Good for Drew that she is keeping her private life private. Imagine having every detail of your life discussed on a forum or in the press.

Oh my! Now she's talking. I wonder who her advisor is, the one who told her to put one foot in front of the other.

This saddens me. I really thought she would make it. She even said that she her children to have family stability which is something she never had. Which could be why she's leaving.....now that she is experiencing it, she may not used to it and it feels foreign to her.

Also, she was in her mid 30s when she met Will and probably wanted kids before she got too old. Well, she has 2 now and he may have also been a sperm donor to her.

Correctionn of 2nd sentence: She even said that she WANTED her children to have family stability which is something she never had.

*Left out the word wanted in my original post.

50 percent of marriages fail. I have no clue why but this is. The cynical part of me feels like they want the excitement of the engagement,wedding, babies. Then when the work part comes into it they opt out. JMO only.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I, too, like Drew Barrymore, and was very sad to hear this. It's sad anytime a marriage falls apart and young children are involved. Hopefully they'll be able to co-parent well. I know many couples who have made better co-parents than marriage partners and sometimes, that's what best for all involved. The sad fact is that 50% of marriages end in divorce, who knows why since individual marriages are so complicated. My DH and I are still married to each other, next month it will be 38 years. I couldn't give you the reason why we're still together, we are still crazy about each other but there are days, as you all know, that you could just "walk out that door". At the end of the day, I'm thrilled to still be here. I do have to say that after raising two kids, which was hard enough, they're both out & on their own now, this has been the best time of our life, since we were first married without kids that is. I just hope our health holds out.

@Nancy Drew I don't know either. However, in my mother's day, many (maybe most) women felt trapped because the husband was the breadwinner and a lot of women couldn't support themselves and their children. So they were "trapped" and stayed with a husband whom they didn't really want to be with any more. Fifty-plus years ago, it was taboo to have children out of wedlock so if a woman wanted children or was already pregnant she had to get married. Women have a lot more options now and less need to stay with men if they realize the marriage is no longer working. IMO this is a big cause of the rise in the divorce rate.

Agree with so many of your comments. I read the NY paper post here, and it said something about her husband not being able to deal with her being more successful than him. I've read that's why a lot of celebrity marriages break up. Of course there were other factors at play, but some men seem to have a very difficult time with that. Drew is so lovely in that pic. She's a gorgeous woman.
