Sara Evans and Hubby Call Truce

Sara Evans: Click to watchAfter hurling wild allegations and slinging mud every which way, Sara Evans and her estranged husband Craig Schelske have agreed to play nice -- but there is still a chill in the air.

Both parties showed up in a Nashville court to hash out some of the terms of their nasty split. When asked if he still loved Evans, Schelske replied, "Yes, I do." When Evans was asked if she shared the same feeling, the country diva said nothing.

Inside the courtroom, Sara and Craig both agreed not to air their dirty laundry in the press. They also agreed to take psychological exams, which could become a factor in the custody case -- the couple has three children.

They also agreed not to physically or verbally abuse each other. And, in a blow to Johnnie Walker, they agreed not to use "excessive" alcohol. Schelske also agreed to find a new place to live. For now, Sara will have primary custody of their kids and Craig will have visitation rights.

63. Well done Sara!

Kick the sexual addict out of your life! There is nothing more you can do for him! He is very sick and he was sucking the life out of her. Husband has kicked Sara to the gutter for long enough.

I wish I had the guts to come forward and tell my family & friends that my spouse has the same MENTAL ILLNESS. This porn addiction is of epidemic proportion and most spouses are ignoring it, justifying it, and making excuses for their partner's behavior. Pay attention and make it stop before it is too late.

My hat is off to Sara for coming forward and telling it for what it is.....It is a NO WIN situation. She had to get out FAST.

Her children will be better off and respect her in the long run for protecting them from her soon to be ex-husband's insanity, addictions, controlling obessions and personality flaws that ONLY HE CAN FIX.

Let us not feel sorry for the husband. He is abusive and self-destructive. Sara has only reacted to that abuse. Hopefully, she will get the necessary counseling to heal herself.

64. A lot of people have been saying that Sara Evans seems crazy, she's a terrible person, yada, yada, yada. I'm just not seeing it. She filed the divorce papers, which were explicit, I admit, but I'm sure it's for her children and her money.

Then, she did an interview on DWTS, which struck me as strange as first, but I'm sure she was under contract, and the only way to be released from it and/or get paid was to give an interview. Can't blame her for that. Other than that, she's been quiet. I wish we HAD heard some more from her, like a rebuttal to her husband's accusations. Personally, I think he's just trying to save face. By presenting doubt as to Sara's faithfulness, it makes people wonder whether her allegations are true as well. But Sara got his computer, and pictures are pretty difficult to dispute.

And I agree with everyone, she looks terrible at her hearing, which is exactly what I'd expect from a woman who's been going through hell. She just looks empty and tired and sad. I still can%u2019t help but think that she's the one who's been wronged in all of this.

65. Hey, #61...
"Kick the sexual addict out of your life! There is nothing more you can do for him! He is very sick and he was sucking the life out of her. Husband has kicked Sara to the gutter for long enough.

I wish I had the guts to come forward and tell my family & friends that my spouse has the same MENTAL ILLNESS. This porn addiction is of epidemic proportion... ETC..."

Jeez... don't take things so personally... it's not YOUR divorce... it's theirs... besides -- last update "I" read... the husband claims they BOTH were watching the EVIL PORN together... ...when their child came in...

What do ya think about that?

And, #62...

"...And I agree with everyone, she looks terrible at her hearing, which is exactly what I'd expect from a woman who's been going through hell. She just looks empty and tired and sad. I still can’t help but think that she's the one who's been wronged in all of this."

OR the one who's been caught and then added insult to injury...
(just playing devil's advocate)

66. I blame Sara for all of this mess! It would have NEVER of gotten blown up if she hadn't started leaking stuff to the press! What is going on witht hem is private but she made very harsh allegations and she made them very publicly so i can't say as I blame her husband for coming back the way he did. It's human nature to want to defend yourself. I am a fan of Sara Evans's music and I used to be a fan of her... but now, I have lost a lot of respect for her! I thinks he has handle this all wrong and I don't want to hear about how she was shocked and upset. Because many of people in the spotlight have had things like this happen and they don't use it for publicity the way she has! I don't even know Sara personally but you can tell a difference in he rpublic persona over the last year or so when she really broke out and started to get huge. The hair has gotten bigger and obviously the ego too! She has made a fool of herself and in the long run done more damage to her family, I believe than what would have been just by the parents breaking up. And furthermore, here interview on Dancing with the Stars was complete BS... she wa slaughing and making jokes through part of it! If you life is in that big of shambles and you are really that worried about your family and what not that you have to back out of a commitment like that, then you don't have time to be that light-hearted and jovial! She used her personal life as a way to back out of DWTS without getting kicked off, which she knew was coming. The best lesson she could have taught her children was that when you make a commitment of some kind, whether personal or professional, then no matter what is going on you stick it out! But then again the rest of us don't make the kind of money that Sara does singing and we can't back out of a project related tow ork because things get bumpy in our personal life. So you will have to excuse me if I don't buy her "oh woe is me" act! And I think someone said it best... it back fired and she found herself eating her own foot and having to do serious damage control!

