Ashlee filed for divorce because she can’t handle Pete’s crazy behavior? One source very familiar with the situation tells TMZ.com, “It’s really all about Pete’s erratic behavior.” The source adds, “She really wanted out.”

However sources connected with Wentz tell TMZ otherwise, Ashlee’s claim that Pete was just too erratic is b.s. — and they simply grew apart.

According to one connected source, “After Bronx was born Ashlee made a conscious decision to get out of the business, but Pete’s heart was in music so he kept touring and that became a big issue in their relationship.”

A conflict has already emerged, sources tell TMZ Pete wants joint legal and physical custody of Bronx and in Ashlee’s divorce papers, she’s asking for primary physical custody.

She has also the court restore her name to Ashlee Nicole Simpson. Ashlee formally changed her name to Ashlee Simpson-Wentz less than a month after marrying Wentz back in 2008.

There was no third party involved. Can anyone ever works things out these days? Sigh.
Ok enough negativity.
