Jessica Simpson pulled the plug

Nick Lachey has opened up about the failure of his marriage to Jessica Simpson.
“I wanted to be everything to my wife,” Lachey confessed in an interview appearing in both Rolling Stone and US Weekly next week. “It breaks my heart that I couldn’t make Jessica happy.”
“I’d marry her all over again. Because I still love her. It would be a lot easier to walk away if I didn’t.”
Lachey admitted there were problems in their relationship last year but he was surprised when Simpson called it off. He said they were driving home from a dinner following the American Music Awards when his wife “said something about how we hadn’t really been getting along and then said, ‘I think I want a divorce.’” Lachey said he asked Simpson to “sleep on it” but her mind was unchanged the following day.
“I felt like someone sucker-punched me and took my life away,” he told the magazines, which are owned by the same company. “My dog, my wife, the house.”
Lachey revealed that on the day she filed for divorce, Dec. 16, he visited Simpson at her parents’ house and begged her to work on saving their marriage by going to counseling together.
“I thought we owed it to ourselves to try … but she didn’t want to go.”
Lachey said he doesn’t blame his ex-wife. “Marriage is the toughest thing in the world. To blame her is bullshit.”
He said his former father-in-law, Joe Simpson, is also not to blame but admitted he was “an influence” in the marriage. Lachey refused to confirm reports that Simpson was unfaithful during their marriage – but fell short of denying them. “If she did cheat, it was the result of something bigger, not the reason we didn’t work. … Sometimes I think it would be easier if I had just walked in the house and found her in bed with a guy. That would be clear-cut. End of story. I wouldn’t have to deal with the uncertainty of adultery.”