67. When are people the world over, no matter what age they are, going to learn that marriage is built on compromise. Give as well as take. But humans go into marriage blind, I guess. It seems to be all me,me, me. Then one party says, Oh great! I can't take this any more, I'm going to have a LITTLE fun for mysel and it all blows up. No discussion, on trying to go back to to the romantic stage again, just "To Hell with IT" This mentality is "NO PATIENCE anymore. Our grandparents had the right idea, that's why most of them had the happiest married lives for those 60 to 70 years. And they had to work at it all of the time. Live and learn kiddos, young and old, don't just fluff it off. Been there done that.

68. Yo, Who the f*** is Sara Evans?

69. even if she had kept quite, some "friend" would have said something to the media. or the smoking gun ppl would have gotten ahold of the court documents and made them public. even the most private of famous ppl can never really keep their business out of the public light b/c there's ALWAYS someone out there who wants to share the biz in an effort to make the celeb more popular, thus earning them more money that would eventually trickle down to them (ie. managers, pr agents, etc) or "friends" who get paid to run their mouths.

70. I am a Sara Evan's fan, and I was certainly dissappointed in the way she has ahndled this whole thing. I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she has many PR people that should have given her better advice. I do not buy the fact that she just said these things in anger. People are coaching her on everything word she puts out there. This just shows absolutely NO CLASS.

71. I am quite disappointed in Sara, I think she is mentally off, porn with men is NO big deal!Men Criags age need more variety & excitement in the bedroom, women not willing to be a little slutty risk straying behaviors in their men.
If the woman is completely satisfying her man between the sheets, he e will stay faithful & do anything for his woman!
And she needs to be home attending to her man not dirty dancing on TV

72. Sara Evans is human & spoke too soon about something that was deeply hurtful to her. Give her a break. She is humiliated and grieving the end of her "perfect" life. I feel bad for her and her kids. The one everyone should be concerened about is her former friend/nanny. Good God, she looks worse than Nicole Richie! She looks AWFUL!!!! And now she's all, "All this media attention is making it hard to eat *sniff*!" Please. She had that problem a LONG time ago, don't blame Sara Evans! If you ask me, this friend/nanny is trying to get her own singing career going and is LOVING the media attention. Afterall, who the hell heard of her before this??

73. It is just amazing to see just how hateful so many people can be with all of the stupid, idiotic posts. Nobody here knows one little bit of the truth about their personal lives or what really happened. They and especially their children are going through one hell of a horrible time right now !! There will always be hateful morons who love to kick people when they are down and get off on the misfortune and pain of others. This board is proof !! All I will say is that I wish them and their children the best and hope they can find a way to get through this !! If reading this has "Touched A Nerve", then I guess I'm talking to you !! If you don't like it, refer to my sign name below !!!

74. How is Sara to be believed? All she ever did was praise her husband, her wonderful marriage for 13 years. Suddenly she expects all to believe that he is an alcoholic porn addict who has been emotionally abusive to her. I guess all of those smiles she has been wearing for years has been lies. If she could fake you out about how happy she was with her perversed marriage for all these years, how can you be convince that she is truthful now? Also, anyone else wonder why she suddenly quit DWTS, but will be on CMA and will be touring? You know, she would have been eliminated on the next show anyway had she stayed on because she really couldn't dance. Must admit that Jerry Springer was far more agile than Sara--and turns out far more wholesome as well!

75. Jacie - Maybe she didn't KNOW there were problems in the marriage or that he had a porn addiction. I really doubt it was something that he flaunted.

My guess on this whole story is that he got bored while his wife was out touring and he started screwing around on the computer. Then she started sensing that something was going on, but couldn't confirm it until she had a PI get on his computer. Then, the pictures were discovered, including stuff with the nanny, and that's when you know what hit the fan.

She admitted in her interview that things were in process for divorce for a while, but that she was taking things slowly to try to save the marriage. That tells me that she knew there was trouble, but didn't realize just how bad it was.
