The author stated:
I met Jerry at the end of what was the most difficult period of my life. I had just made a painful decision to dissolve a five-year relationship that began when I was 21 and culminated in a brief marriage. Jerry was neither the cause nor the effect of the breakup, but his friendship gave me strength and resilience at a time of desperate need, and it has formed the basis for my happiness in the years that have followed.
On the other hand, Seinfeld revealed that his wife and kids helped him:
"If it wasn't for Jess and the kids, I'd really blow my brains out. Jessica saved my life. She gave me something to care about."
