When relationships go bad, you can almost always point back to a specific moment at which you said, “That’s it, I’ve had enough of this.” Jessica Simpson is talking about that moment in her marriage to Nick Lachey.

Was it an infidelity? Despite some rumors to the contrary, it was nothing of the sort. Rather, acccording to her, it was in October 2005 when he decided to stay home rather than go to Africa with her on a charity mission for Operation Smile.

If their reality show was any indication of what life was really like, then it was surely just the straw that broke the camel’s back. On the show, he was always staying home acting like an irresponsible frat boy while she went out and brought home the bacon. Then when she did get home from this gig or that, he always very critical of her. More than once my own significant other commented that she would have tossed his unemployed derriere out of the house long before Simpson finally did.

Making that trip to Africa alone surely gave Simpson a lot of time to think about her relationship, and unfortunately for Lachey, she finally came to the same conclusion herself.
