This year's summer has been a turning point for most celeb couples who have entered the divorce ring, including the Muppets' Kermit The Frog and Miss Piggy.
Foxnews.com recently featured an article citing famous star couples who have called it quits, and have released joint statements expressing amicability and intact parental responsibilities. Dr. Keith Ablow, a known Fox News contributor, told FOX411 that a couple's relationship may be in the rocks already during the summertime and could lead to reconsidering such relationships.
Audrey Hope, a relationship expert, also surmises that the summer season could be the most appropriate time to take things easy with children off from school and enlighten them of the would-be scenario, should it happened or have been decided already by the couple. She was quoted as saying " You have the luxury of time and space and fun activities to soften the blow."
Theadventurouswriter.com also mentioned in an article the usual reasons behind the break-up decision. A common reason for the split can be that of having irreconcilable differences on both sides. Another one is with consistent distancing (because of showbiz commitments) and a mismatch on personal off-work schedules. Still another is swirling rumors of infidelity on either both parties.
Fears of insecurity and imbalance in power within the relationship is also a fatal reason for such splits, according to the same article. Decision-making should not be a one-way rule-out, but should include the power of listening and empathy for the other half. Communication on both sides is also key to maintaining openness and harmony in the relationship. Controlling behaviors also tend to break the romance in-between, because these personality shifts can be a fire starter for domestic violence; take for example that of the Rihanna-Chris Brown breakup.
