Relationships Talk

Trouble in paradise for Melissa and Joe Gorga? It sure sounds like it, as Mrs. Gorga has revealed that she no longer wants to be the traditional Italian housewife that Joe Gorga has always pined for, and up until now, has been the foundation of their marriage.

Speaking to ET,  Melissa commented on her critically panned marriage advice book Love Italian Style: The Secrets of My Hot and Happy Marriage which instructed women to treat their husband “like a king so he’ll treat you like a queen.”  It seems that Melissa has finally caught up with the rest of modern society in the thought that her advice was sexist and outdated as she now says: 

“Like, I can’t believe it. I’ll probably go back and read the book and go, ‘Yeah, no.’ And that’s a true fact. It’s one of the things that, I’m being very honest, I struggle a lot with Joe over that.”

Advice in the book covered everything from not letting your husband know when you went to the bathroom to not wearing sloppy sweats around him. Melissa ended up doing a publicity tour defending a line in the book that many interpreted as marital rape, further putting the book in hot water. Needless to say, the book wasn’t a best seller.

It appears that Joe isn’t happy about his wife’s more modern role in the household as she further when on to reveal that they are not the picture perfect couple that fans see on screen:

“I feel like a lot of people don’t know that, and look at us like we are the perfect couple, but we do argue a lot. We argue a lot because I am such a working girl now. And he’s truly very traditional and he’s breaking into it slowly, but just me being here in L.A. for four days, you know, he’s losing his mind. So it’s like a very hard struggle.”

“I was so stuck in and being a traditional Italian girl, being stuck in like, ‘No, that’s what I want to do. I want to be a mom who cooks and cleans, and my husband will provide for me and that’s what every lucky girl gets in life, and that’s what I got.”

Joe clearly isn’t happy about his wife working as he has compared it to “making crumbs” and even told his daughter that Melissa basically just sits in the boutique all day. Nothing like having a supportive husband to help you achieve your dreams!

It’s clear that Joe wants a sexy wife who cleans, cooks and doesn’t leave the home as Melissa gave us details of their private struggles saying:

“We’re having these conversations about ‘man vs. woman. Why is it, like, you work all day, too, but I’m also gonna come home and do the laundry and cook and clean — and I know this sounds cliche and ridiculous, but this is a legit thing.”

“Like, I’m going to work, too. I need you to respect my work, even though I’m gonna be in glam for two hours. It’s also part of my work. For him, it’s a struggle to understand. He’s like, ‘Your work is fun,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m working’… Just because his work is in construction, it’s not as fun, I would say, as my work. So we go back and forth on that and just the roles in the house.”

“You know, it’s scary. I would be dead honest with this, and if he were sitting here, he would say the same… We are really battling it out right now.”

Are the two in serious trouble? Only time will tell but Melissa reveals that she now understands why people get divorced which isn’t a good sign:

“I’ve been on the show for eight years. I was [always] like, ‘We’re good, we got this. I don’t know what everybody else’s problem is, all these Housewives are getting divorces’… and then I’m like, ‘Oh, I get this. OK, we’re hitting a moment.’”

Thoughts on Melissa’s interview? Do you think she and Joe have what it takes to make it last?

New Delhi, Dec 5 (UNI) Bollywood diva Priyanka Chopra, who tied the knot with US singer Nick Jonas, on Wednesday said that she was fortunate to have as a life partner someone who did not expect hr to shift her focus after marriage.

‘’Women are always expected to have to shift their focus after love or marriage but Nick (Jonas) did not expect me to do that . I have never had a guy who has said be ambitious and do what u want to do,’’Priyanka said in an interview to a TV channel, her first interview after he marriage to the US singer.

On her Indian wedding to Nick Jonas, Priyanka chopra said the Jonas family was better prepared

‘’The groom side were more in number than we were . We were intimidated by the jonas’ . We were not all that prepared but they were well prepared,’’she said.

Priyanka said that for her the most special moment was when the curtains opened and she saw him (Nick) at the altar.

‘’Life was okay in that moment,” she said .

Talking about her wedding dresses, Priyanka said they were her personal choice.

‘’It wasn’t about fashion. I wanted something unique. Both the dresses- red and white- were personalized for me. I wanted the longest veil in the world and I gor that . The outfits were personal choices,’’she said in an interview to NDTV.

