This week's announcement of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's impending divorce under the title of "Conscious Uncoupling," has sent the Internet and world into a reaction mix of bemusement, confusion, and plenty of eye-rolling.

There is some sympathy for the couple, but marketing their divorce as something better than what it is makes it hard for people to actually feel bad for them. Because instead of going through a divorce, they're going through something 'better'.

Paltrow has already annoyed the world with her coy better-than-thou attitude, so this 'conscious uncoupling' is unbelievably grating because it's yet another Paltrow attempt at rising above helpless Normals' lives, and say that her divorce is some kind of transitory journey while everyone else's is an ordinary, shitty divorce.
