When news that Tawanna Iverson filed for divorce from her famous tattooed husband Alan Iverson today were you surprised? The soon-to-be ex-Mrs. Iverson stated that her marriage to the NBA-star is "irretrievably broken," five children and 8 1/2 years of marriage later.
I'm not an expert on divorce and no one is ever going to accuse me of being Dr. Phil (if anything I'm a close second to Jerry Springer when it comes to marital advice), but over the years there are a few things that have taught me about relationships. Things that Mr. Iverson might find useful as he mends his broken (I think its broken) heart.
1) Don't be gangsta - Screaming little girls will tell you anything to win your favor including telling you that being a thug is cool. Unfortunately when you're pushing 40 the gangsta life is not the right life, especially when you have five mouths to feed. Retire your hoodie and Chuck Taylors and surround yourself with some financial advisers - You're going to need them by the time Tawanna's done with you. Oh, and stop trying to be a rapper....please!
2) Karma is a beautiful thing (if you're living right) - Take it from a guy who has lived his life with a chip on his shoulder, you're going to get more chips and fewer friends than the guy who lived a humble life of compassion and kindness. I don't like dropping names but guys like Tim Duncan immediately come to mind.
3) Love your woman - She'll love you back, I guarantee it. Its that simple. Well, maybe not that simple but its a good starting point to ensuring a long lasting and memorable marriage.
