Along the lines of "This is a discussion forum not a worship site". I would like to point out that I find it interesting that the first assumptions were that the separation was Liz's doing and she "bailed" on Gord for one gold digger reason or another considering each of their personal histories. Gord, by his own admission, has had 6 children with 4 women, Liz has had 2 children with 1 man. Hmmm...no disrespect intended, but food for thought.

Also, I think that the reason he chose to reveal the separation to the reporter was because even though Toronto is a big city, "The Circle is Small". He knew it wouldn't take long before it would be evident to the masses...he just took the initiative for us to "hear it from him".

The reporter even mentions noticing the furnishing style of the house by calling it "casually decorated". The lack of a woman's touch and children's things probably made him wonder "Is There Anyone Home?" and Gord realized that there were "Too Many Clues In This Room" and 'fessed up.

Having said that, from personal experience, I will add that it is possible to still be a support to your spouse while "living under separate domicile". I refuse to get caught up in the reporter's view that he is a sad broken lonely man. From what we've read and seen over the years, Gord steers his own ship.

It's not been an easy year. I agree with The Watchman , maybe they are just taking a breather.

Thanks Char for making sure we all saw this revealing and riveting article.
