Maria Shriver has been "miserable" in her marriage for a long, long time
sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... and it's all about Arnold Schwarzenegger's "craziness."

We're told Maria moved out of the couple's L.A. mansion months ago. Sources tell us she's been extremely unhappy in her marriage for years, complaining about Arnold's out of control ego, as well as his womanizing.

We're also told Maria feels Arnold has ignored her for years and she's felt terribly unappreciated.

Sources say the couple has spent "very little time together" for several years. Maria was frequently absent from Sacramento while Arnold was Governor.

The situation got worse once Arnold left office and decided he wanted to resurrect his movie career. Maria felt Arnold was becoming more erratic -- more "unstable."

Republicans, they have the stability of cheese in a volcano.

1. Never understood what a woman could see in him, much less a Kennedy woman.

Probably has to pay for them now that his pecs are down around his waist.

Or was that Mel? Regardless, someone deserves to be blown first.

5. Shocked. I'm shocked, I tell you.
Okay, no I'm not.

Maybe now Maria will get back to a healthier weight, without all teh Ahnuld Crazy in her life. Her Skeletor frame has been frightening to see. :(

Sad situation at best.

24. Addendum: After 25 years with Arnie.
I look a whole lot different than I did 25 years ago, most of us do.

Not advocating for Arnie in any way, just saying that the passage of so much time nullifies before and after pictures.

29. I heard her state in an interview, awhile back, that the gropenator watched every
bite she took.

I look forward to seeing her find a healthy weight now that the control freak is out of her life. She looks frightening in that photo!

44. But she's Eunice's daugher!
Take a look at the way Eunice aged; frightening. None of the Kennedy women aged well, and with all their money, none of them would seek out a good plastic surgeon for some subtle repairs. A little Botox, a little Restylane; nothing major.

49. Uh... she doesn't have to get plastic surgery if she doesn't want to.
She doesn't owe it to us. Personally, I'd be happy if more women just decided to age the way they're supposed to. That would be a real indicator of happiness.

but agree that time wasn't kind to Eunice Shriver's face, and Maria does look like her mother quite a bit.

41. IDK
she sort of comes off as sticking around to be the Governors wife and now that he's done she's bolting. Sort of an Ayn Rand like move if you ask me. They used each other on the way up, now can't stand each other on the way down :)

10. He's been unfaithful to her since early in their marriage.
Edited on Tue May-10-11 12:01 PM by Cleita
He had a teenaged girlfriend, who was paid off not to talk about their affair, when he was running for governor. Most of the sources of this have been scrubbed since then.

16. I think it's sad
It's always sad when marriage falls apart like that. Being of any particular political party is besides the point.

And frankly as bad as Schwarzenegger has been at times, he's never been so bad to justify any schadenfreude from me.

She'll be in years of psycho-therapy to recover from that marriage, if she can ever recover.

pops up here from time to time. For the cripes sake, the joint statement issued by them sounds identical to the one Al and Tipper released. Were the same kind of things posted about them too?

52. i imagine there are a lot of women still pissed he was elected as he grabbed ass, boobs and crotches
of women that did not want him to grab them, but felt because he was arnie, or a man, he had that right, regardless of how the female felt.

and we probably didnt buy much into the happy ever after.

so the whole image is different than repug or dem... but pig and not.

i never got that impression from gore. did you?

57. I know what you mean, but we're talking about a very private issue here.
No, I never got that impression from Gore. None of us know, but lots of us are all too willing to cast asparagus on the Arnie/Marie marriage simply because he's a rethug. I don't even think he's a diehard rethug actually.

And truthfully, none of us know what went on inside the Gore marriage abode, but look at the posts in the thread I linked to. Very different stories.

Understand, I'm not an Arnie fan, nor am I a rethug apologist. I was simply pointing out the instant flavor of both responses... one to that of a rethug divorce, and one to that of a Democratic one.

50. What nonsense..
My dad was a diehard Republican, my mother a Democrat..yet he treated her like a queen and cried like a baby the day she died..

The breakup of a relationship or marriage is a personal issue..it has very little if anything to do with politics..
