In the case of Lauryn Hill it’s not vain, or even shallow. She didn’t change naturally, despite what she may want us to believe. You can tell, just like with Whitney, something else is going on. Sometimes mental ailments or distress manifest themselves physically; when we loose interest like that, I think it can be deeper than physical desire, I think it’s a subconcious awareness that signals, “hey this person isn’t healthy for themselves, let alone you!”

Now if a womn gains weight having your child, or you’re both just getting old, or an accident disfigures her, then she deserves your loyalty and love, but if she’s suffering from an “infection” that’s taking her away from who she is and threatening you…it’s time to go.

“You can’t love nobody if you can’t love yourself”, and if Lauryn’s 1st album was any indication as to who she was, then we can all tell, Lauryn has lost who she is!

I’ve been a member for a little while now, and this is my first comment.

I have a personal connection with this topic. I lost all physical interest in an EX before and I couldn’t bring myself to tell him that. I came up with a lame excuse that I wanted to practice abstinence because I didn’t want him to touch me!

I was 19 or 20 at the time so I’m giving myself and excuse lol.

@Ms CoCo
Yeah its unfortunate but I do feel they’re so many progessive blacks, especially in this area that we can reach back in provide direction and resources. I think this yr has been a wake up call because classcism was becoming so prevelant in the black communities. Hopefully that crab in the barrel mentality will subside a little now that we have a new president-elect.

Anyhow, what do you know about that Talib? Are you a NY’er?

So so true. With the people the way they are I can truly but sadly say I don’t see it happening in my lifetime. I hope to be proven wrong though.

@Ms CoCo
Thats real talk right there. Peer pressure and lack of identity due to fathers not being around is killin our kids mentality. We have too many mothers trying to raise men.
Even with a black president, even though its history, it’ll be a minute before we see changes unless we all take responsibility (volunteering, mentoring, big brothers and big sisters etc.) It doesnt stop with just voting. Our communities are in such a disarray right now. We need to look at the big picture.
