"Happier without him," it says. To you people that give up on marriage so easily. Go back and read your friggin VOWS!!! Pathetic! My wife committed adultery, but I forgave her and we are doing very nicely with a 14 month-old little boy.

Jessica did the same thing to Nick. What's with the Simpson girls? Jessica was alone a long time after she dumped Nick. Ashlee will be too.

Personally I think she is being incredibly selfish.

I can't stand Ashley Simpson. He can do so much better than her anyway. She is nothing to cry over.
Those Simpson girls will NEVER have lasting marriages. They are way too selfish and spoiled.

Why do these Hollywood types think their relationships are going to last? He can cry all he wants but he has only himself to blame.

His chia-pet hairdo and stupic chick jeans are way fugly, but the little beetch is totally forgetting her marriage vows just because it's not "all about her." Ashlee has always been a jerk.
