Rumours surround frostiness between the couple in recent months
Reports claim they are now sleeping in separate bedrooms
Notorious selfie with Danish PM was the 'last straw', sources claim
Newly-slim First Lady 'planning her own life' for after end of husband's term
While the White House has refused to comment on the reports there has been a distinct frostiness in the air between the couple in recent months. Their smiling poses look fragile, and scowls are more frequent than not. On holiday (top left) they slouched and didn't talk, and as her husband described his plans for ObamaCare (bottom right), Michelle raised a seemingly unimpressed eyebrow. The notorious selfie (aftermath pictured top right) was reportedly the last straw. The newly-slim First Lady seems to be soaring in self-confidence, showing off her figure in fitted designer gowns, and is said to be planning her own separate life after Barack's presidency ends.
Anna Gordy Gaye, composer, songwriter and entrepreneur, died Friday (Jan. 31). She was sister to Motown Records founder, Berry Gordy and the ex-wife of Motown legend Marvin Gaye.
Gaye was born Anna Rudy Gordy in Milledgeville, Ga., the third eldest of Berry Gordy, Sr. and Bertha Ida Gordy. Like many of her family members, she was a successful business person. She co-founded a photo concession at Detroit's Flame Show Bar and a label, Anna Records, with her sister Gwen and singer Billy Davis.
In her marriage to Marvin Gaye, which began in 1964 and ended in divorce in 1977, the couple had one child, Marvin Gaye III.
Anna Gaye is known to have greatly influenced her ex-husband's career, including co-writing songs with him for the Motown group The Originals (including the hit "Baby, I'm For Real"); co-composing two songs on his classic What's Going On; and inspiring such records as "Pride and Joy" and "Anna's Song" (the former was written during their courtship, the latter during a separation).
His album, Here, My Dear, was written during an especially troubled time in their relationship. By the '80s, however, the two reconciled their friendship and she began making public appearances with him again, including when he won his only two Grammys at the 1983 awards show. After he passed in 1984, she accepted his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on his behalf.
Her last public appearance was at a red carpet event with her brother, Berry, in 2008.
Gaye died of natural causes, in her home, around 3 a.m. Family members found her body.
Cheating, it’s probably at the top of the list of why relationships fall apart. The reasons behind it can be some of many: contempt, revenge, dissatisfaction, , etc. Sometimes cheating can be the necessary evil for a relationship that is falling apart to get the reality check it needs to come back together. While in other cases, it is the one thing that the relationship couldn’t withstand.
An interesting poll and commentary was done on Huffingtonpost.com that discussed men and women’s view on emotional vs. physical cheating. The conclusions were compelling and yet, different. It in fact plays on the idea that men and women think and feel differently.
For him, physical cheating is a game changer. Men relate to the physical more than most women do, and there for have a possessive and protective nature. Apparently, a man who realizes his partner has developed a physical relationship with someone else, simply put, feels emasculated. They feel a painful rejection. Even though no one wants to share their significant other physically, a man prides himself on the sacredness of what he shares with his woman’s body.
She is an emotionally driven creature, and therefore the physical isn’t quite as second nature to her. Physical interaction with another person is the lesser of the two evils. Emotionally driven cheating makes her feel likes she’s lost. It makes her believe that he has completely given up on the relationship. The way she looks at it, a physical rendezvous can happen for a number of reasons, but more importantly it can be a “mistake”. You can’t mistake a well contemplated emotional affair. In her mind there is no emotional cheating equivalent to a one night stand. This type of scenario entails a more calculated and elaborate approach to keep a secret.
So which do you feel is a more devastating breach of the “relational contract”?
Ultimately, relationships are about commitment, and if this can’t be done then people should re-evaluate their circumstance. Hurt feelings, angst, and resentment are slow killers. They eat away at relationships, and quite frankly whether it be emotional or physical cheating, you are bound to deal with at least one of the 3.

If the thought of having a dentist inject anaesthetic into your gums makes you flinch, the latest trend in body art is likely to have you turning away in horror.
