I was surprised as well. It makes me sad to see marriages that have been together that long, break up.So sad what is happening in the world these days.
I know!! After 40 years why not just stick it out and each live in one of their 400 houses and just endure!! Somebody has a girlfriend or boyfriend that they want to go further in a relationship with.
I agree with Gigi.....after 40 years....why not stick it out? Thank God that by His grace alone, my husband and I continue to grow closer as we grow older. We've been married almost 31 years. I can't imagine starting over. : /
I agree with Diane, I wasn't surprised at all. They were having problems even during the 2000 campaign, because of her drinking problem, of course if I was married to him, I'd have a drinking problem too.. What surprised me was when their friend tried to explain to a reporter how it was really all George Bush's fault that they are separated. Seems they never recovered from the election being "stolen" from them. lol..wonder what else they are going to blame him for? I guess if you are miserable it's better to separate after 40 yrs than to live in misery and a lie forever. I have a friend who divorced her husband of 54 yrs. 2 yrs ago and she said the last 2 years are the happiest she's known since she was 18. Molly
Even after a couple of days of this news, it still surprises me a bit. Making it forty years is a long term investment. But, then again, after reading Molly's comment, if they can have a few happy years? Whose to say?
I think the Clintons are too politically married to ever part ways. Even though, in my opinion, they are likely emotional divorced and have been for some time, they stay together for the politics
Hi, my name is Linda! After being away from the blogging world for a number of years, I thought I'd give it another try. I've missed the creative outlet I once enjoyed and I especially have missed the friendships that developed. I'm looking forward to this new (but familiar) adventure!
Since blogging last, my life has drastically changed! I've been blessed with a wonderful handsome husband, bonus children and grandchildren, and I became "Mimi" to one gorgeous little guy! I am blessed beyond measure! One thing hasn't changed tho and never will...I am a lover of Christ and daughter of the King!

I was really surprised by this too. Makes you wonder how long things weren't great between them.
I was surprised myself after 40 years!
I wasn't surprised at all, the woman must have some sense!
Love Di ♥

It was a surprise all right. That means both people from the 2000 ticker are split. Wonder what politics and fame do to people. Linda

It surprised me, as well. I can't imagine throwing in the towel after 40 years of togetherness.
This really surprised me too!

Very sad!
Ya. It's really too bad too.
The other couple can't divorce though, it wouldn't be politically advantageous for them.
Very sad....made it 40 years and then...........
That is a long time to be together and then to get a divorce.

very crazy!!!!
Oh there is a couple in my ward that are getting a divorce. They have been married for over 40 years!!!! So sad.

What is it saying to those who are just getting married?
"Hey, if we don't like it, even after 40 years, it's OK. Look at the Gore's".
