Am of the standing that these two (Rocko and MOnica) do not need to justify their relationship to anyone..doesn’t matter whether they’re in the spotlight or not. The minute you start explaining things, then you’ll be doing that for as long as you live… You can’t please everyone, but yourself. And what we should be asking is whether she’s happy with the way things are..people here seem to be assuming that she isn’t - based on the fact that she accepted his ring. But in this day and age - believe it or not - most women do not want to get married (more than men). She just may be one of them. I think what makes that hard to believe is the kind of woman Monica seems to be, or has portrayed herself as to the public. And that’s bringing the issue of ‘how can we respect her, if this is how she lives her life..’. I feel sorry for Monica, am sure she’s a nice person and doesn’t appreciate all this attention on her personal life. Anyway, i don’t think Rocko’s comments helped at all…they only fuelled the fire. Like everyone else, i also agree that he could have just acknowledged her and then closed the questions on that topic, rather than say something that dismisses her and their relationship all together. Hey-ho, Monica my prayers are with you. Don’t let the public determine how you live your life, you do what’s best for you and your children. That’s all that counts! That’s my 2 cents..LOL
