In an interview with New York Magazine, Elisabeth Moss described her marriage as "traumatic and awful and horrible."  Moss was briefly married to Former Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen, who had previously said he was, "a terrible husband."

The AMC Mad Men starlet, now 31, faulted her age and inexperience for having jumped into a marriage a year after she met her ex-husband which ended after eight months.  Moss married Armisen when she was 26, and she had first met Armisen (who was 42 at the time) when Jon Hamm hosted SNL.  In an interview with Howard Stern, Armisen said, "I think I was a terrible husband, I think I'm a terrible boyfriend."   

Armisen went onto admitting in his interview that he tends to rush things with women.  He said, "I want to be married, I want to live together ... and then somewhere around a year or two years, I get freaked out. I freak out emotionally and then I actually feel like 'Oh my God, who's this stranger in my house?'"  He went on to suggesting he should go back to therapy.

Moss finally spoke more in depth about her marriage with the former SNL actor in her interview with New York Magazine.  She said, "Looking back, I feel like I was really young, and at the time I didn't think that I was that young,"  Moss had previously said to New York's Page Six, according to The Huffington Post, "One of the greatest things I heard someone say about him is, 'He's so great at doing impersonations. But the greatest impersonation he does is that of a normal person.'" 

In her interview with New York Magaine, the Mad Men actress went onto say, "(Her marriage) was extremely traumatic and awful and horrible. At the same time, it turned out for the best. I'm glad that I'm not there. I'm glad that it didn't happen when I was 50. I'm glad I didn't have kids. And I got that out of the way. Hopefully. Like, that's probably not going to happen again." 

Moss admitted to indulging in celebrity culture and reading a tabloid every now and again.  However when she saw herself on the gossip pages with details about her divorce, she was taken aback.  She said, "I always knew that the stuff that you read is not true, but when I was in the situation and you really, actually read things that you apparently said or did that are 100 percent made up ... It's just the strange, simple thing of, that's your heart they're talking about, and it just ... it sucks."

Mad Men's sixth season will premiere April 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT with a two-hour episode.
