Breaking up is hard to do type Movie

Sinead O’Connor might not have been involved in the most famous divorce of 2011, but fans and curiosity seekers alike are still wondering what broke up her 16-day marriage to Barry Herridge. Luckily for them, O’Connor — who, earlier this year before meeting Herridge, wrote on her blog that she was searching for a “sweet sex-starved man” — likes to share.

Speaking with Britain’s The Sun, O’Connor said the marriage made her feel as though she was “living in a coffin.” “It was going to be a coffin for both of us, and I saw him crushed … The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man.”

And what of the comments on her blog claiming the couple split in part because of “a bit of a wild ride i took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night”? According to O’Connor, she brought Herridge on a hunt for marijuana following their wedding. “We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous,” she told The Sun. “I wasn’t scared — but he’s a drugs counselor. What was I thinking? Then I was handed a load of crack. Barry was very frightened — that kind of messed everything up a bit, really.”

But O’Connor seems to be more frightened by the prospect of marriage itself. As the “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer told The Sun, “I don’t think I will even date anyone.” [Via People]
