Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie split up a while back, but they seemed to be genuinely working on their issues. Until Mike Comrie was caught blatantly offering random women money for sex. Then Hilary couldn’t file for divorce fast enough. Sources told Us Weekly that when Hilary heard about that incident, she “realized Mike would never change” and that she needed to call it quits. So, with that knowledge, here’s Hilary’s brave, fearless single-girl Cosmo cover. After reading these quotes… she’s been ready to divorce him for a while.

On her marriage & divorce with Mike Comrie: “Mike and I were very in love when we met. We both really wanted to get married. I’d been working since the age of 11 or 12, so making that choice at a young age seemed right for me. Maybe it wasn’t, but we spent the majority of our time together really happy. It wasn’t working well enough to stay together, but there was still a lot of love involved. It was just a slow set-in of us not being the match that we used to be. I’m lucky for the person he is and I am and how we decided to handle this.”

On her view of marriage, post-divorce: “I don’t want to sound bitter because I’m definitely not, but I don’t know if people are meant to be together forever. Things happen over a long relationship that you can’t always fight. A marriage of 20 years, the accomplishment of that must feel really great, but there are also huge sacrifices. I just always want to fight for happiness.”

On Aaron Carter’s recent declarations of love for Duff on Twitter: “Him reaching out through social media? It’s ridiculous! But then people do it all the time, like Chris Brown and Karrueche? Come on, guys. Keep it between text messages.”

Her Hollywood crush: “Charlie Hunnam.”

Girl, Charlie Hunnam is everyone’s crush!!! Get in line! As for the other stuff… I don’t mean this in a rude or “talk to the hand” way, but Hilary’s comments about love and marriage sound pretty typical of a woman getting out of a marriage. I appreciate the fact that she’s not doing a bigger “WOE IS ME” routine, but pretty much every woman getting out of a marriage wonders if we’re are really meant to couple up for the rest of our lives.
