Well it has really affected me and i'm not sure why... i cry about it and keep scouring the news and internet for information every minute, and thats not like me at all. I'm not sure if this is the reason, but for a very long time i have had an issue with divorce and splitting up, and go through a hard time when someone i know goes through a break up... so i'm thinking because these guys live their life so much in the public eye [i watch their tv shows, buy the magazines, merchendise and books] that i have began feeling like i know them?Please help me guys, i can't ask people i know for help because again i feel really pathetic, stupid, and just basically like an idiot...Thanks x

 Do you mean 'Jordan real name Katie Price' lol as if we didn't know!
I agree with Uncle Phil and Ginalolabridga and Army Medic who has a valid point. It's a publicity stunt to rake in even more money so don't worry any longer, by the time she takes the last layer of make-up off her face it will be all back on again unfortunately!

They have made the right decision, as it would be worse if they stayed in a destructive relationship. Xx

If you read a lot about certain people, they can become very important to you, and you can start to really care about what happens to them, even if you never meet them. Look at people who watch soaps on the tv, like Eastenders. People follow these shows closely, and even though it is not real, people take it very seriously, and will even shout at the actors if one of them has been having an affair or something! So it is probably more common than you realise.
Divorce and separation is also clearly a sensitive subject for you, so you will be more easily triggered by this too. Do you think it might help if you avoid these kinds of magazines for a little while, until you feel more able to cope with it at least?
Take care. x

 How many times have these guys split up? Shes always partying without her wedding ring.
You have looked up to them as role models and to hear they have split up has effected you because you have formed a personal relationship with them by reading and watching the tv about them.
You will feel fine about it. You can always follow their lives when they go solo as Katie will still keep up her modeling, horse riding and book writing.

 Hi Anonymous
Your feelings are real regardless of the reason why so you should not think of yourself as "pathetic, stupid, and just basically like an idiot...". You have grown fond of these two people and you enjoy having them as part of your life. Just as people who had never met Lady Diana mourned her dying you will "mourn" these two parting. Don't worry it will pass quite quickly. As you get more experience of life you will find that nothing lasts for ever and you will learn to let things go with much less ado. I hope this helps you.

Current estimates are that she's worth £30 million, him not quite so much. Now, where do you think that money comes from? Go figure it out for yourself.
He was a one-hit wonder pop singer, she a topless model - renowned for the amount of silicone she could stuff into her ever expanding chest who was on a downward spiral financially because we'd all seen enough of her. She then re-invents herself as a mother of three with a brand new husband, who likes horses and designs equestrian clothing and loves seeing herself on the box with her dear husband on chat shows. The strings to her bow are endless and she doesn't miss any opportunity to make a few quid. You have to give the pair of them credit for milking it all to the Nth degree. They're set up for life financially.
Hello! or OK magazine (or both) will, I predict, by the end of the year (or even by the end of the summer) announce their reconciliation with lots of photo's of their marriage re-dedication (exclusive, of course) and they'll be paid very handsomely for it. Supertits and a six-pack - what a wonderful combination for selling magazines and merchandise! I could even write the headlines for them - "Katie and Peter reunited!".
Watch this space and remember - I told you first.

 Seriously, I don't think this is real but if it is then there are far more important things going on in the world. You don't know these people, you only see what they want you to see. Live your own life.

 My grandmother went on and on about what Liz did to Debbie and how could Eddie find that tart more attractive than sweet Debbie. I'm only glad she passed away before Angelina stuck it to poor Jen, but then she was very old and partly senile. Maybe you just need to start living your life to the fullest and not vicariously through some celebrities.

These things happen... to everyday people, everyday. Perhaps there is someone you KNOW that your energy and compassion may be better spent on? If not, send them a sympathy card, chances are, the demise of their marriage means more to you than them!

 Please never pick up a real news paper because if this upsets you, I think you would be very traumatised at what is happening in the rest of the world!

We all need something to aspire to, and if you're slightly less experienced than most, I spose you could have been using their relationship as a learning basis. Now they've split up, you could feel lost because of this? The main thing to remember is that they are human, they will make mistakes, and it is neither relative or a reflection of your relationships or life. You obviously have some issues with rejection/abandonment. I would sugest speaking to a psychiatrist.
