Sinead O'Connor Just Beat Kim Kardashian's Record
In a shocking turn of events that nobody saw coming, Sinead O'Connor's marriage to the sweet-faced tenhead man lasted just a second longer than 7 hours and 15 days. Sinead announced on her blog last night that she is quitting Barry Herridge after being married to him for a total of 18 days. Sinead writes that because Barry's family pushed hard pressure on him (the same way a peen pushes hard pressure into Sinead's asshole to turn her difficult brown into easy brown) to leave her ass, she has decided to end their love. Here's a piece of what Sinead wrote on her site last night:
Within 3 hours of the ceremony being over the marriage was kyboshed by the behaviour of certain people in my husband's life. And also by a bit of a wild ride i took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night as I don't drink. My husband was enormously wounded and very badly effected by that experience and also by the attitude of those close to him toward our marriage. It became apparent to me that if he were to stay with me he would be losing too much to bear. And that being with me was not going to serve him positively , career wise or any other wise. I saw his life leave him because of how people close to him reacted. And I can't take anyone's life. And a woman wants to be a joy to her husband. So.. U love someone? Set them free.He is a wonderful man. I love him very much. I'm sorry I'm not a more regular woman. I truly believe though it is painful to admit, we made a mistake rushing into getting married, for altruistic reasons, and weren't aware or prepared for the consequences on my husband's life and the lives of those close to him. He has been terribly unhappy and I have therefore ended the marriage. I think he is too nice to do so. And too nice to trap.
He is as I said, a wonderful man. We part amicably. I wish him to be free and happy and loved and supported and for him to have privacy as that is utmost important for his job and for the children he treats as a therapist so I plead on theirs and his behalf for media to please leave him and his family alone. I really beg this.
You know, not all loves are meant to last forever. Barry spent his honeymoon doing some Pineapple Express shit while looking for some weed all over Las Vegas and I'm sure if he rubs his peen really hard and puts his hand to his nose, he can still smell Sinead's difficult brown. That is real love right there. And what I've learned from Sinead's ten second queef of a marriage is to always keep the name of a good weed man in every city on file.
• 
There is something I dislike about this woman. I think part of it is that, for all her outspokeness and bluntness, and over-eagerness to discuss certain risque topics, she just doesn't seem especially HONEST to me.I don't beieve her statement about why the marriage ended for a moment: I don't think there was any "love" or respect between them, at all; I think they were virtual strangers to each other, who married on a thoughtless and irresponsible whim, not caring how it might effect others or each other at the time. I don't think unselfishness and concern for other people's happines are among her strong points, and her attempt to convince people of the nobility and purity and selflessness of her devotion for this man just rings entirely false. Meanwhile, I don't think she's thought twice (or once) about how her very purposefully public, immature to bizarre behavior is effecting her children. Maybe that's why i can't care for her: as much as she wants love for *herself*, I don't think she is a particularily caring, loving mother to the people who actually need her.
Looking at the wedding photos, I thought, "oh, no...." but was still hoping for the best. SHe looked manic to the hilt, and I imagine she feels pretty low now. Say what you want but Sinead really paved the way for a kind of rawness and female subversion and honesty that wasn't happening in the mainstream....
I know manic depression, and I do wish Sinead the best.

Just feel the sads and confusion when I read about Sinead and controversy. Feeling like she went through some early childhood/early adulthood shit and it really fucked w/ her. That's not to excuse taking your newlywed hubs to a maniacle wild-ride weed hunt, nor is it an excuse for her talking ONLINE about her sx needs while raising kids, but, something is just off in a 'beyond-her-capacity-beyond-her-will' kind of way. Not sure if I make sense, but, I just feel "worried" about how some things will eventually affect her ability to complete the practical, day-to-day child-rearing or other long-term commitments. Sads.

People can say whatever they want, but once there is marriage, things change. Once the law is involved, it is much harder for both parties to just up and leave. And what society expects of a married couple is higher than what they expect for an un-married couple. And once women make as much money as men do, there will be even fewer marriages.

Haven't laughed so hard in my life than when I first read MK's entry about Sinead looking for a man & the difficult brown. Crying with laughter.
I though someone had hacked into her account, but evidently not. She can write!

