Black Military Pioneer Dies At 85
Orphans In Rwandan Genocide Find Hope In Rural Village
Despite being linked for years to Kim Porter, the mother of his children, as well as to his rumored sidepiece, Cassie, Sean "Diddy" Combs recently opened up during an interview with 'Extra,' telling the celebrity news show that he has yet to find the "one."
"As far as me and marriage and finding true love, I haven't found that," says Diddy.
After two failed public relationships -- one with Jennifer Lopez -- the notorious bachelor and 'Get Me to the Greek' star appears to be pretty skeptical of the institution of marriage. Diddy is a father many times over, with six children by three women (five biological and one adopted), but he has yet to make the leap to husbandom.
"The whole thing of marriage has been, to me, abused. It's something that looks good for the tabloids. You make $2 million selling your wedding pictures, and it makes you look cool to your girlfriends or guy friends. But are you happy inside?"
The media mogul may be turned off by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood weddings, but there could be some hope for the women in his life. Diddy says he does plan to get married -- someday. "Sometimes the best way you can love someone is not marrying them. Because if I'm not ready, it don't have nothing to do with love. I'm gonna get married one day, and I'm gonna be right."
Hmmm, part of us feels that it's very noble of Diddy to wait until he's ready...while the other half feels he's just stalling. What do you think?

Who would wear Sean Jean. Promoting this total disregard to the sanctuary of marriage.
If he were a regular Joe, do you really think he'd get all this action.
Is he a good role model for his children? He will get married eventually. Why pay for the software, when he can download for free. "Right"

The way I was brought up and the way I'm bringing up my children, is that we don't have children without being married, you don't get hooked on drugs or drink excessively, and you don't defile your body by getting tattoos. Too many people don't care how they are seen by others

He can't be faithful anyway. I sure would not want him as a husband.

The "sanctuary" of marriage? Is that a wildlife reserve where all the endangered marriages go so that the National Geographic types can swarm in and save them from extinction? I think you may have meant "sanctity".

It takes a real man to put God first in his life. Submitting to the Lord Jesus Christ is the most attractive character a person can have these days. Someone truly standing on something and living their life out with genuine application of the Word. When Jesus returns, will He find 1 faithful?

I think that Diddy is doing the right thing. So many people rush into marriage because they are pressured and end up getting a divorce. Look at all the recent celebrities infidelities, maybe they should have stayed single and their reputation would not been tainted!

He is such an empty vessel; he has nothing more to offer a woman other than his money and a good time anyway-ask Jennifer Lopez. Who would want his sorry ass hand in marriage anyway?

An empty vessel....Sounds like your passing judgement on him, for no other reason than you dont fully understand him. There are countless people whom getting married, just because its the "thing" to do. He's upfront about his emotions, whether the women in his life like it or not, is up to them.
