An insider told Britain’s Daily Mirror, "The relationship has totally broken down. Britney desperately wanted it to work and still does for the sake of their family, but she has had enough...But rather than move out, she has ordered him down to a separate flat in their basement. They have, in effect, divided their house."

A poem Britney recently published on her official website has given critics of her marriage a lot to chew on. A selection from the poem, called “A Remembrance of Who I Am,�? reads, “Silly patterns that we follow, You pull me in, I'm being swallowed. By the ones you think you love, They pull you down, You can't see up above.�? Many suspect the poem is about Kevin. One source for British newspaper, the Sun confirmed, stating, "Britney is clearly in emotional turmoil over her life with Kevin…He spends a lot of his time hanging around with his friends, which is not the way to carry on when you have a pregnant young [mom] at home.�?
