Emetic Ellen DeGenerate is the "failure". She is so ugly, she thinks she's a man.

I have been following Bethany since the first day she was on Housewives. I'm sorry her marriage isn't working out, she deserves the happiness after her unhappy life. But I'm glad she's had such financial success after all her hard work.

I think she was brave for going on to Ellen and talking about this very emotional subject. I am also divorced. Women should not feel like failures if our marriage does not work. How many women in the past stayed with poor marriages because they felt they had to or they had no other choice. She can still co-parent her daughter as I do my three sons. I think Bethenny is so direct and real that I love her openness. A lot of people are uncomfortable with this but it's about not being perfect and acknowledging both pain and emotion.

Bethenny always felt like a failure. By letting viewers watch her on TV with her psychiatrist, it was obvious that she was obsessed by not being able to please her mother and always felt deeply that she was a failure. I knew then that her husband to be was in for a rocky ride. Bethenny has become her mother and little Bry will probably suffer for this. Bethenny treated her husbands parents like dirt. It was apprent that he was from a family that stayed together which Bethenny emotionally never had. It's was sad to see how awful she treated him when she couldn't have her way. Her constant analytical nagging ways was so annoying. For her to go on Ellens show and shed crocodile tears was unemotional for me. No pity party here...Jason will be better off without the drama Bethenny strives on.
