I mean I know we will never know what broke them to the point of divorce but, I just feel if it was ‘very painful’ and he still ‘loves her’ then why the split? Did they try therapy? It’s just sad.

Sometimes love isn’t enough and sometimes the love is the wrong kind of love (ie more friendly love or love because she’s mother of his children love). People change over the years and they probably just found what brought them together originally wasn’t there anymore or wasn’t enough to keep them together. They were sorta young when they first met. You change SO much in your 20s and sometimes the changes don’t mesh together or the changes become too different. My father was married once before and still loved her and found it painful, but he wasn’t IN love with her anymore and being together was worse for both of them. Plus, I know lots of people whose parents have divorced and said they wished they did it while the parents were still on good terms, before it got ugly….

Jennie Garth has been quite outspoken about her breakup with Facinelli. She did not want to divorce. It may be a painful experience for him, but he was the one who wanted to end the marriage, not her. And from her comments, Garth is far from doing fine. She is devastated and there kids were heartbroken when they told them they were splitting. I know the popular belief is that you should never stay together for your kids. Maybe that’s true, but perhaps you at least owe to them to try every way possible to work through the issues, at least until they are older. I hope that Facinelli had a really good reason to break up his family – and not happy isn’t good enough.

Sheelly nice reply, but I think one of them found someone new and that was it. Maybe they neither of them was looking for anyone else but it just happened.

So tired of the narcissistic generations these days. Me, me, me. I am speaking of some of the replies to this article, not the two who broke up. I don’t know their situation. BUT, if Facinelli broke up with Garth because he ‘found someone new’. That of course, is total crap. When you have kids, you GIVE UP your right to indulge yourself first. But again, we don’t know anything of their personal situation. Although celebrities of Hollywood, as a rule, always seems bent on doing publicity stunts, including marriages and divorces, so impossible to know the sincerity of Facinelli. As I grow older, I see younger generations know less and less the meaning of LOYALTY and ENDURANCE and INTEGRITY. It’s all about instant gratification and the belief that there always must be something better around the next corner. And somehow, most young folks seem to have no problem lying through their teeth these days OR talking down about their “friends” behind their friends’ backs. With attitudes such as these, how can any couple survive these days? Maybe there are just too many choices today and so the value of each individual’s worth is lost in the process. Back in the time of small towns and horses, think you HAD to make things work, because there just wasn’t a plethora of choices as to mates within a reasonable traveling radius.
Anyway, LOADS of reasons, but just typing off the cuff here. But that Shelby person just made me shake my head as the exact type of profile of a human that is so misled and obviously does not understand the depth of loyalty and commitment a marriage is SUPPOSED to be about. What an attitude. Oh well, just met someone new. As long as you aren’t looking for it, it’s supposed to excuse the whole infidelity issue?? Oh my god, what a load.
