Bonaduce: "I Don't Want a Divorce -- This Sucks A$$"

61. OHHHHH, I just listened to the tape. Danny, believe me......

Gretchen found a new man! and probably a long time ago. Good for her! That is why she is being so nice. She knows that you ARE THE MOST INSECURE man in the world.

I am happy that she will never have to make stupid excuses to avoid sex with you, ever again. Now you can flex your fugly body and your repulsive firecrotch to whomever will take your bait. Enjoy.

63. 8. I guess she liked him better when he was a drunk

There's some truth to this statement. Sometimes, a partner gets addicted to the drama and can't relate when the drunk gets sober. Also, sometimes the drunk doesn't change so much and becomes a "dry drunk" which may be harder to cope with (can't excuse meaness by saying he was just drunk". Whatever the reasons, I wish both well and encourage Danny not to allow this to become his reason to fail in his sobriety. Life is hard enough straight and sober.

64. Having known Danny for over 32 years, and being in the Band, the Muddflaps with Gretchen for 4 years, I can say that this did come as a bit of a surprise. But knowing them both, I'm sure that this will be an amicable divorce, as I know that they still love each other very much. Of course are still holding out for a reconciliation.


My heart goes out to both of these great people and their children

65. Good for you Gretchen! I just hope Danny's not as crazy and manipulative as an ex-spouse as he was as a spouse. Even though he dated other women DURING their marriage, he'll probably be a total jerk if Gretchen dates or tries to have any sort of life AFTER their marriage. Sounds like a potential OJ Simpson situation. If I were her, I'd arrange to have a friend or someone over when Danny drops by to pick up the kids. Or arrange to call 911 at the press of a button. That guy is just plain damaged.

66. Go Gretchen! It is about time. Danny cannot seem to keep it together, so I am glad for the kids that Gretchen is finally doing something about it. Those kids don't need to grow up around that. Plus, even sober, you could see on his show that he has a volatile temper and other issues such as the steriod use. I hope that he can develop a healthy relationship with his kids, and continue to try and get help for his demons. They are definetely better off apart.

67. His wife is long suffering, but I believe Danny has been also.
Sometimes the chemistry created between two people is an ill brew no matter whether they love each other or not.
I hope Mr. Bonaduce moves on with positive steps, and I wish Gretchen good tidings.

68. It's a publicity stunt! With a new gig as a sidekick on a radio show and reality show on the way he needed some pump... Look for Divorcing Bonaduce on VH1 soon!

69. I'm sorry to see this happen. We met Danny and Gretchen at a private party in Boston when he accepted the Harvard Hasty Pudding Award. We happened upon Danny's bus and got invited into the party. I can tell you he was nothing but a great guy and Gretchen was wonderful. The party was fun and the band was great. It was at a time when they were trying very hard to rebuild their lives. I guess all I can say is things didn't go the way they planned. I have some good memories of that night and some great pictures. Thanks for the fun night Danny and Gretchen

70. Hmm . . . Danny always seemed totally normal to me . . . for a red-headed male with freckles, who, in my 55 years on this Earth, are all seemingly hyper-active, unruly, anti-social, psychopathic weird-o's.

71. FINALLY!!!

72. Danny can be incredibly bright, funny and insightful. His banter can be second to none; I have no doubts as to why he remains in the media. Things are never dull with Bonaduce.
However, I think that Danny's emotional maturity is far below what it should be, and this is what he's going to have to work on to become whole. He's self-indulgent, lacks self-control, doesn't foresee the consequences (short and long term) of his actions, is manipulative, self-centred and lacks empathy, or the ability to put oneself into the other's shoes. When he conquers these 'me, me, me' demons, he'll be the perfect guy. Go Danny. Sometimes the worst things that happen to you end up being the best things in the long run. With work, he may yet be able to have an equal and adult relationship with a different woman, which from what I've seen of his show, he has yet to have ever had; and it will be a revelation to him when he does.

Getting saved is not a complicated thing at all. Jesus Christ did all the hard work. All you have to do is come before God wherever you are and mean and say this simple prayer with all your heart to Him:

Lord Jesus, I call upon you right now. I am a sinner. Please forgive me of all of my sins. Wash me in Your Blood, cleanse me from all unrightheousness, come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I believe that you died for my sins, that you took my place, that God raised you from the dead and you are alive and seated at His right Hand. I am born again. Thank you for writing my name down in the Lamb's Book of Life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Thank you for saving me.

That's it. The Bible says that old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new. You are new creature in Christ Jesus. Now tell someone about your salvation. Get a Bible in a translation that you can understand. Talk to God every day. Find a bible-believing church and begin your glorious walk with God.

74. PLEASE this women is a manipulating, co-dependent bitch. If you watch the show she undermines his authority by her subtle comments to those kids and her behavior is questionable at best. He is no saint and there is plenty of room for him to improve, but she knew going into this he had drug and alcohol problems as well as his battles with manic depression. And now that he has done everything she asks she's leaving. F*&K her and her "christian beliefs" if she had left from the gate I would respect her doing it now just says to me she was waiting to collect his cash and residules on the show.
