Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.

I have a full life: I have two amazing kids, I have great friends, great family. And right now, that's plenty for me to manage. A new relationship just seems like way too much work.

A lot of relationships have ended for me in my 20s, because I knew that eventually those people would wanna settle down and have kids.

Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you're with an individual who isn't moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain't going to work.

Broken relationships are a source of heavy heartbreak that seem to affect every family.

Relationships can go wrong very simply, very quickly, and when you have children you become more aware of relationships around you.

What you start learning is that to get over a breakup, you kind of have to live through the emotions and not run away from it because then it lasts longer.

It's not that, you know, when a relationship doesn't work and there are issues, you have to somehow work it out if there are children involved.

I've been really lucky to have had my fair share of relationships over the years and experiences to draw from. But I would say that I generally am not the one doing the heartbreaking.

I've never understood why the end of a relationship - especially one involving children - has to immediately signal a descent into hatred and toxicity.
