Members Juliajms Posted April 19, 2016 Members Share Posted April 19, 2016 I've noticed the latest PR spin is for people to say they are going to continue to be a family. I don't think I've seen divorce work like that even once in my entire life. Not really. I've seen people stay cordial and manage to co- parent of course, but even that is relatively rare. The older I get the more PR spin makes me roll my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 I don't understand JJ. They have clearly been living apart for over a year (LW's statement) and are now divorced. They don't have a strange living arrangement where they are co-parenting in the same house. Looks as if LW got the house from the pics she's posted.

Members Juliajms Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 I was just nit picking the part where it says they will remain a family of four. It's new thing that has popped up in celebrity PR statements. I know I shouldn't even care, but I've been seeing it more and more lately and it's just more eye roll worthy to me than the usual rote statements, I guess.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 I don't understand why these soap actors keep releasing these PR spun statements about their divorces anyway. I doubt most soap fans are checking for their marriages. My favorite spin though is, "There's nothing we dislike about each other." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 For me, that's a way of saying we are parting on good terms and will be a family but in a different way. Perhaps that just me. I don't need a statement at all, but if relationships have to end, its good to not have to read such ugly stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm always puzzled as to how two people can be married for so long and then just bam WERE DIVORCING. I will never understand it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 You know, someone basically asked LW that question. Was that you? lol Who knows. They were together since they were 14 and 15 years old. Some people outgrow each other. They had been separated for over a year and decided they didn't have a marriage to save.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 Probably had problems between them for awhile but stuck through it for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 Last year, this time, something definitely changed. LW went from talking about her husband/SSW daily to not mentioning him at all. I knew something was up but it seems they are doing what is best for everyone.

Members Juliajms Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 I used to feel that way, but now that I'm older I've seen a lot of divorces in the people a decade older than me. A lot of times it's as simple as a cheating scenario. Someone got bored and wanted something different. Then there's the growing apart thing or the familiarity breeds contempt scenario. It's just that there usually is a lot of bitterness, which is why these PR statements always just strike me as ridiculous. In LW's case she's not a big enough star that many people would notice her marital situation. If not for this board I never would have. In the case of big celebrities we often know the ugly reality anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted April 20, 2016 Members Share Posted April 20, 2016 i don't get this. How this there not to understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted April 21, 2016 Members Share Posted April 21, 2016 My parents divorced after 25 years after knowing one another since junior high. I always knew it wasn't the greatest marriage and they mostly stuck together because of kids and familiarity of one another. I wasn't shocked at all when they told me they were divorcing. In fact, they probably would have been happy and healthier divorcing early because even kids are aware if there is tension. Not saying this is the case with LW or anything just that it does happen a lot. My husband's parents divorced after 20+ years as well. He left the minute the youngest finish high school and married his secretary lol! I don't think it's that uncommon. I applaud those who can co-parent successfully and still like one another after a divorce, but I sorta of think it's really hard and rare. But, hey, Brian Austin Green just knocked up Megan Fox and they are still divorcing so who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
