"So I must now leak it myself so as the record is straight," she wrote.

O'Connor blamed pressures placed upon Herridge by "certain people in his life."

"Within three hours of the ceremony being over the marriage was kyboshed by the behavior of certain people in my husband's life.

She praised Herridge, a therapist, for being a wonderful man.

"I love him very much. I'm sorry I'm not a more regular woman. I truly believe though it is painful to admit, we made a mistake rushing into getting married, for altruistic reasons, and weren't aware or prepared for the consequences on my husband's life and the lives of those close to him. He has been terribly unhappy and I have therefore ended the marriage. I think he is too nice to do so. And too nice to trap," O'Connor wrote.

O'Connor, 45, has four children from previous relationships. She married Herridge after he replied to an internet ad posted by her and which sough a new man in her life.
