Gwyneth and Chris 'consciously uncoupling'

AN OPEN marriage, disagreements over how to raise their kids and name-calling are some of the alleged reasons behind Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow’s split.

Just over a week ago, Paltrow announced on her Goop website that she and Martin were “conscious uncoupling” after 10 years of marriage.

But from the sounds of it they were lucky to last that long, with both of them reportedly straying during their relationship.

“They were physically separated and emotionally,” a source told People magazine.

“Chris talked to her about temptations on the road. Gwyneth knew girls threw themselves at him. If Chris was playing around Gwyneth didn’t care.”

Paltrow was just as bad with the source saying, “She would openly flirt with men in front of Chris.”

It’s also been claimed that Paltrow would hurl verbal put-downs at Martin, especially when he ate meals that didn’t fit within her strict dietary guidelines.

“Gwyneth would snipe at Chris and say things to him like ‘You’re such a moron,’” a source told Us Weekly.

“(Paltrow) would totally make fun of the way he ate and what he ordered when they ate out. It was like living with a bossy schoolteacher or etiquette coach. He just took it.”
