Why I can't make myself believe that Tori and Dean are cute
Filed under: Bump Watch, Celeb Kids, Life & Style, Celeb Parents, Media
Why is Tori Spelling everywhere, all of a sudden? I vaguely remember her vacant Donna back in the Beverly Hills 90210 days, and then she disappeared off the face of the planet for what...close to a decade? Perhaps more?
Then, she suddenly re-emerged and I still can't quite figure out why. There she was, in some of the most-read celebrity magazines on the news stand: resplendent with pig tails, a dewy smile, and a baby bump. There she was online, gleeful at some kind of blue-themed baby shower. Here's her new husband, caressing her behemoth breasts. Here she is again, promoting her TV show on her MySpace Page and talking about her new son Liam (and receiving tons of gushing from adoring fans)
The TV show, in case you missed it, is called Tori and Dean: Inn Love. And I am wondering if I am the only one who wonders what the ex-wife of Dean thinks about all this business. I mean, she and Dean had just adopted a little girl when her ex-husband informed her that Tori Spelling was his soulmate. And I know that I have not walked in his shoes and I should not judge, etc. etc. But. I still do not believe that it is OK for any married man or woman to take off from their partner for another only months after having a baby. Period.
But everyone seems to have forgiven Tori and Dean for the ugliness of the roots of their union and they continue to be everywhere. Perhaps I'm just an old embittered fuddy duddy. But I can't seem to make myself like Tori and Dean as a couple, no matter how "Inn Love" they might be.

Meg said...What purpose would he really have served by staying in the unhappy marriage indefinitely "for the sake of the child"? I have a friend whose parents did that -- he's 46 now and hasn't had a single healthy relationship in his entire life, despite decades of counseling off and on. Personally, I think Dean would've done more harm than good staying around his ex and the baby for any length of time after he realized he was no longer able to be happy there. Unhappy parents do not make for happy children -- at least not in my experience.
So, I hope he and Tori are happy, even if it does seem like an odd matching. If only for the sake of their own children together. But I firmly and fully believe that two people who do not love each other and no longer want to be a couple should NEVER stay in their marriage because they think that's the best thing for the child(ren). It really, truly is NOT.

HeatherJ said...I saw his ex-wife on a show and although she seems bitter, I mean who wouldn't, she has moved on. She ended up adopting the baby as a single woman. His name is not on the adoption papers and he does not have a relationship with the child. They do have an older child together and supposedly he is involved in his life.

Trisha said...Meg, I think you missed the point. However, you are right that an unhappy marriage is good for no one. BUT the point is that divorce isn't the only answer, well, at that point it probably is, but it started long before that. People fall out of love because they stop trying at some point. Oh sure, maybe they are trying but not to love each other. People are in love when they get married and I DO think it's their responsibility as to continue to do everything they can to STAY in love. Not every marriage works, that's true but I think a whole lot more would if people were willing to put everything into it, not just 50-50 but 100-100.
Ok, I know I'm on a pedistool here but with good reason, I'm in a marriage where we both love each other and in our barely 6 years we have had some pretty hard stuff to work through, no not pretty hard, horrible. But we did, and are still.
Another point- why would he (DEAN) go through the whole adoption process when he was secretly in love with someone else, talk about complicating things! It was very unfair and selfish.

Melinda said...While Meg has a point about not staying in an unhappy marriage, they've been together for years and Dean should not have been part of adopting a baby with Mary Jo if he was unhappy. It's not like he just realized he wasn't happy within the past few months.. that usually goes on for a while before someone does something about it. It was wrong to agree to adding to the family and then turn around and take himself out of it.

CLM said...If you're unhappy in a marriage and unwilling to make it work - get divorced. THEN you can go out and date and start a new life. This guy cheated on his wife - unacceptable. Tori shouldn't kid herself - he's probably going to cheat on her too.

Emsmum said...Yes, CLM! You got it! Marriages sometimes don't work out. That's just the way it is. But both partners should be respectful of the other and the family they have build by being honest about their feelings. Screwing around with someone else and then "falling in love" before you have told your partner, is just plain dirty...I can respect a man who feels that his marriage has nothing left to offer him, and deals with it in the appropriate manner. I CANNOT respect a man who is unfaithful...or his mistress
