Jacob: Yes, with Anita in 2005.
 
<b>Web Xtra:</b> Who was to be blamed for the break-up or broken-heart?
Jacob: She is to be blamed because according to her, it was a long-distance relationship and she also termed it “Help me finish my course” so she decided to end, so that is what I encountered from her [I exclaim, that was very painful, [he also cuts in] hmmmm, that was what I went through.
