T.R. Knight and Mark Cornelson Part Ways

I`m sad... :(

 

true that they already split up.(sigh).It kind sad for me cause they really such a adorable couple .Btw,what truly happen between them?(it's a sad October.)

Let's be honest, how many people at 20 years old are really ready for a lifelong relationship?  I know there are those exceptions but I know even though I wanted to be in a LTR at that age I was completely emotionally unprepared for it.  At that age people should be playing the field and experiencing different things.

Who's gonna pay for Mark's 21st Birthday party?

This is filed under my WHO CARES folder. They were always creepy together.

If Mark was 30 and TR was 46, they might have stood a chance, but a 36 year old and a 20 year old?  Odds are against it.  And I still suspect they were dating when Mark was underage, which is dangerous and irresponsible.

This is so sad. They were like my favorite gay couple. They always seemed so happy together too, guess not.. 

 

Harvey Milk: You gotta give 'em hope.

its sad that T.R and his bf have broken up. and truely gay or straight i hate to see good couples break up. its just sad.

I saw them smooching once in front of the Arclight here in L.A.

 

But the only people who know why a relationship didn't work out are the ones who were in it.

His boyfriend is too young for parenthood as TR want to be father before he enter into middle-age crisis.  If MC is into 30's instead of 20's, they can get together to raise a baby.

I thought for sure TR would have shared a room with Mark...why did Mark need his own room?

I keed, I keed!! lol

It really doesn't get any more adorkable than this: Video

I'm sure some of you guys felt the same too...

Now Papa's gonna find a new toy(boy)!!! Or a baby... Well, hopefully another ready-to-be Papa...

Mark's last name is spelled Cornelsen. He's reached 21 in early Sept.

That means he was 19 when they met in Oct 2007 and started dating that Dec. That's far past the age of consent.

I knew something was amiss when he the LA Times asked him about his private life and he only said he was still close to his former GA castmates and was bonding with Parade ensemble. The split seems amicable and no need to add undue drama. Most likely Mark wasn't ready to move to NYC in the upcoming months while TR really wants to return to that theatre scene.

I know this will not sit well with some people, but I have a real problem with the declaration by the author of this piece (and the comments) that this is "sad" news.

First of all, we don't know if it's sad.  If their relationship wasn't working, it may be happy news for them to be moving on.  Most of us don't know these two men, and we're not in any position to say whether it's sad. 

Second, and maybe more important, I am really troubled by this notion that it's sad that their relationship ended because "all breakups are sad" and because "the gay community" was getting so much joy out of their public status as an out gay couple -- in other words, as if they were meant to be a couple for life ("4EVAH"?) or even worse not for their benefit, but because their relationship existed to make us all happy.  It's one thing to have fairy tales and romantic ideals that two people can mate for life, from their 30s into their 90s.  But it's not realistic, and not always sad when it doesn't turn out to be so.  People grow and change.  Sometimes it's not only worse to stay together and make each other unhappy when lives become incompatible, but sometimes these fantasies cause more breakups in adult relationships when people expect "happily ever after."  Is that what's sad? That this is a "painful reminder" that relationships end? We can blame fables, romance novels, and Hollywood for only so much.

I've spent the last few years telling homophobes that gay relationships can't harm anyone else's marriage, life, or happiness -- or the fabric and joy of society in the "instiution of marriage" -- as if everyone else's marriage is anyone's business.  I've said over and over that the way we live our lives has nothing to do with anyone else's life or relationships, much less their expectations about how other people should couple up.   I don't see how I can make that argument over and over and then not be frustrated with these "expectations" and" joys" people seem to be getting out of other people's relationships.  "Favorite gay couple"?  People you don't even know?

The relationship is and was theirs.  We have no idea if they're unhappy about it, and until I hear that they're sad and dejected over the breakup, I see no reason to be sad about it.

They can move on now, and so should everyone else.
