Al and Tipper Gore separate after 40 years of marriage

:( Very sad news. There appears to be no shady infidelity. They just "grew apart" after they left the White House.

This is a very sad comment on the relevance of marriage in America, in the New Millennium, imo....

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, are separating after 40 years of marriage that included a White House run when their sunny relationship offered a counterpoint to President Bill Clinton's philandering.

According to an e-mail circulated among the couple's associates on Tuesday, the Gores said it was "a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration."

Gore spokeswoman Kalee Kreider confirmed the statement came from the Gores, but declined to comment further.

The Gores were telling friends they "grew apart" after 40 years of marriage and there was no affair involved, according to two longtime close associates and family friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a personal matter.

This news surprised me.

I thought they were bonded forever with their hatred of Dee Snyder and love of giant, energy-wasting mansions.

:cool:
 
Maybe somebody told her and she finally realized after all these years that she was married to Al Gore. :1orglaugh
 
Why now???

After being together 40 yrs., I'm sure this couple have been through damn near everything relationship wise. They just moved in to a new place together, so I think theres more to this than just an amicable split. I wonder what's behind this decision really???
 
A bunch of cowards. I can understand maybe after 4 years of marriage but decades? Unless there's abuse, after that long why don't you stay married until death do you part?
 
After 40 years I'm sure they 'grew apart' many times after all marriage is work. Why after all that time is the 'growing apart' so different.:confused: Well good luck to each of them.

Is it possible Gore is hard at work dropping some weight, lifting some weights, maybe adding some blond streaks to his hair..

And maybe he's gonna troll the beaches for some hawties.. :dunno: :yesyes:

This story really does have me wonder if marriage can survive a political career.

George HW Bush and George Washington are still happily married after all these years.

All I can do is laugh at that one..:spin::laugh::computer::yahoo:


There does have to be something more to this. Maybe Big Al has been hanging out with Johnny Edwards too much lately :crying:
 
That's retarded. If you have lasted for 40 years, there is little to no point in breaking it off now. Just make some adjustments in the way the marriage works. Don't just get divorced.
