Joy Behar Breaks Off Engagement

Back in March, Joy Behar revealed to her co-hosts on The View that she and her long-time boyfriend, Steve Janowitz, were thinking of getting married.  On Barbara Walters’ SIRIUS XM Radio show she said:  "I have been with a guy for 26-and-a-half years…  Somebody that I know lost her partner.  They were gay women.  And the partner was in the hospital, and she had to pretend that she was her sister in order to really deal with stuff.  I don’t want that to happen to us … and I also just feel that I want to."

Now, New York’s Daily News is reporting that the wedding is off:  "I’m getting my own talk show on HLN, so I don’t have to get married anymore.  Actually, I got cold feet again, so I don’t know what I’m going to do. It’s off the table. What’ll happen is, when I decide to do it, I’ll do it, and then everybody will know I did it. I can’t make up my mind."

In my own personal life, I’ve opted for a traditional marriage but I know a lot of people who simply choose to live together without going through with an actual ceremony.  I don’t think she should ever get married if she doesn’t want to unless, of course, it’s causing problems in her relationship.
