WTH...how can you be married for 40 years then just decide to go your seperate ways?
Well that's exactly what happened to former Vice President Al Gore and his wife Tipper.
They sent an e-mail to friends:
"We are announcing today that after a great deal of thought and discussion, we have decided to separate. This is very much a mutual and mutually supportive decision that we have made together following a process of long and careful consideration. "We ask for respect for our privacy and that of our family, and we do not intend to comment further."
