It's sad as I thought these two would make it but I'm impressed with the way they are dealing with the split and that it's a friendly breakup.

I'm saying that the reason they are getting divorced is probably not that they met and married within a month
I don't see the big deal really. Some people just don't want to spend their entire life with one person, and that's fine by me. They both seem to be free spirits, and I'm wondering if they got married because it was practical with her being a UK citizen?

I would find the "divorce party" cuter if they didn't have kids. Because of that it just seems inappropriately flippant.

This is so sad. I've been following them from the very beginning. From the night of the day the met on the set of Blue Orchid video, to South America, to when she was pregnant with Scarlet, and then Henry. To my eye they were so happy. Really, truly happy. Interesting thought about the green card, but I'm sure that had nothing to do with them staying together for six years and having two kids together.
In my experience, they're both very intense people who are very into their work. I suspected 'Cruel Summer' was written about Alison, but I'd be very surprised if she and Jack had a full on affair. However, there is no doubt they spent a lot of time together while Karen and Jack spent a lot of time apart with their various projects. Easy to see how the combination of the two could breed jealousy and insecurities that could do ugly things to even a seemingly solid relationship.
Divorce party? When I heard about it I had decidedly mixed feelings and that hasn't changed. It's great they are able to have an amicable, drama free split for the kids sake if nothing else, but the idea of a party leaves me cold. Oh well, it wasn't meant for public consumption.
Emmylou Harris once said she was great ex-wife; better than a wife. Maybe that applies to Jack as well. He and Meg are still close. I hope he and Karen can truly remain friends. They were good together.

I was confused. But then I read this..."Jack White and wife split up, throw party" White and model Karen Elson announced on June 10ththat they are amicably divorcing after six years of marriage. (They have two children.) The couple marked the event with a party the night, which they described as "an evening together in Nashville to reaffirm our friendship and celebrate the past and future."
Then I remembered, didn't he start the White Stripes with his ex? Well, there you go.(Source: Rolling Stone Magazine- Issue 1134/1135 July 7,2011)

I always thought Detroit and Manchester were kind of on par with one another? Am I wrong? If you're referring to their careers, any career in the entertainment industry (modeling, acting, singing) is quite similar and the often overlap.
I wonder if one or both of them will leave Nashville now. It's kind of sad because she had a really great vintage store there and now I believe it's closed or under new management?

Judge slaps Jack White with restraining order, bars contact with estranged wife
Two years after Nashville’s Jack White and Karen Elson threw a party to celebrate the pair’s ostensibly friendly break up, Elson has sought and received a restraining order against White after a flurry of harassment allegations.
“Wife fears for her and the children’s safety as a result of this harassment,” the order read, describing how White contacted his ex-wife’s paralegal “in an inappropriate and aggressive manner.”
Elson, who cares for the pair’s two children, has been tussling for months with White over parenting rights. White wants to help raise the children, although Elson maintains that White is not fit to be a parent.
White, according to the restraining order affidavit, has a violent temper and a tendency of sending harassing emails and text messages.
Elson has contacted White’s attorney about the number of phone calls and emails he was allegedly sending “pressuring her about the settlement terms for divorce.”
In one email, White wrote: “I’m not extending this anymore,” referring to a settlement. “And we’re not getting lawyers involved to rip me off.”
Recently, according to the filing, White wanted Elson to contact their kids’ private school in an effort to get their kids out of a class in which another entertainer’s child was present. White said that he feels that entertainer “ripped off” his music, the order said.
In another incident, White berated Elson when she attended the wedding of a rival musician. Again, he was upset because this entertainer also “ripped off” his music, according to the order. The musician was unnamed in the court filing.
Elson has on multiple occasions asked White to attend family counseling, but Elson says White has refused.
Elson’s attorney Rose Palermo said both sides have been working to settle the dispute privately. She had no further comment.
Cathy Speers Johnson, attorney for White, could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
White, the order said, contacted the duo’s business manager and made derogatory comments about Elson. “This was done to harass and embarrass wife.”
“This pattern of husband’s bullying wife into submission was a contributing factor in the demise of their marriage."
Palermo has filed a motion for a custodial psychological evaluation, which is still pending results.
White was served the restraining order on July 22. It was signed by Circuit Court Judge Philip Robinson. White is barred from having “any contact with wife whatsoever except as it relates to parenting time with the parties’ minor children.”
Furthermore, White is only allowed to communicate with Elson over email.
The two have a hearing Aug. 29 over a dispute over their two children.

At the end of the day with his history I can't say I'm surprised. It's disappointing but nothing is perfect in life. Sucks for the kids. 
i feel bad for her...In an interview with the New York Times Magazine. Jack said he didnt believe in monogamy.
it does sound like he's being a bully. i wonder if he's referring to keith urban. maybe he doesnt want their kids to hang out with keith and nicole's children who are around the same age...

It's sad, though, as these sorts of custody disputes are often awful and should be about giving the children the best parental care possible, and not about squabbles between husband and wife, which is what it seems to devolve into a lot of the time. Hopefully, they can work out something amiable that's best for the kids.
I am not too surprised to hear about the "bullying" part of Jack's personality. He seems like a perfectionist musically, one who likes to control all aspects of creation, distribution and promotion. I am sure that sort of controlling nature (which isn't always a bad thing) could filter into relationships to some degree as well.

Exactly what I came in here to say! Whoever did the topic title deserves a gold star.
The situation is awfully sad, though.
