ROSIE O'DONNELL SPEAKS ON HER BREAK UP
Fun loving Rosie O'Donnell's breakup from wife Kelli Carpenter was smooth and drama-free because neither partner wanted to fight and lose touch with each other. Rosie is insisting women can always find a way to go their own ways graciously because they always want what's best for everyone involved. Rosie broke up from Kelli in 2008. She says, "We tried very hard to make it work in different configurations. ... It's not really the same paradigm as heterosexual divorce. It's different. "I'm not trying to say it's (lesbian divorce) better. ... Women usually, in relationships, that emotional connection is really the most intense, and so when they break up, I have found, they stay connected. "Every woman I've ever been with, besides one, is still in my life." The star was appearing on "Oprah and also revealed she split from Carpenter because the two were drifting apart. She says, "What you want and need at 30, which is when I met Kelli ... is very different to what you want and need at 40 and 45, and in some ways we both came back to our authentic selves and who were were ... wasn't as great of a match."
