I agree. It is often better to be shown that you are well loved and your partner has your back than to hear the empty words and the actions don't correlate with the verbal expressions. I believe Darryl has said he loves Tempestt, and he is very intuitive with her, very supportive and he knows her...I mean really "gets her" as well as respects her. Not only as a woman, but as an individual personality,an actress or working woman, he respects her cultural beliefs and in addition to being just that into her, he can make her smile! In my opinion, they have one of the healthiest if not the healthiest and most balanced relationship on the show. Some of these couples are condescending, have chips on their shoulders, power struggles, underlying anger and resentment, and tantrums worse than the kids. At least Darryl and Tempestt don't have an audience yet. I know many people who have been in committed relationships or common law arrangments, and they have stood the test of time. Look at Oprah and Stedman...Although I believe in traditional marriage, I can honestly say that some marriages are far more detrimental than they are nurturing and long lasting these days. Its a shame that they rarely show Darryl and Tempestt...Ashley and Darryl are the most "real" to me. Billy can be a bit overbearing...he may be a ex military man, but sometimes, he is a 100% catty wuss.
LOL @ Darryl's comment to get the doggie some doggie advil...you gotta love it! He may not want to brush the cat, but he is still taking it in to be groomed and many men wouldn't be caught doing that PERIOD!
Darryl and Tempestt's humor and their commonalities are refreshing. I am so tired of moocher Dan and his ditzy lawyer wife...uggghh, her whinining gets on my last nerve!   See 3 other replies
