Yes, Kobe should have kept his wife, without the cheating. There was a song in the 60s that said: "It's Cheaper To Keep Her!" Hello, Kobe, get it.
Even so, Kobe took the vows: not Congress, Obama, The House of Representatives -- before God (won't discuss this one), family, and friends -- mostly likely in a church: liar, liar, pants on fire!
There are many men and women who are in loveless marriages, including sex, posters, and they're not off fucking; they take their vows, seriously.
If adultery was taken more seriously in this country, unlie the Islamic countries, people would not be committing adultery: they would be killed for their actions. Men, women, you made the choice; stay in that hell!
If you notice, this generation -- unlike the 1950s generation -- makes excuses to avoid marriage: everyone wants to run to alleged greener pastures -- where are those pastures -- in Ireland?
The United States does not require marriage; although, the powers-that-be, i.e., the Church, community, and families -- wish it were so. Then, no one: man or woman has to marry: there are not any arranged marriages, here.
I chose to remain a bachelorette, and I do not worry about adultery: fornication, yes.
It is not only the super stars who marry, the commoners, as well, marry...and I do not understand why: perhaps, societal pressures.
Finally, women have messed this marriage crap up, seriously. There used to be the time -- way back when -- when a man actually begged a woman to be his wife: he was so proud, the family, the community, and the church -- she passed the litmus, marital test -- that women had to run from men (suitors). He could not wait to get under that long dress or skirt. Then, again, if the man did not fulfill his promise, daddy's shotgun changed his mind. Those were the good ole days.
