The Sun reports that Madonna felt husband Guy Ritchie showed a “complete lack of love and sympathy” after the singer snapped eight bones in a fall from a horseback in 2005, prompting her to tell the film director: “Did you ever actually love me?”
A family friend told the British tabloid, “From the moment Madonna fell from that horse, their marriage was doomed. If you can pinpoint an exact event or incident which spelled the death knell for them as a couple, Madonna’s horse-riding accident was it. Every other row the couple had following that boiled down to what happened that summer.”
As Madonna recovered from the fall, she was expecting her man to be at her bedside and showering her with sympathy. “Guy’s approach was that a few broken bones is no big deal – and that there was no point in making a drama out of a crisis,” the family friend revealed. “But in Madonna’s mind, she could have been killed, and she wanted the full works and to be lavished with love and attention. She was so furious at what she saw as Guy’s lack of support and cruelty that she told him she was wrong to marry him as he couldn’t possibly be her soulmate.” Read more.
