David Arquette opened up to Oprah Winfrey on Thursday about his marriage to Courteney Cox, claiming he "felt abandoned" when the actress told him she wanted to separate.
"She came down really depressed one day and she's like 'I'm really just not that happy,'" Arquette told Oprah, and RadarOnline.com can bring you the video.
"And when she started talking about separation I felt...on the inside of our rings it says 'A Deals A Deal...' He said. “I felt really sort of abandoned at that point like she'd broken the deal."
Arquette, who says Courteney is "a beautiful person," added that she tried to help him kick his drinking habit but he wasn't ready to give up the sauce.
"Courteney told me I drank too much," the 39-year-old told Oprah. "I was pushing her away."
