Matthew and Mollyreportedlycalled it quits a year later.
Matthew has never fully been able to get over her, they added.
He wanted a wife and at least a couple of kids, they added.
And he said he wouldnt even mind marrying a woman who already had kids.
You know, Im really grateful to her for that.
The 54-year-old actress had told Matthew at the time: We know youre drinking.
He revealed: Yeah, imagine how scary a moment that was.
In an interview withPeoplelast year, Matthew said: I didnt know how to stop.
For a period of time, the comedy star believed he could shield himself with his contagious humor.
I thought being funny all the time was how I would get through, he said.
I thought [Friends] was going to fix everything.
He said: [They] were understanding, and they were patient.Its like penguins.
Thats kind of what the cast did for me.
