Cherry Jones confirms “the happiest break-up” ever with Sarah Paulson

about this is since we have so few public gay celebrity relationships out there in the world...each break up (no matter how "good" it was) is still a blow to the community. i am sorry to hear this news and wish them all the best in the future.

I think Cherry is a no bullshit, very gracious woman. This is what happens to adults sometimes...they grow togther and then need/want that time alone to enjoy that growth in a new environment. The adult part comes to play with this "sending each other off with a kiss and great love". That's the classy, gracious part to me as well. We should never pretend to be content in a relationship only to please the other person. The love doesn't have to end for the discontentment to grow. I wish them both peace, love and happiness for all of their days.

As sad as I am to see a high-profile lesbian couple split, it also means that Sarah Paulson is now back on the market. Can I "meat tag" her?

but i have to admit that i've had a crush on sarah since she was on jack and jill and i secretly have been hoping to run into her and make a fool of myself since i found out she dabbles in the lady pool...one can dream:)  glad to hear they are being classy about the situation, though i'm curious what sarah thinks about it--cherry was her first relationship with a woman--so i feel it's gotta be a little more difficult on her end. note to sarah:  i'm here if you need to talk or snuggle or not talk but snuggle:) 

Sad to see lesbian celebrity couple breaking up but glad to see such maturity.  Going through a breakup myself, I didn't think a "happy break-up" existed.....

is it bad that i didnt know sara was a lezzie?..mmm now that i think about it..seeing her in other roles..kinda set of my gaydar a bit..i just thought she was straight..wow thats sad lmao..thats cool that they could be friends instead of the hate..ahah

"what do u get with two cheaters date each other?"

ans: the only conclusion i have come to is one of them will screw the other over..

People break up for their own reasons but it is a shame that more lesbian couples in the limelight can't stay together.

Sarah Paulson is twenty years Jones' junior. More importantly, Jones is at a time in her life a lot of things happen....

I had an experience when I was with a woman many years my senior a number of years ago. She was Jones' age. Although my gf claimed that our relationship was what she wanted, and "the happiest, healthiest" of her life, inexplicably she began to sabotage it, became a bit rigid and self-centered and was alternately aloof and cold towards me until I actually thought it best to break up since it seemed impossible to maintain a happy (for me) relationship with her. Of course, she begged me (tears included) to not....blah, blah, blah, both times.Then, after she has me committed to her, months later, she breaks it off.

One day she wrote me a letter and left it at my house for me to find upon returning from work! Just like that. Out of the blue, no arguments, after a wonderful weekend away together.

Okay, in my situation, this was, unfortunately, done in an odd and cold way, and maybe even cruelly.

The reason? All she would say is "it's not you". For awhile we remained close, with her insistence and my stupidity, thinking she'd "find her way".

Oh, and did I forget: We remained friends for awhile....yeah, the single worst thinking a lesbian does when she is ditched is thinking they can "be friends". Maybe later, but not when it's just so both or one party isn't realistic. It compounded the pain for me and allowed her off her "mean" hook.

The reason this all comes to mind is because this ex gf went around telling everybody how "happy" she was to be single for the first time of her adult life..." (which hurt me).

I found out later what it was. She was in pre-menapause. She didn't know what was going on in her body or her mind, but instead of admitting that to anyone or me at least, she hid it, (but not her behavior). The only reason she broke up with me was because of a medical issue. 

Women go through an important personal milestone around age 50, having to do with personal autonomy--a critical time in a woman's life.That is why many big changes happen  later in a woman's life that seem sudden or maybe even inexplicable.

A PS: Two years after the fact I'd found out this ex gf began searching for me. She even approached me; she ran into me at a store. I stood frozen for a moment and then just walked away from her without saying a word. I don't even remember what she said. Whatever was between us, she had destroyed, and a part of me. To this day she is still alone and continues to try and date, but can't seem to find anyone to stay with because now she's no longer very attractive, still not very nice, and has a reputation because of what happened with us.

I sense that Cherry Jones is a nice woman, intelligent and kind, and will journey wisely and be happy.

It's just the story made me think of (menopausal) timing and its effects.....

 

 

It was a May/December romance that was nice to see, so sad that they could not make it work. Is Sarah really gay or was it just with Cherry? At 52 Cherry is who she is, so it will be interesting to follow Sarah and see . . .

Dr. Christiane Northrup has a really great book out called "The Wisdom of Menopause" and she has helped a lot of menopausal women out there. And, face it, with the baby boom entering a new cycle, there are a lot of menopausal females out there. If you need it, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), can restore post-menopausal women to some normalcy. Ellen and Portia (what's her real name again?) are the same age difference, let's hope they can make it work.

For those who keep asking, Sarah used to date men and was engaged to a man before she started dating Cherry. I don't remember her ever stating whether she identifies as bisexual or lesbian but I have sure seen gay media to do it for her. Whether she dates a man or woman next is irrelevant to me at least as she has dated men in the past so it wouldn't be out of nowhere. Although I'm sure if she does she'll probably get alot of vitrol thrown her way. Thus is the nature of the community. But I wish them both the best as the think they are both fantastic actresses.

Oh no, I was just wondering about them the other day when I saw something about Cherry somewhere--Glad it was a 'happy' breakup though, at least there's no ongoing hateful grudge. Aw, to the growing comment, it's so sweet and loving. If they got back together, I'd be okay with that too. Once Ms. Jones is no longer needing some alone time (I understand the feeling....).

The sky should always be this blue...

A lesbian break up WITHOUT the drama!  Whatever next?

Glad to see that it actually can be done maturely and I wish them both the best for the future.

 

I'm sorry but even if a person doesnt treat you right or you realize its the best for both people in the situation, there is still going to be strong emotions and none of them are even similar to happy.
