I just saw that on the news tonight. I feel very sad for them. Such a long time and they have children together, don't they?
After 25 years, you'd think you're past the point of dealing with incompatibilities and such.
I was just chatting with a friend of mine tonight, a fellow I've known since college, and he said he and his wife were counting their blessings, because they know a lot of couples their age (early 60s) who have divorced over the last year or two. After the last kid has flown the nest, the parents decided to split. You wonder how long they were holding it together "for the sake of the children."
With Maria and Ah-nuld, maybe they were just holding it together for the sake of his political career. Now that's over, maybe they decided that it was time to break up.
Very sad, whatever led to it.
