*Uh oh, it’s getting’ real deep between Will Smith and his significant other, Jada Pinkett Smith. As far as him making her happy. Dude has laid down the law and let her know that he’s not going to try and make her happy anymore. That’s HER job, he says. Hmm.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith have been married for 20 years and have two kids together so he just might be on to something.
Will believes (and we agree with him) that it should not be a person’s responsibility to fulfill the happiness of another person.
And if you think this is all his idea, you’re wrong. He says it was Jada who introduced him to this new found revelation. He adds:
“You cannot make a person happy,” he began. “You can make a person smile, you can make a person feel good, you can make a person laugh but whether or not a person is happy deeply, totally and utterly out of your control.”

He also says that one day he told his wife that he was officially done with trying to make her happy.
“I remember the day I retired. I said to Jada, ‘I retire, I retire from trying to make you happy. I need you to go make yourself happy and just prove to me that it’s even possible.’ After we cracked the hell up, we started talking about it and we came into this false romantic concept that somehow when we got married, we would become one. We realized that we were two completely separate people on two completely separate, individual journeys and that we were choosing to walk separate journeys, together.”
“Her happiness was her responsibility and my happiness was my responsibility and we decided that we were going to find our individual internal, private joy and then we were going to present ourselves to the relationship and to each other, already happy. Not coming to each other, begging without empty cups out demanding that she fill my cups and demanding that she meet my needs. It’s unfair and it’s kind of unrealistic and can be destructive to place the responsibility for your happiness on anybody other than yourself.”
