Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' marriage may have looked like the picture of perfection from the outside, but insiders say the couples' troubles were nothing new, stemming at least in part from Cruise's commitment to Scientology.

"She was never truly comfortable with the Scientology thing," a source close to Holmes told E! News. "It was something she accepted and put up with for many years because it was important to Tom, and for that reason, important to her. But over the past year, they had started to see things differently, and she was beginning to pull away."

"It wasn't that she was against Scientology," the source continued. "She wasn't at all. She definitely saw its benefit, but she also didn't want it to be her everything, and for Tom, in some ways, it was. She wanted more freedom to make her own decisions."

But it appears Scientology wasn't the couple's only area of conflict.

Another source, who was close with Holmes when she first started dating the Rock of Ages star, said Holmes' personality changed significantly during their marriage…and not in a good way.

"She gave up everything to be with him," the source said. "When she met him, she stopped seeing all her friends and being the normal girl that she was before.She truly adored him. He made her feel like all she needed in her life was him. Everything she had to say was ‘Tom this,' ‘Tom that.' It wasn't like she was in the first flush of love, when you can't stop talking about someone, it was past that point. It was as if he controlled her in a way just because she had barely anyone else in her life but him, and almost no one her own age.
