Falling on His Sword

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin wants us to stop vilifying Gwyneth Paltrow, OKRRR, for it was – from what I think he is suggesting – his idea to “consciously uncouple” after 11 years of marriage.

So who or what is to blame?

Evidently, as he just told the BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe, his inability to truly open up and feel love amidst all his success and whatnot.

“This [split] was more a realization about trying to grow up basically. If you can’t open yourself up, you can’t appreciate the wonder inside.

“So you can be with someone very wonderful [like G.P.], but because of your own issues you cannot let that be celebrated in the right way.”

And there you have it.
