Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette finally realized that sharing Canadian citizenship does not, in fact, make a successful or compatible couple. The two had been together for four years, engaged for the past two, but never made any attempt at wedding plans.

The "dress" Alanis is wearing in this picture no doubt played a role in the split.

I tried my hardest to ignore their relationship since my pea-brain could never understand why Angsty-Pants LaRou Morissette wanted to be with Van Wilder, or vice versa, so I'm at peace with this split. It's what Alanis would want.

In June 2005, Morissette told PEOPLE.com of her fiancé, "He's just such a supportive creature. I feel so loved by him, in a trampoline kind of way. He's always very happy for me."

She credited the success of their relationship in part to the fact that they're both Canadian. "We already started off with the shorthand, so I think it's a really great base. I attempted dating many American men. I tried!"

No wedding date was ever announced. "We're just really enjoying this (engagement) phase," Morissette told PEOPLE.com last year. Said Reynolds, "We feel like we're already married."

Well, I guess that's true in the sense that you hate each other.
