On July 2nd, singer Melissa Etheridge filed papers with a Los Angeles court to dissolve her domestic partnership with actress Tammy Lynn Michaels. Following the filing, Michaels insisted that she was "blindsided" by the news.
In 2003, the same-sex couple exchanged vows with one another. Following their nuptials, they welcomed twins into the world before deciding to separate in April. News sources were quick to report that Etheridge had filed a Petition for Dissolution of Domestic Partnership in Los Angeles County Superior Court, prompting Michaels to respond via her blog.
Michaels wrote, "Gentle waves no noise for a while or maybe gentle voices and SMACK! file for divorce! even though we both promised agreed handshook pinkyswore no filing until after the tour in the fall."
She was aggravated that the news had come to her through headlines and insisted that while the singer was on tour, she would be at home raising kids.