Motherhood is fucking hard and dont let anyone tell you different. Giving birth was relatively easy for me with the blessings of modern pharmaceuticals but those first six weeks postpartum? Fucking hell!! Breastfeeding? Terrible and tearful until we got the hang of it. I can honestly say it was the hardest thing I ever did but it also was hands down the most rewarding. I found strength in myself that I didnt know I had. I dont feel superior to women who dont have children because I try not to be holier than thou in general but I understand why some women do merely because of the trail by fire, sink or swim requirements of taking care of a totally dependent little life.
omfg. this fool isn't insane -but oh how she wishes she were and oh how she loves that you'd think that.
she's lame & insecure and she fucking knows it -hence the attention seeking "shock"(& yawn) antics.
big failure because she never could sustain herself as what she billed herself to be.

@baconslut -- inquiring minds indeed! LOL -- I remember a story from years ago regarding ridiculous overuse of lubricant on a particularly 'difficult brown' (they were young, and I suspect given how much they claimed to have used, they must have been idiots too) resulting in a slip-n-slide situation and injury ending in the ER for a sprain. Another similar story involves less lube, but does involve the rarely-discussed but potential... ahem... laxative effect of too much lube. 'Nuff said.
All I can tell you is that Sinead's idiosyncratic focus on that subject simply opens far too many doors for my imagination. I'd rather know the truth, boring though it may be, than allow my mind to wander where it would rather not.
And if the rumors are true that Sinead is off her meds, that explains everything. There are many celebrities appearing on DListed that NEED their meds -- and she is definitely in that rarified group. Get that girl some Lithium STAT!

Sinead announced that she was off of her bipolar meds and feeling great a few months ago so this doesn't surprise me coming from her. I'm more interested in why therapist dude married someone he had to know was in a manic phase. He must be some kind of fanboy stalker that got in at the right time and now he's over it.

Baconslut - buttsecks... yes, I was figuring as much, but is her 'brown' particularly more difficult than other's 'browns'? I sense a story here that involves heavy use of lubricant or broken peens upon attempted peen-a-tration.

Okay - I've gotta ask: What's with the "difficult brown" situation? OBVIOUSLY I was absent the day that fabulous story passed the Dlisted headlines because I don't remember that.
Sinead has always been massively fucked up in the head, so whatever it is, I'm sure, will come as no surprise. To show you how far behind the times I am, I last recall Sinead was into pussy -- so back to peen now, but from the back end?
This girl's a whole lotta fucked up, huh?
Jeez.

She was looking for more then weed. Sinead needs to get to a shrink, get some meds and get herself back on track before she ends up in the psych ward or the morgue.

Motherhood is the most oppressive institution of them all.
Why do women choose to do it?
------------------------------------
When the discussion turns to motherhood, most mothers I know list every reason why I would be completely terrified to have children, and then say it's the most rewarding thing in the world. I'm not sure I'll ever understand.
---------------
They want to show that they are superior:
"most rewarding"= "you couldn't possibly understand, therefore I am better than you"
"listing reasons to be terrified" = "you couldn't possibly understand, therefore I am better than you"
They want to have their cake (superiority) and bitch about it too. With the praising it and complaining at the same, it's one big "I am a mother, your argument is invalid".
The ones who go on and on about how great it is, are like the celebs droning on and on about their perfect relationships and fabulous sex lives. They are trying (too hard!) to convince themselves as much as they are trying to convince others.
Meanwhile, you know some of the women (not all) became mothers against their will(!) due to drunken sluttery, or absent, faulty or "forgotten" birth control. But they are still better than you, will become enraged at even the suggestion that they are not, and will never miss an opportunity to remind you that they have given birth.
That's what I call a nice, responsible family.

"It's funny and sad at the same time. I can't hate on Sinead. She seems pretty benign, even if she's batshit.
It sounds like she needs some therapy and meds and not just kind green for the difficult brown"
Good catch! I like her too and I like her honesty even if it is a little mental. That's what happened and she laid it all out.
re: psycho weed wild goosechases...exactly why I'd think that sort of behavior pattern would manifest in some other way before the wedding. people who spend their wedding nights hunting for Pootie's house off the off-strip in Vegas usually don't make wise and sound choices in other aspects of their lives. I don't understand how in the world you wouldn't take ample time to get to know someone, to check out the behavior patterns and things of that nature, before you make a lifetime committment to someone. what do these people think a marriage is? ridiculous.
I think she just realized he's a bottom...

If you've ever been friends with a drug addict, you know what she's talking about when she says Wild Ride and you know how he feels.
----------------
I get it, totally. Addicts can be psychotically single-minded when in active pursuit of their chosen substance. We're also manipulative as hell when we're active. I owed a shit-ton of people apologies when I got sober.
I've been on both sides for that particular ride, and it's not pleasant either way. Sure, she was just looking for "a little weed," but as Hekki has said, even a psychological dependence can make you completely blind to common sense, to say nothing of the person in the car with you to whom you just got married. Selfish, yes, but also really, really sick.

