AGREED! I think their “friendship” MUST have been strained for quite some time…perhaps from the very beginning in fact, but Jennifer never picked up on it or never gave herself a break from it. Jennifer being honest for a change with how she feels about Chad, was perhaps for Evelyn, the straw that broke the camel’s back. I mean think about it….NONE of Jennifer’s so called “circle” of friends ever really encouraged her to seek counseling with her husband and for herself, spend more time with her man, or take time to sort things out before actually ending her marriage. They gave the whole HURRAH about “cleaning out the cobwebs down there…” and saying things like she “needs to find a man that will treat her right…”….on and on and on and yet MOST of them NEVER MARRIED OR EVEN GOT ENGAGED to their past “baller man”….and I’m sure we’ve all heard and read about Shaunie’s fiasco that resulted in SHAQ filing for divorce initially. I mean really….are these truly the women she should have been taking advice from in regards to HER marriage when she was the ONLY ACTUAL WIFE on the show of Basketball “WIVES”? she honestly doesn’t come off as a woman of common sense AT ALL. I think honestly if Jennifer was able to allow herself to resolve issues she had with her husband, she seemed like she would’ve preferred to stay with her husband. Yet it seemed like she went more with her “friends’ ” words and opinions as oppose to her husband’s moods and listening to him when he finally spoke on his feelings in regards to how he sees her in their marriage…LIKE SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHETHER TO COME OR GO. I think that’s what contributed to most of his nonchalant “don’t care” behavior that was shown in the first season towards her. He really seemed to have regretted his behavior and infidelity moment(s) as it appears in later seasons but felt she was being influenced by her miserable “circle” to behave in the manner that she did later in their marriage, and also her inability to move past the infidelity (hence, a subject she is constantly reminded of by her “friends”….how can she attempt to move forward?). now of course everyone deals with infidelity in his/her own way and Jennifer did discuss issues she had with her parents’ marriage in regards to her father’s infidelity and such. but really, she married him KNOWING he cheated on her THREE WEEKS BEFORE THEIR WEDDING so why make a big issue of it now, when you very well had the opportunity to call it off then? now, if I have watched Jennifer enough, I will conclude that she really went with HER FRIENDS and chose to “party” with her lowly miserable bunch and I bet she WILL regret (if she hasn’t already) her decision in not making more of an HONEST effort to work out her marriage which really….it seems like she would’ve wanted to do it but didn’t have the right type of motivation/influences in her corner from the beginning. Hell…perhaps she shoudn’t have married him in the first place but O.K. now that she did, why NOT make it work. later, her mind was already “Evelynfied” by the time that type of couple (the friends/MARRIED baller couple that she and Eric had dinner with and Jennifer decided to act out in front of them causing Eric to leave) came along. now Evelyn has a new “relationship” with a baller man again and doesn’t want to hear Jennifer’s more realistic opinion about him…what an interesting twist….and had the nerve to call Jennifer jealous. Yet now, I’m getting to the root of the “sudden rift”….I think Evelyn envied Jennifer all along and well…Jennifer apparantly was/is easy to manipulate and Evelyn fed off of that and is now attempting to live the life that Jennifer once had with her HUSBAND and not merely end up being a fiance’ of 10 years again….THAT’S why she doesn’t want to hear Jennifer’s opinions. plus Jennifer is no longer appealing to Evelyn now that she’s going around playing “party girl” before and during her divorce party that she gave herself before she was even officially divorced….I mean come on Jennifer. in other words, Jennifer is looking as common and utterly miserable as they are or worse….Jennifer now has NO MAN, NO LIFE, NO MORALS. and to top it off, Jennifer doesn’t even have a child with her husband/ex-husband. would she still look like or be someone you would want to be like or in regards to this particular group of “women,” would you envy her now? Thinking about it, I think that’s also the issue Evelyn had with Gloria….SHE wanted to have what Gloria portrayed to be a good life with her fiance’ with the home and respecting the privacy of her relationship and having his babies. but you see, Gloria wasn’t easy for Evelyn to manipulate so she wasn’t able to turn Gloria out like frankly Jennifer allowed Evelyn to do to her. now, Evelyn suddenly wants to have twin boys with her “fiance’ “…like Gloria has with Matt. in addition, look at how Evelyn practically celebrated when she heard that Gloria and Matt called off their wedding. Evelyn is in search of a life FAR from what she was dealt growing up but the only way she seems to know how to go about getting it is by giving herself to wealthy men (think about how SHE FLEW DOWN TO SEE CHAD for their first date…not the other way around…and slept with him ON THE FIRST DATE). It’s interesting that most of us can draw this conclusion (and frankly would probably be on point) in a few seasons, and Jennifer couldn’t conclude this throughout her years of “friendship” with Evelyn.
