Marriage and Separation

I am so sad to learn that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey parted ways. As a guilty-pleasure US and People magazine reader or picture-looker, it makes me sad to see this ultra-cute couple break up as I always thought they were such a storybook twosome destined for a long life together in a house full of good-looking strong-voiced singing children. Plus, Jessica is a Cancerian just like me so even though she's a so-called ditzy blonde and is sometimes slightly annoying, I feel an affinity with her.

We don't know what happened behind closed doors, what led to the dissolution of this marriage, God only knows that marriage in this day and age must be hard, especially if two people have such demanding careers that don't allow them to be together to have a marriage. But it still makes me sad because I thought this was one young couple whom I thought would actually make it through after a longterm relationship and three years of marriage. It is also too bad that it had to happen right around the holidays when big life changes have a tendency to happen, but the holidays make it triple-hard and more lonely than ever. Good luck and good will to them during these times.