Asked for her advice on love, the actress said,’’don’t focus your energy so much on what people think of you, or what society says. Focus more on what your loved ones think of you. If we lived more in reality, life is really fairly simple.”

Priyanka tied the knot with Nick at a lavish ceremony at Umed palace in Rajasthan two days ago.

On Tuesday, the couple hosted a reception in Delhi for close family members and friends.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the special guests who graced the reception.

Advice: My perspective about this couple is that they use negotiation, rather than consensus, to advance their relationship.

DEAR AMY: I am close with my niece, who recently got engaged. Her now-fiance was up front, by saying he didn’t really believe in marriage. She was up front, too, saying that if he ever wanted to buy a house, her name would not go on a mortgage if they weren’t married. Not that she would break up with him — she would stay, but she would want a lease agreement rather than put her name on the mortgage.

Recently, he got serious about buying a house and my niece stuck to her guns — either get married or sign a lease. He proposed.

Now he says his grandparents have to be at the wedding. But they are almost 5,000 miles away and too old to fly, so he is insisting they get married where the grandparents live.

Amy, my niece’s father has advanced Parkinson’s disease and can’t possibly travel that far, either. In addition, 98 percent of both of their immediate families are being excluded from the wedding held in this remote location, because they can’t afford to get there.

I think he is being passive-aggressive because of my niece’s refusal to put her name on a mortgage without being married. This business of excluding her father and disenfranchising her entire family from the wedding is unconscionable.

I think he is purposely creating obstacles because he doesn’t really want to get married.

My niece has asked me for advice. She really loves him and wants to marry him, but she sees it as a stalemate on the location — I see a reluctant groom.

What should I tell her? — WORRIED AUNT

DEAR AUNT: My perspective about this couple is that they use negotiation, rather than consensus, to advance their relationship. I don’t think this is hugely uncommon. However, if this is the way they operate and communicate, your niece needs to be prepared for future stalemates, especially surrounding large life events that are already stressful. Have they talked about having children, how to share their expenses or future care issues having to do with their parents?

Her fiance’s choice doesn’t seem to honor her or her family relationships. In fact, unless he can suggest or agree to a compromise, his choice seems hostile.

Fortunately for you, this doesn’t concern you directly. When your niece asks you for advice, you could be both honest and circumspect, and say, “You two seem to see this as a stalemate on the location for your wedding, but I see it as being bigger than that. Have you had your premarital counseling yet?”

DEAR AMY: I recently received a postcard from the sheriff’s department stating that a neighbor is a “registered sex offender.”

The notification said his crime was committed 30 years ago and that he failed to register properly when he moved here. It does not state where the original offense occurred.

I’ve been on a neighborly first-name basis with him for several years in our community and he has always seemed like a nice enough guy, though I don’t know him well. I don’t feel threatened by him.

We waved and exchanged a “Hi” yesterday for the first time since I received the notice. I assume he knows all of his neighbors have received it.

I hate to display my ignorance, but what, if anything, has changed with receipt of that postcard? — WONDERING NEIGHBOR

DEAR NEIGHBOR: What has changed is your knowledge that your neighbor committed a crime against another person 30 years ago.

You can learn as much as is legally allowable by using the sex offender database to search your neighbor’s record. My own research reveals that there are different designations and “risk level determinations” assigned to sex offenders.

In my state, a person at the lowest risk level will get their name removed from the database after 20 years. Your neighbor might have committed a more serious offense to still be listed. The database might reveal specific details of his crime.

The postcard notification is specifically designed to inform people, so that you may then make your own determination regarding a relationship with this person in your community. So, after you do some research, the rest is up to you.

“I’m in this full off love in my mental 247 stage.”

In a since-deleted post on her Instagram which Cardi dedicated to her fiancé, she thanks him for seeing potential in her and molding her. “Jesus Christ I’m so emotional, @offsetyrn I loveee you so much .Thank you for seeing the potential in me since you met me. For giving me advice molding me and loving me,” she captioned the post.

“Your such a amazing man to me your family ,friends ,kids and you are extremely talented.I can’t wait to spend FOREVAAAA with you .Lets make a lot shmoney and love together.”
