Yesterday, a little birdie chick-a-dee told me that Jenny McCarthy and Brian Urlacher
split. I wanted to hold off on writing about it until it hit the
tabloids which it did today. People confirmed the two called it quits
and will be, in Jenny’s words, turning their romance into an amazing
friendship.
Earlier
this month, I blogged about how Jenny was moving to Chicago. Though she
said her decision had nothing to do with Brian, most of us didn't believe her. I suspect he didn’t either. True, Jenny has family there.
But, there was no mention of her crossing half a continent prior to
dating Brian. I knew it wasn’t a good idea for her.
People
who commented on the breakup said it was because of her appearance in
Playboy. I disagree. The shoot was in
the works way in advance. Had Brian wanted to jump ship because of that, he would’ve done so before she even left Los Angeles for Chicago. This is why I think it was because of her move. I doubt it sat well with Brian. He probably felt a lot of pressure on their
relationship and was unable to commit in the manner she expected.
Notice,
too, how Brian never said a word about their relationship. It’s always Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, talking, talking, talking, about
how she’s giddy, will be tailgating at every game, and be his biggest
cheerleader from here on out. She gave him loyalty he neither deserved nor asked for. He never even publicly acknowledged her. One photo of them circulated. Aside from that, their romance only meaningfully existed in her world. She didn't even need to announce their break-up.

You’re
probably reading thinking, “Ok, Vanessa, I get it. You think Jenny messed
up. So what?” My point is that you pay when you don’t play hard-to-get with a
man from the start. Not only will you lose him, but,
worse, you have to start over.
Here’s
what I mean. Even though you’ll survive the break-up and definitely
live to see another day (you're a Platinum Girl after all), you’ll have to wait to meet someone you like and then hope they like you back. This can take a long time for those who are picky (which is fine) and getting a relationship off the ground can take awhile. True, there are a lot of fish in the sea. But, it's not always easy finding a connection with that one certain fish.
This is especially true for women in their 30's hoping to marry and have children. The older you get, the pickier you are -- this goes for men, too. Once you find someone you like, focus and bring your 'A' game to the table.
You cannot mess these things up. Do not be impulsive and see him last minute because he's in your neighborhood. Do not "live for the moment" and sleep with him on the first date. If you want a long-term relationship, you have to play for the long run which means slow and steady wins the race. No mistakes and you won't have to start over.
I dedicate this post to Alayna. Thank you for everything.

Tell me what you think! Why did Jenny and Brian stop seeing each other?
Until next time...
Shine like Platinum!
