize it. nomatter what anyone says or how scared people are of taking a stance on this, IT HAPPENED. nothing anyone can say will change that, and im sure the person who knows this most of all is rihanna. im sure this is the last thing she ever wanted to happen- no one wants to be beaten so much they are unrecognizable. in my mind, he will always have her blood on his hands, as im sure he did on that day. what he did is disgusting, and it is about time people begin to acknowledge that. no matter if she takes him back now or a million times, the abuse happened, and people should always remember that. by supporting chris brown, one is supporting vicious, cruel violence against women in particular.

hahahaha. "Ass monkey, that monkey junky!!"

kjabbamodern (2/28/2009 3:46:54 PM)

some people are mad now but they will get over it, nobody knows what really happened between them, its their relationship butt out everyone and if this makes them happy well let them be, not every case is the same I know someone that her mother got beat by her father but then he admitted he was wrong and got therapy and never hit her again, not every case is the same, people do learn their lessons, you people that are saying that the same thing will happen again and again well you dont know that, thats like saying if anyone of us commits a mistake that we are going to do it over and over and thats not true we will learn from it to do things right the next time, i hope i made a point and that if you are really a TRUE fan then just support them on whatever it is they do and in their careers which is what matters, they are both really talented, support them BOTH

kjabbamodern (2/28/2009 3:46:24 PM)

I hope that this makes them grow in life and in their relationship, people... LET THEM BE!!!, you dont know what happened between them, who are you to judge their relationship, its their relationship not yours, people have to understand if he would do something like what he did then that means he probably needs some sort of counseling to surpass his childhood experiences, kids that go through with something like what chris well it will affect them, on chris its affecting him in a good and bad way, bad cause of what happened with riri but good cause he will learn from this & do what hes gotta do to better himself and he already is getting help on his own will & when you can go through all that and bounce back now that is something to respect. I LOVE BOTH CHRIS AND RIHANNA!!!!! =)
