Gay marriage takes another toll on a straight marriage: Demi Moore to divorce Ashton Kutcher
APNewsBreak: Demi Moore to divorce Ashton Kutcher

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Demi Moore is ending her marriage to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, she told The Associated Press Thursday. Moore, 49, and Kutcher, 33, were wed in September 2005. The couple's relationship became tabloid fodder in recent months as rumors swirled about Kutcher's alleged infidelity.

"It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation," according to her statement to the AP.

The pair frequently used Twitter to communicate with each other as millions of fans followed along - even amid rumors of Kutcher's infidelity. The day before their sixth wedding anniversary, Moore ominously quoted philosopher Epictetus: "When we are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger."

Moore and Kutcher created the DNA Foundation, also known as the Demi and Ashton Foundation, in 2010 to combat the organized sexual exploitation of girls around the globe. They later lent their support to the United Nations' efforts to fight human trafficking, a scourge the international organization estimates affects about 2.5 million people worldwide.

1. Age differences that are too large, are bad, whether it's a too-young woman, or a too-young man nt

7. doesn't sound like an age difference problem
more than a boredom and fidelity problem, at least for Mssr. Kutcher.