That was me, in my pothead days. My poor BF would have to start calling Dave, our dealer, when the stash started getting low. I TORmented him. I know pot isn't addictive, per se, but I was definitely psychologically dependent on it back then.
If you've ever been friends with a drug addict, you know what she's talking about when she says Wild Ride and you know how he feels. That's some disgusting bullshit to pull on him on their wedding night - making calls, driving all over, waiting for people, talking to people walking into a house/apt. bldg., waiting, making more calls, driving across town, stopping red cars in a certain area, "Are you Bungie?" Hanging out in front of Bungie's house until it looks like the cops are coming up the block, then driving around and coming back .... To drag someone through this wonderland on their wedding night ... insensitive bitch.

I'm reading between the lines here but i'm thinking the 'wild weed ride' could have been crazed Sinead taking the baby faced husband almost as hostage as she manically drove round looking for weed against his will...
--------------------------
That's more or less what I'm thinking, too. Like I said earlier, I can imagine her going more and more ballistic with every failure to come up with some smoke. I know some potheads who are the LEAST mellow people on the face of the earth if they don't have their stash.
I'm reading between the lines here but i'm thinking the 'wild weed ride' could have been crazed Sinead taking the baby faced husband almost as hostage as she manically drove round looking for weed against his will, all the time scareing him to death. The behaviour of his family was probably them objecting to her craziness and nearly killing him.
I can't see a mature, balanced adult dumping a fellow mature balanced adult on their families say so unless one of them is in fact deranged. I think she needs proper medical help, not a string of relationships.
Media relevancy achieved!
Expect a new album in 5... 4...
also, if she's into weed that much she a) should have multiple connections and b) some dealer or friend should have given her a phat bag for her wedding.
people don't bother to, you know...get to know each other before they get married? don't they know they're getting married? the shit is supposed to be at least semi-permanent, not a really long and expensive date.
team marriage is wonderful but, you know, ask a couple of questions beforehand. O_o
I love being married. And I don't apologize for that.

Migraineuse has given me a lot to think about, as always.
Personally I like being married and would like to see it be available to everyone. And I DO believe that gay marriage is a threat to traditional marriage and that's a GOOD thing!
Migraineuse - how about this?:
Motherhood is the most oppressive institution of them all.
Why do women choose to do it?
That's too bad because she seemed happier (she looked happy and lost a ton of weight) and just seemed healthier. But she has a point - someone who is very grounded probably wouldn't be very happy with someone famous and/or batshit crazy. At least she's self-aware.
In my book having kids with someone is the ultimate form of commitment. Compared to that, getting a marriage license is merely a formality. Love is love, with or without legal papers.

You may love your husband sincerely, but if you ever stopped loving him, or he left you for some younger hotter thing, your lifestyle would take a dramatic downturn. Not just emotionally, but socially and financially.
***************************************************
Actually you are incorrect. I earn far far more than my husband and were he to leave me I would be emotionally devastated yes, but it would not effect me financially nor socially. I happen to be a strong independent woman who can take care of herself. I married the man I love to share my life with not to complete me or take care of me. Assuming woman are victims of their situations via a society that doesn't value women further devalues them. If you truly feel this way about the very positive experiences that can come out of a loving union (hetero or homosexual)you are the victim not the women whom you think are indentured.

Why on earth would you say that? You do know women marry for reasons other than financial, right? I for one married because I love my husband regardless of his financial worth.
___________________________________________
In a society where men and women are nowhere near equal in status, property or earning power, marriage is (and has always been) about the legal ownership of women. Romance is just the candy coating slapped onto slavery to make the bitter medicine go down.
You may love your husband sincerely, but if you ever stopped loving him, or he left you for some younger hotter thing, your lifestyle would take a dramatic downturn. Not just emotionally, but socially and financially.
In a just world, there'd be no need to marry, because every individual would have enough to survive without signing up for indentured servitude to a more dominant person.

He probably would have been too nice for her even if it lasted. I doubt he was into kinky sex. Hopefully she'll find someone who will 'get' her. When you marry someone, you truly do marry the whole family. Look at the family and if you don't like them before, you aren't going to like them after.
-------------------
This is probably awful, but I've broken up with people because of that issue. You are so right. If you can't stand each other before the marriage, marriage isn't going to make it any better..you're stuck with them for life. It makes for awkward family gatherings. Better to avoid it all.
