A Low Blow

Well, the Madonna / Guy Ritchie divorce just keeps getting uglier.

Apparently, this is their son Rocco wearing a Yankee’s T-Shirt. 

How is this a low blow?  Well, Madonna is rumored to be dating Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriquez, and that is one of the reasons for their split.

Now, I’m going out on a limb here, but I think that this may be just a coincidence or maybe someone else dressed Rocco on this day.  I just don’t see Madonna letting her kids parade around in Crocs, especially not blue/green ones that don’t perfectly match with the outfit.  No offense to Croc lovers (Sorry, but I’m just not a big fan).

On the other hand, this could be a calculated move (not the Crocs, but the t-shirt).  Supposedly, Guy was abusive in the marriage and would call Madonna “old, fat, ugly and wrinkled”.

Who really knows what to believe?  The only two people who know what went down in that marriage are Guy and Madonna.  The rest of us are just left guessing (and feeling better about our own marriages) when we read these rumors.

All I do know is that to involve your kids in your divorce is completely inexcusable.  I really hope that if my husband ever called me names and I start dating a MLB superstar that I wouldn’t dress my kids in logowear to rub it in his face. 

Actually, I’m thinking he wouldn’t mind anyway being the baseball fanatic that he is.  In fact, he may encourage it.

Luckily, I haven’t had this happen to me yet.  We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.   

The closest I can think of to delivering a “low blow” would be when I was dating a guy in high school.  I found out from a friend that he had lunch with another girl and was planning on asking her on a date. 

How did I retaliate to this news?

I took all the stuffed animals he ever bought me, every single one of the notes he’d ever written me, and every last picture we ever took together and put it in a giant trash bag.  Then I drove up to his place of employment (Pizza Hut) and dumped it all out on the floor. 

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

It’s your turn–tell me about a time when a guy/girl wronged you in a relationship.  How did you retaliate?

    I beat him up side the head with my Spanish book and kept beating him. I some how went psycho and would not stop and no one else tried to stop me, not even the teacher. When I finally finished you could hear a pin drop for all of 5 seconds and then class went on as usual.
    We actually were already broken up at that point and became pretty good friends the rest of high school.

    Not just becuase I am a Madonna fan but I think the media loves to turn any big Hollywood divorce in a freak show . I try not to buy in to that she is dating A-Rod too fast. They could be only friends and her son might be a big NY fan. You never know what goes on behind closed doors.

    Wow, I sound like an old lady. A stick int he mud. Not sure when that happen to me?

    I never retaliated myself, but I did help a male friend retaliate against his ex-girlfriend. We did some pretty nasty stuff, I think I may have caused permanent damage to her car. Funny thing is, they ended up getting married. And then divorced.

    That would be in college when the guy I was dating cheated on me. I found a note from a girl back home (a MUCH younger girl at that) talking about their ‘relationship’. Luckily, she included a self-addressed stamped envelope for him to reply (can you say desperate?) so I decided I would write her a letter myself. I doubt that it hurt him too much, but that’s the only thing I could think of at the time.

    Many moons ago when I was on the air at a certain Seattle radio station, against the better advice of, oh EVERYONE in the industry, I started dating a DJ at another station. We dated for about 4 months and kept everything pretty quiet. It wasn’t until I was in the studio with a local band we were giving some spin to and on the air talking about family when the lead singer of the band mentioned that his SISTER was dating none other than the guy I was dating.

    I had pizza and chinese delivered to his home and whilst he was on the air, for two weeks straight after that.

    He went on vacation for three weeks and I called the electric and phone companies and had his utilities shut off. I’m sure his fridge/freezer was practically crawling by the time he got back.

    I subscribed him to every single porn magazine I could think of and sent them to the STATION where he was on the air.

    And to cap it all off I sent a gay-strip-o-gram to him whilst he was on the air.

    First off let me say I love Madonna. She’s amazingly talented and changed the world.

    My wife hates her. She still looks 30.

    That being said anyone who expected monogamy out of her isn’t playing with a full deck.

    Not her way.

    Auds wins… hands down.

    I always creeped my ex out with kindness. The girl he cheated on me with (he didn’t know that I knew about it) was really dirt poor, so I took her out and bought her a cartload of groceries with his money. He hated that, and evidently she didn’t like that I was nicer to her with money than he was so she dumped him. Sweet justice.

    Hmmm. Nothing comes to mind, I have been jilted before but I think I was too busy being all “woe! misery! my life is overrrrrrrrrr!” to actually retaliate. Rather pathetic, methinks.
