In like, the most eloquent way possible too.
Six months after they announced they were going to get married, Jason Mraz and Tristan Prettyman have called off their engagement. The couple seemed to have it all figured out back when Jason proposed on Christmas eve, but he confesses that their love has been sacrificed for his art. He explains:
“My greatest mistake right now is, I’ve been clinging to my art. In that, I have victory for my art and a great loss for my heart. At the moment, my beautiful fianc├â┬⌐e is no longer my beautiful fianc├â┬⌐e. Two halves don’t make a whole. Two wholes make a whole. In my relationship, I was giving myself away to make the relationship better, but in actuality, wasn’t doing better by doing that. I became less of a man.”
Wow. We’re not really sure what that means exactly, but it sounds bittersweet none-the-less.
We’re sorry to hear that things didn’t work out for you two, but hopefully you guys can still be friends or something.
Also, when we read that part about the halves not making a whole, for some reason we started singing Life is Wonderful in our head. Not really apropos, but it came up!
