I don’t think we are able to have a friendship. We’re moving into the identical fights where he’s more concerned about another person’s feelings and giving them the advantage of doubt. That’s the explanation why I’m divorcing him because I couldn’t take care of that as his wife and I can’t take care of that as a friend. I noticed this morning that I don’t should. I don’t deserve it.”
