«They lived forever joyful and happy», we must remember, it is a myth born hundreds of years ago, when the average lifespan lasted less than 40 years and people had few possibilities to choose, to move, to change. It is clear that the idea of a love that lasts over time is pleasant and reassuring, but – as the facts demonstrate – it is no longer so current.
A few years ago, psychotherapist Katherine Woodward Thomas, sensing that dissolving a marriage had now become a popular routine, spoke of the benefits of “gentle” separation. One of her books is called Conscious uncouplingas the expression used by Gwyneth Paltrow when, on his blog, in 2014 he talked about how he was managing the separation with Chris Martin. Yes, they were the VIP leaders of a sort of “movement” for the responsible and sensible divorce. And, for quite a few years, this model has been what celebrity couples have looked up to and aspired to.
But something must have gone wrong lately. It seems there has been a return to the past, when plates and shoes were thrown at the ex and his clothes from the balcony, and people were looking for the best way to ruin him, even if it were by turning the children against him. They were undoubtedly the ones who inaugurated the new trend Amber Heard and Johnny Deppwith their legal battle lasting five years at a stretch humiliations inflicted on each other. A show that captivated fans almost as much as the two actors’ films.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye Westof their turbulent and very expensive divorce, they even made a documentary in two episodes, on Discovery.
In Italy Francesco Totti and Ilary Blasi they were already famous, but they became even more so due to the war of Rolexes and handbags. Even if on other issues, to some extent, a truce has been reached, the watches and economic claims remain at the center of the discussions between the two exes.
The marriage also ended painfully singer Britney Spears and model Sam Ashgari with her who, according to the gossip site Tmzraised his hands more and more often, and he who, as he says in the column Page Six of the New York Posthe allegedly threatened to reveal “extremely embarrassing” details.
After 18 years of marriage to Christine Baumgartner, also the Hollywood actor Kevin Costner is in the middle of a very turbulent divorce, because his ex has not yet left the marital home, the villa in California where they both lived, despite the prenuptial contract signed by the two providing for the abandonment of the shared house within thirty days of the request for divorce. The actor, after the agreed time expired, took the woman to court, claiming that her prolonged stay in the house was an attempt to pressure him into accepting her financial demands. And no one seems willing to give in in the name of a conscious uncouplingwhich seems quite out of fashion.
