If it´s done to someone else it can and often is done to you no matter what you do.

Sometimes things have run it´s course, no matter what position you play.. when a man begans to wonder he´s looking for something new anyway. So first or second you gone get played if you stay!! And that´s real

I don´t like the direction the show is going. MJ should be a woman most black women can admire. We see enough negative images about black women everyday. We dont need to see a successful, educated black woman glorifying being a booty call. There is already a decline in two parent black households without our own TV networks making infidelity ok.

Progression is going to happen, obviously.

I don´t know any women who would sit next to their husband´s mistress and not make her ass a patient at the local hospital. Then the speech was a kick in the face to his punk wife. At this point it´s not about the man anymore. It´s about Mary Jane being an ole bold bitch! This show is going to get some side trick a head full of stitches because they´re going to imitate MJ.

art imitates life LMAO

I saw it…smh ok. What she ment was the second will always be one up becuz she have failed and now knows what it takes to win and maybe can show #1 a thing or two since #2 has watched and learned #1. Failures flaws that #2 now had a chance of winning. She didnt mean always be the under dog or just stay content. U must learn what it takes to be #1 and u can learn if your always #1 #2 has the key becuz they failed..they know the rules now.

Backwards, backwards, backwards thinking…. Smh- we gotta stop this backwards teaching that its acceptable to make a negative situation OK just because it makes us feel better about ourselves. Hope MJ figures that out.

MJ is turning out to be a parody of the educated dumb girl. Her success lies in her midsection – in between her legs from her purse to behind. So her mind is truly vacant and her feet stay stuck in the repeat cycle. Cute but dumb as a box of pop rocks. The wife was just polite – this time. She is still in love with the cheater and hoping it will work out so she clamped her mouth down. But, a wife who knows her worth would’ve blasted MJ at the table in front of everyone – she is the million dollar fund raiser and sitting in the seat of power. MJ would’ve had to find herself a new social circle at the local Starbucks – more on her level. Her and Andre. A woman who has her pedigree and "married down" would insist that she annihilate him and drop him off broke, without a career, a social pariah and on suicide watch at MJ house the day he mumbled "Divorce". D-who? If the writers are good.. they are elevating the side-piece to drop kick her at the pinnacle of her come-up. Who wants to be Andre’s #2 who he elevates to #1? He cheats on #1. How stupid can you be.

This episode is true! That’s how many mistresses feel about the wife. We often hear the quotes:( she ain’t handling her business in the bedroom, What she won’t do another woman will,etc.) Just willing believing all the lies the man is telling them in order to feel good about what they are doing. MJ knows she is wrong. If she didn’t feel that way (Why hide him and ask her brother to keep it a secret)

It irked me to no end! Mary Jane smiling hard, happy at another woman heartache cause he said he divorcing his wife.

I wanted to smack her! (Which let’s me know it’s a good show and it doing exactly what it set out to do)

Avery is very vulnerable at this point because she wants tI’m waiting for Avery to step up,show up,and show out and teach Mary J a valuable lesson.

I don’t foresee Wayne Brady character being anything more than friends.

AND

MJ mother is getting on my last nerve, She falsely accused the woman of stealing and playing games. The dad looks as if he is getting fed up and ready to bounce.

I think anyone with an ounce of sense knew that the speech was directed more at the wife of the woman whose husband she is still sleeping with, and not so much business, the business was the analogy she was using to their situation, I mean anyone who takes these shows to heart in the way of advise has a serious problem..think about it.. her character is a slut bag with money..don´t get me wrong it´s entertaining, but who would listen to a word that comes out of this character´s mouth at face value??

Divorce is real, and some marriages are not meant to last. Why have your childern grow up in a miserible environment whenre mommy & daddy hate each other, just for the sake of having two parents in the house.

The writing on this show is great. Loved the exchange between MJ & the wife. Even loved how the husband broke it down at the end on why he’s with MJ. He’s feeling like he supported his wife for all the years, gone along with everything that she’s wanted to do, but doesn’t feel that same support back from her.

I just wish MJ would date other men. Not sit around waiting on her married boyfriend.

This is just a show…entertainment..it’s not glorifying being dirty but showing you what’s going on in this world…this really does happen. One could only hope that whatever young girl watches the show, she will see the mental BS that one has to go thru just for a "him"…but to see how he display WHY he cheated…clearly points out that it’s not so much the wifes fault, but his own. So try and educate yourself on the the mishaps vs shaming the show. I"m sure there’s a turning point to Mary Janes madness… And for the ones that claim to not wanna support it any longer…lets see these same people reply on next weeks show.

I thought the speech was dumb but i think the writers purposefully did that bc that´s what ppl look like to the rest of us when they r in those situations…dumb and immoral…even AFTER some of us have already been there…..it is not until bs comes after that we stop finding ways to justify those type of actions

I watch this show thinking it was totally about something else. I do know the part when they were in counseling and he mentions she like the old him from 10 years ago shyt I like my ex from years ago too but shyt Tens years ago I was 19 _20 also to my ex was already 40. But aI think he wont leave his wife he been putting up with her this long why stop now plus how he know Mary Jane wants to marry him. But of course she does then again she may just want good sex without the number1 title and thats really why her speech was about number 2. I think her brother is correct its a addiction for her to be with this married man and she going on this ride enjoying the high.

Gabby knows a lot about bring #2 since she was with Dwayne wade while he was still married to his wife that was very obvious. Oh if you go back and google pics of gabby and wade at a private beach trying to walk apart from
Each other (dummy’sTMZ is everywhere lol ) and timeline you will figure out they were sleeping with each other. Lets not forget her rendezvous with Jason Kidd while he was still married to his wife jowanna. It’s almost like she can’t help herself. Being Mary Jane is her real life playing out for the world to see but she’s too dumb to realize that producers are shading her lol. I don’t feel sorry for her current situation with wade having a baby on her cause what comes around goes around

I think the show is great! The reality is that this happens everyday! Mary Jane is a real woman and I would not choose to be # 2 a lot of women get caught up. Kerry Washington part was actually written for a white woman. She just happened to act so well she got the part. Millions of women watched Sex and the City and they were white woman who slept with everyone. When Carrie Bradshaw first got with Mr. Big he was married, and no one demoralized her a person. No one can take anything from your race unless you allow them too.. As a black woman who works in corporate America. There are plenty of side white pieces..

*blankly stares at the tv*

How the hell did Gabby get them to greenlight a dramatic series about her struggle relationship? And what kind of punk bish nucca tell his jumpoff about how his wife failed to launch?

That was the dumbest shit I have ever read and we all now less intelligent for having been exposed to it.

Hmmm!!! yes side chics are triffling. So is every side chic in the bible, every side chic in history that became queen, and many of the wives you admire once was side chics. Nothing to argue about or discuss there nothing new aboout it. Men have women they dump/stray for something new/femeliar that comes along. Women need to learn and keep it moving, you cant figure out a man but if he is in love with you it helps. Remember he can love you but not be in love with you. So make sure your man loves you more than you love him and you might stand a chance of always being number one… for there will always be a two even if its not sexual believe that!!!
