Sinead O'Connor splits from fourth husband after three weeks

[MrScorpio]

Sinead O'Connor has announced that she is separating from her fourth husband, less than three weeks after marrying him in a drive-through ceremony in Las Vegas.

The Irish singer said that she and Barry Herridge, a therapist from Dublin, were parting amicably but claimed that the marriage was "kyboshed by the behaviour of certain people in my husband's life" within three hours of the wedding.

She also blamed "a bit of a wild ride I took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night as I don't drink".

"My husband was enormously wounded and very badly affected by that experience and also by the attitude of those close to him toward our marriage," she wrote in a blog post on her website.

"It became apparent to me that if he were to stay with me he would be losing too much to bear."

Herridge, 38, and O'Connor, 45, were married on 8 December in a chapel in Las Vegas after she said on Twitter that she was seeking a boyfriend.

1. I thought she came out back in the 1990s?

Around the time she became a priest.

2. Apparently, Sinead is a big fan of multitasking

If three weeks is "old news" for her, you can't just imagine about all the things she's done and places she's been since the '90s.

3. I mis-read it as "splits from fourth husband in three weeks"

and I thought, Whoa, slow down, take stock of this situation.

which wouldn't hurt, actually

"Fight the real enemy!"

6. You'd split too

If you discovered you married Herman Munster. A couple of neck bolts and he's there.

7. There was only room in the marriage for one giant, shiny forehead, and it wasn't...

going to be his.

10. Jesus, what happened to her?

She used to be extraordinarily beautiful.



Now she looks like a guy...

[MrScorpio]

11. It's called a hard life, Bro

and she's had one.

[FloridaJudy]

12. It's also called "time"

And it eventually catches up with all of us. Except for Helen Mirren and Catherine Deneuve, but then I suspect those two are vampires.

13. I was going to say....

As soon as I saw the subject line of your reply, I thought: "Hey, Helen Mirren is still hot as hell..."

And Catherine Deneuve WAS a vampire, at least once...

14. Her words tend to turn me off faster than her looks

That whole "difficult brown" thing.

If you Google "Sinead O'Connor difficult brown," all shall be made clear (for anyone who has no idea of what I'm talking about).

8. Given her horrible childhood, it's not suprising that it is hard for her...

...to sustain relationships.

9. She appears to be high maintenance

I would personally have a hard time living with the level of drama she seems to be attracted to.
