It’s unclear as to whether Demi Moore is going to file for divorce from Ashton Kutcher after he allegedly cheated on their sixth wedding anniversary. At least, that’s what the Vancouver Sun and other media outlets are reporting. Though both parties have declined to confirm the split, it’s certainly apparent that this is a difficult time for both of them.
It’s no surprise that many marriages crumble when there is a serious betrayal. For most Americans, marriage remains the highest expression of commitment that they can imagine. Most also believe it’s unacceptable to cheat, lie, or keep secrets in a marriage–and that number has continued to fall over the past 40 years, according to Stephanie Coontz, the author of the article The Origins of Modern Divorce.
While the difficulty of this situation cannot be overstated, Demi has navigated this terrain before with grace and poise. If she handles a divorce from Ashton like she did her divorce from Bruce Willis, we can expect the couple to stay friends and find happiness amidst the devastation. So, what can we learn from this actress?

According to People, Lopez may be referring to her previous romances between Sean “P Diddy” Combs, Chris Judd and Ben Affleck, followed by “number four,” who is presumably Marc Anthony.

0 Looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger still feels guilty over the end of his 25 year marriage to ex Maria Shriver. According to RadarOnline, the ex-governor is prepared to give his ex a hefty settlement in the divorce, much more than is required under California state law. Both Schwarzenegger and Shriver’s lawyers seem to be getting along and are working together to come to a joint settlement. Schwarzenegger said he is the one to blame for the collapse of his marriage, and he is willing to give Shriver whatever she needs. He’s also filing for joint custody of the couple’s sons, which is a decision Shriver agrees with because she still wants her ex to remain a major part of their children’s lives. It’s so sad to see the end of such a seemingly perfect marriage, but at least the pair are putting their differences aside to do what is best for their children and themselves.
