Breaking Up

After more than 30 years together, during which time they rose from critical alternative-rock favorites to international pop superstars and eventually Rock and Roll Hall of Fame status, R.E.M. announced Wednesday they have “called it a day as a band.”

Here I thought they were in love and ready for the long haul.  Who didn't see this one coming.  Jesse James and Kat Von D have split up.  I'll admit I thought they would get married, then one or the other would cheat and they would divorce.  But then again who am I to judge, they were in love and were headed towards wedded bliss.

One thing we always hate to hear in a relationship is, "I think we would be better off friends." For most of us, this means only one thing, the relationship is over. I don't know about you, but it takes me some time to get over a breakup, before we can move into the "friends" stage.
