Wednesday, September 05, 2007 

We (James and Jenna) need to announce that we have chosen to separate.  We are sorry for any pain this causes family and friends.  The enthusiasm we have expressed for each other's lives, spirits, and careers is real – we have been each other's cheerleader and friend during the past six years and continue to be so now and in the future.

 

And a special note for our MySpace fans – We appreciate your support over the years, and would be overjoyed to have you continue supporting us both.  You might be tempted to make one of us "feel better" by putting the other one down in a post.  Please don't – we still have the utmost respect for one another, and we'd have to delete you.  We aren't taking questions or doing interviews about this particular aspect of our lives.  We're also avoiding reading any press on the subject, so don't send us any clippings or links about the split.  Thank you in advance for respecting our privacy.

James and Jenna: I'm truly sorry to read this announcement especially on this particular day as it is my wife's and my 1 st anniversary today. I will continue to support you both and all I can say is one never knows what the future holds.


Anna: Wow...I can't believe how tasteless, disrespectful, and EXTREMELY insensitive your post is. No class at all.

Why someone would choose this post to brag about his anniversary with his wife is beyond my understanding.

James and Jenna: I'm so sorry.

Robin: I was not, in fact, bragging about our anniversary and I'm sorry if it came across that way to you. I didn't intend for it to be the case and, even after rereading my original post, I don't think my wording reflects an attitude of what you term as "bragging" but either way I'm sorry you misunderstood my intent.

I was simply saying that on a day when my wife and I were prepared to celebrate our marriage, to see James' and Jenna's announcement saddened me more so and hit very close to home and reminded me just how tricky relationships, especially marriage, can be and that problems can in fact happen to ANYONE. (I know neither of them personally but as long as I've been aware of their marriage they've always struck me as a terrificly matched couple, for what it's worth.)

What I didn't specify in my previous post is that my wife and I had very recently had our own separation period from early July until early August due to the stress of moving and some other related issues.

And this wasn't the first time either. She and I had been dating on and off for the previous six and a half years and have been out of contact with one another for various periods mostly due to her having been in an abusive first marriage and the bad taste it left in her mouth. Thankfully over time we were able to put things behind us and work things out.

As I concluded in my final statement to both of them, no one ever knows knows what the future holds and I truly want them to be happy whether things work out in their relationship (they said it was a separation not a divorce) or as two individuals.

My words were intended to be supportive and encouraging, not insensitive and "bragging" as you interpreted them to be.

James and Jenna: If you took my statements in the manner that Robin apparently did then I truly apologize as that was never ever my intent.

Speaking from experience, sometimes people are better 'friends' than 'lovers'. It IS possible to maintain a friendship after a breakup, so let that be some solace. Good luck in your future relationships, both of you. I wish you all nothing but the best. :-)

Sorry everybody, not to get off the topic here, I mean this is a real bummer no doubt. Um, hey guy, I think that picture is going to have people thinking "secret torture room in the basement", it just screams it. If it's a joke, it's hi-larious.
