Super PAC Shock: GOP Group Considering Bringing Back…
Pastor Carjacked At Detroit Gas Station
Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas is feeling a little blue these days. For one, he's going to miss the next three months after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus and microfracture in his knee. And now, according to his blog, it appears Agent Zero and his girlfriend are taking a break from one another:
You know what? When stuff goes bad it goes bad. I just broke up with my girlfriend and I don't get to see my kids for a while because of the breakup.Honestly, I should cry a river for Gilbert. Anyone who's ever gone through a breakup -- or dealt with someone driving them crazy -- knows it ain't fun. However, I'm inclined to believe this "breakup" won't last very long.
That happened right before those two games last week. I was so happy, went out and performed well with 30 and 11 and came back the next night with 28 and I was thinking, "Oh yeah, it was her that was bringing my spirits down..."
Now she's back in California. You ask for space, you know, because everything feels closed in ... the house is dirty, the kids are drawing on the walls and on the couches and you're thinking, "Oh man, I can't do this. I'm not playing well and I'm coming home to all this."
So you ask for space and now you got clean walls, clean furniture and you're lonely.
And now you got to sit out three months. Oh man. I guess it has to get bad so it can get good.
After all, this is the same woman who chased him all over our great country with the intent to embarrass and serve him a paternity suit on national television.
From a Washington Post article on Arenas:
The ordeal went on so long it actually became a running gag with some of the Wizards. "We made it into a big joke," Arenas said. "My teammates would say, 'Gil's on the run again,' or, 'You dodged that one like "The Matrix." ' Oakland, Sacramento, Houston, Chicago. They were trying to serve me everywhere. I would stay under an alias."
In Oakland, Arenas narrowly escaped being served when teammate Donnell Taylor was mistaken for him at a practice, giving Arenas enough time to flee.
"All I heard was: 'We're going to get him by any means necessary. If he's shooting a free throw, we'll run on that floor and embarrass him, that's what we're going to do.' It got that crazy and nasty," Arenas said.
One would think drama like that would be enough to break up a couple, but instead it was a reason to procreate again. The two recently had a second child.
So if he couldn't break it off with a woman who had him hiding in hotel rooms under aliases then, I doubt a dirty house, some crayon on the wall, in addition to three months of couch-sitting is going to make these two call it quits permanently now.

It's funny how well the Wizards are performing while he is out. Have they truly become a team rather than a one or two man show.
With regards to his girlfriend, life goes on. Move on and do what you can to see your children.Next time make a committment.

While they have to work together in maintaining a nice home and disciplining the children, Gilbert can't MAKE his girlfriend be responsible and handle what is expected of her - the household and kids, she has to want better herself.

You know this all sounds like excuses. People should be ashamed of
themselves to make excuses for a man kicking a woman that he wouldn't
mind laying with and his kids out. Think about what's really going on!
What MAN would lay with a woman have kids by her (being an NBA player
and all) and don't marry her. What happen to morals??? Now, he kicks
her out because she's a bad housekeeper and care taker??? What the
he&* is that all about? If he has so much money hire a nanny and
someone to come into the home and give her some parenting advice. She
just might need help her self. Being a single mother and all,
sometimes, everyone is not perfect. I would love to keep my house
clean at all times but you know what, after dealing with kids all day
my mental sometimes needs a break and takes a hold on my physical
being. You show me a woman or man that has the house clean 24 hrs. a
day with kids and I'll take these comments back. IT'S A JOINT EFFORT,
EVERYONE PLAYS A PART BUT SOMETIMES ONE HAS TO HELP THE OTHER and if
his remedy is kicking her out, than maybe his father should have done
the same to his mom!!!

Also, people of color already take too much credit for broken homes. So, good job Arenas thanks for your contribution!!! You made your bad, lay in it. Do you honestly think moving on or possibly getting someone else will make it go away - NO!!! We need to learn how to keep our business under our roof's and deal with things instead of letting society dictate who and what we are. So, thanks brother you just made us proud - RIGHT!!!

Its okay Gilbert, you have to go through bad times to get to the good times. Sometimes you have to let go of the past to move foward. So if it doesn't work out with you and your ex, look me up ;)

Brotha, my young brotha. It is past time to grow up. TIME OUT for the pity party and TIME FOR GROWING UP!! Assume the responsibility of your children and see a good therapist and you and the young lady try to work this thing out because you have children. The children will pay for the sins of the parents. In the meantime...WRAP IT UP!!! GROW UP!!! Take some parenting classes...NOW!! Don't wait, get help and take care of your children. If you don't, when you get old you will wish you had taken care of what you created. WRAP IT UP, BROTHA!!! GROW UP!!!

I would say to you Gilbert that you are doing the right thing. Get yourself healed physically and emotionally and last but certainly not least, spiritually. After that, seek some professional and spiritual counseling to determine whether the two of you should continue this on again off again relationship. If not, then sue for sol custody of your children and wait until you find that special someone to settle down with and raise those children with a mother and a father. GOD BLESS.

Today many individuals are quick to point the finger on whose responsibility it is for house work, financial stability/provider, dicipline of children, and decision making. The reality of it all is that whomever you may be with husband/wife or long life companion, the responsibilities in the home should be equal and communication amoung the parties should be understanding and considerate. Gils wife should understand that her husband is trying to stay focused on doing his job which is basically his career that provides for their family. Have the house in order and food prepared when her husband comes home from a long day. She doesn't have to do it everyday but show her appreciation and let her husband know that she is trying. Gil needs to understand and be considerate of the fact that, yeah! he may be working and at the same time his wife is at home working with taking care of the kids-raising children is a job and it can wear you out! Maybe they need to communicate better and help each other know verbally and in a calm manner how they feel. Seperating and divorce will only cause drama, and at the same time the kids are confused and hurt. Take care of one another and never listen to others.
